Climate region is pretty cut and dry and a bit more 'neater' than last time. Though you have quite a bit of control on weather in the area you pick, climate regions are just guidelines to help players stay on the same page in an area. It would be a bit weird for example if you have dry plains and your neighbour has heavy snows all the time. 

*Everything south of the [color=green]Green[/color]line is Tropical Climate
[i]Places with a tropical wet climate are also known as rain forests. Rain forests have the most predictable weather on real world Earth, with warm temperatures and regular rainfall. Annual rainfall exceeds 150 centimetres (59 inches), and the temperature varies more during a day than it does over a year. The coolest temperature, about 20-23 degrees Celsius (68-73 degrees Fahrenheit), occurs just before dawn. Afternoon temperatures usually reach 30-33 degrees Celsius (86-91 degrees Fahrenheit). Rain forests experience very little seasonal change, meaning average monthly temperatures remain fairly constant.[/i]

*Everything between the [color=Green]Green[/color]and [color=Red]Red [/color] line is a mild climate, or more often called a Mediterranean climate. [i]Mediterranean climate has a warm summer and a short, mild, and rainy winter. Mediterranean summers feature clear skies, cool nights, and little rain.[/i]

*Everything between [color=Red]Red[/color] and [color=Blue]Blue[/color] is akin to a Continental Climate. 
[i]"Areas with continental climates have colder winters, longer-lasting snow, and shorter growing seasons. They are the transition zones between mild and polar climates. Continental climates experience extreme seasonal changes."[/i]

*Everything North of [color=blue]Blue[/color] is a severely cold climate with long winters. 
"Here summers are short, but plants and animals are plentiful. Wildflowers dot the landscape, and flocks of birds return from their winter migrations to feed on insects and fish. This region is plagued by beast both fantastical and mundane. Harsh lands, however, breed harsh folk, and the Northern Tribes have been moulded into some of the fiercest and most violent warriors to blight the earth. In the summer months, the air warms just enough to enliven the sparse stretches of land suitable for farming, which serves to supplement the Northkins' common diet of fish and the flesh of bears and other, far less savoury creatures that prowl the wilderness. All other months, however, the land is deathly cold, and unnatural snow-storms are constant, made all the worse by the unholy winds blowing down north from the Forgotten Wastes. Raiding for those who live here is not only a way of life but a necessity for survival during this time."
