| Abstract | Climate maps classified by seasonal rainfall. November - April (summer) and May - October (winter)‚¬â€œ they also use median rainfall not mean). Then the following rules were followed: sd: If summer>winter AND ratio(greater/lesser)>3 AND Annual total rainfall >350mm = ‘Summer Dominant’ s: If summer>winter AND ratio(greater/lesser)<3 and >1.3 AND Annual total rainfall >350mm = ‘Summer’ wd: If winter>summer AND ratio(greater/lesser)>3 AND Annual total rainfall >350mm = ‘Winter Dominant’ w: If winter>summerAND ratio(greater/lesser)<3 and >1.3 AND Annual total rainfall >350mm = ‘Winter’ u: If ratio <1.3 AND Annual total rainfall >350mm,‘Uniform’, a: If Annual total rainfall < 350mm,‘Arid’ |
