Struggling With Map Climate Zones – April 20, 2023 at 04:04PM

Been working on and off on a world map for a setting I’m developing, and have been having a difficult time trying to make the climate zones more accurate before I begin to actually flesh out the map and make it all pretty.

Any help or comments would be most welcome, here’s the set of maps, base, tectonics, winds, currents and climate zones. And some world info for the scientifically inclined. ((This is all WIP))
