Which symbol is correct for hot desert climate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: BWh
BWh is the Köppen symbol for hot desert climate. B identifies the dry group, W identifies desert rather than steppe, and h indicates the hot thermal subtype, conventionally with a mean annual temperature of at least 18°C. BSk is cold semi-arid steppe, Cfb is temperate oceanic climate, and ET is tundra. Thus only BWh matches all three conditions.
