wetter than New Delhi
Dalian

has the person making this ever met westoids before
why would any of them know anything at all about India or China, let alone their weather patterns (especially if they don't even know Europe, which is why this map is supposed to even exist in the first place)

This map was made for the very specific type of person who is familiar with all of the world EXCEPT europe (this type of person literally doesn't exist, there isn't a single such person on the planet) That said, it's still pretty funny, and there are worse maps out there

I read Dalian first and thought "like... in China? Surely not-oh there's Johannesburg.. and Christchurch. Ok."

I'm fairly geographically astute and this map is a reach for me. The wetness of New Delhi and the coldness of Nagoya are beyond me. I'm too poor to know the climate on Nantucket. New York isn't known for its heat. The choices generally seem off for helpful comparison.

Also, isn't Anchorage notable for it's comparatively mild climate for it's latitude? Without looking in to it I'd have thought Murmansk would have more severe weather. And Portland as Istanbul? Hmmmm

Anyway idk I guess I'm Milan

I actually understand everything about this map perfectly. I just also correctly understand that there isn't a single westoid who knows the climates of non-europe and doesn't know the climates of europe. Like that person literally cannot exist, I've never met a single person even regardless of race/nationality who didn't know europe's shit

However, even ignoring this, it's still a shitty map because it says nothing about rainfall distribution. Euros can only understand cold season, dry season is a novel concept for them
