Between BW and BS, which is considered drier?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: BW
BW is the desert subtype of Köppen’s dry Group B and is drier than BS. In BW climates, precipitation is extremely limited compared with potential evaporation. BS represents steppe or semi-arid climate, which receives somewhat more precipitation and can support more grassland. Af is a wet tropical rainforest climate, so it is not a dry-climate alternative at all.
