Pretty wild that you can drive a short distance northwest and go from a Finland climate to a Louisiana one.

((Altitude))

Edit: oh shit that's the ACT. I thought it was some other mountainous area. I call shenanigans.

oh shit that’s the ACT

Actually looking at it again, I think it might not be the ACT. I think it's around Kosciuszko.

Yes, I would think Finland would be more around the top of the Snowies/Vic Alps, particularly as you approach the treeline. England seems a better fit for the ACT (though you might need to ignore summer for that).

ACT = Wales. My welsh grandmother literally moved up there after grandpa died because it reminded her of glamorgan.

Does Wales run a dry 40 degrees in summer?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah Kosciuszko would make a hell of a lot more sense.

So they reckon that both Sydney and Melbourne have the same climate (?!), and that climate is just like England (?!?!).

No.

Just no.

Just confusing use of colour for the dataset I think with most of the population in different shades of green. Sydney is marked in the Louisiana region as far as I can tell.
