The Calconian climate classifcation system is a system that loosely bases off of the Koppen climate classification system as well as USDA hardiness zones. This was conceptualized by the King of Calcon in February 2022. One of the most pround debates in Calcon in recent years has been to reclassify the Köppen version of "humid subtropical", which was actually meant to be "humid mild temperate" in the original German texts by Köppen himself. On May 23, 2022, King Karlas made a new classification of the Calconian classification system, in which a new category for the C category would be Cfe, also known as "mild tundra".

USDA hardiness zones-based classification(mostly pertains to North America)

0-3: subarctic

4: cool hemiboreal

5: continential

6: nominal temperate

7: warm temperate

8: cool subtropical

9: nominal subtropical

10: seasonal tropical

11+: tropical


C climates in the Calconic system

Cfa = humid subtropical, all months average 5C+, sometimes using the 7C isotherm for more accuracy cause the US Southeast is highly deciduous and gets many frosts during the winter, despite it being milder

Cfb = warm temperate, all months average -3 to 5C

Cfc = oceanic, all months average 0C+, warm oceanic - atleast 1 month average 18C and < 22C for warmest month

Cfd = subpolar oceanic

Cfe = mild tundra; all months averages 0C+ but warmest month is less than 10C


Classifying places

Torshavn, Faroe Islands: subpolar oceanic(Cfd)

Leicester, England: oceanic(Cfc)

Luray, VA: temperate(Cfb)

Manteo, NC: humid subtropical(Cfa)
