[edit]

Global warming did not make the majority of Ohio humid subtropical by area according to that map. I refuse to accept -3° C as an acceptable cutoff between C and D climates according to Koeppen---not when the entire state has an average absolute annual temperature below 0° F! The cutoff belongs at the freezing mark for the coldest month. Three degrees Celsius may not seem great until you see the Fahrenheit equivalent is---a substantial 5.4 degrees. The map is an abomination---only some low-lying areas in the extreme south including downtown Cincinnati have all months above freezing. Of course nowhere on a Great Lake is humid subtropical!

The maps are accurate using the -3° C standard---but stink anyway! I am from Allentown, Pennsylvania which is hardly humid subtropical. The maps were provided courtesy of Oregon State University but used the wrong standard. Heff01 (talk) 18:47, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
