The second letter indicates the preciptiation subgroup and the third letter the temperature subgroup.

Maps

Each climate guide has a map page dsplaying a topographic map of the location. Analyzing the map can help better undertand the climate. Altitude bands are tighter on steeper slopes wheras flatter terrain has bands spread out. Land use such as urban areas, forest and bodies of water like lakes, reservoirs and the ocean can effect the climate.
