Climate Classifications Unveiled: Exploring Diverse Climate Zones and Their Features

The video tutorial explains Vladimir Kirpin's climate classification system, which divides the world into five main climate types: tropical (A), arid (B), sea (C), continental (D), and polar (E). Each climate type is characterized by specific temperature and precipitation patterns. The tutorial further breaks down these climates into sub-climates, such as EF and ET within polar climates, and BS and BW within arid climates. The video also discusses the influence of the sea on maritime climates and the absence of such influence in continental climates. Additionally, it covers the seasonal precipitation patterns that define sub-climates within A, C, and D climates.

What is the main characteristic of A climates?
