In which condition will a climate not be classified as A even if the annual mean temperature is high?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: If any month falls below 18°C
Köppen’s A group is determined by a monthly threshold, not by the annual mean alone. Every month in an A climate must have a mean temperature of at least 18°C. Therefore, even if the annual average is high, one month below 18°C prevents classification as A and may place the region in another thermal group, depending on the other temperature and precipitation conditions.
