WIP Unnamed World Map

[Charerg]

Thanks Charerg - helpful and informative as ever!

I more or less envisioned the rainfall patterns similarly to you - the only difference was I had the mediterranean-like belt limited to the west coast making me uncertain about the interior, but it is good to know that it could extend across the area.

I imagine the coast East of the plateau would still be in the 'f' category (fully humid) then?

Is there any guide on when elevation causes a (semi)-arid climate to go from hot steppe/desert to cold? I haven't settled on elevations 100% yet, and for the sake of variety I might try to get a cold steppe/desert climate somewhere.

The eastern coast would likely have f climates, yes. In the Köppen classification, areas that have a mean annual temperature below 18 °C are considered cold steppes/deserts. So the elevation required to drop the temperature below the threshold depends on what the annual mean at sea level elevation is.
