Question
NOTE: Determine whcnjora 5. Is the average annual rainfall for Los Angeles (in millimeters) less than the threshold you calculated in If yes, then we have a dry climate (Group B, arid or semiarid) Skip down to question 4? #9. 6. Is the average temperature above 10 °C (50 °F) in the warmest months, and a coldest month a between 0°C (32°F) and 18 °C (64 ?)? climate groups, then we must be in Group C. --Ifyes, and if we aren't in any of the other 7. Climates are given codes with 2, 3 or 4 letters. For Group C climates, the second letter is for the pattern of precipitation. w indicates dry winters (driest winter month average precipitation less than one-tenth wettest summer month average precipitation indicates dry summers (driest summer month less than 30 mm average precipitation and less than one-third wettest winter month precipitation) ( means significant precipitation in all seasons (neither above mentioned set of conditions fulfilled). For Los Angeles, the second letter isExplanation / Answer
5.
The threshold value came out to be 656 while the total annual rainfall is 379.1 therefore we have a dry climate group B. And since we are in dry climate range hence we have to opt for question 9.
9.
Since our annual precipitation is (379.1/656)*100 = 57.79 percentage of the threshold, therefore we are having BS (semi-arid: steppe climate). Apart from this the average temperature is above 18 degree Celsius therefore we have “h” as our third letter and therefore the climate is “BSh”.
10.
BSh climate is also known as Hot semi-arid climate and this is the climate that we have in Los Angeles.
11.
This type of climate is found in:
Around the Mediterranean Sea, central Chile, south and west Australia, Florida and central Africa.
