In the Köppen system, what does lowercase h show in a dry climate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Hot condition
In the dry-climate group B, lowercase h indicates a hot thermal condition, conventionally a mean annual temperature of 18°C or more. Thus BWh means a hot desert climate: BW identifies desert conditions and h identifies the hot thermal subtype. Lowercase k indicates a cold dry climate, while winter rainfall and ice-cap conditions are represented by different symbols.
