The Iberian penisua is the most naturally diverse area in Europe. This is due to the mountainous terrain and lower latitude.

I went to check and I guess you're right that Spain is a "fairly small country". Even Thailand is bigger bigger than Spain and Spain is only the 52. Largest country on Earth, with just over 500,000km^2.

@-AxisA- the mercator projection makes many countries in the far Northern Latitudes look much bigger than they are. Spain is big, but much smaller than many countries that look a similar size in the tropical regions

Most of the Iberia Peninsula is like that bro. I'm from Portugal and I could say the same about my country

i would say even italy, cause its very long from north to south

Strange. Supposedly coastal parts receive more rain

@user-xq5yq3mn2c Coasts are exceptions. However, Brazil's Southern Coast is way rainy than the northeastern coast.

Im glad someone else mentioned this! if you drive for a day in south africa you will literally cross 4-5 different climates/seasons. its trully incredible on how diverse our landscape is.

As a South African, I agree

Have you noticed that many foreigners can’t find it in themselves to say something positive about South Africa? They want us to believe that our country is worthless and hopeless, but that can’t be further from the truth. South Africa is a wildly underrated and misunderstood country.

@@SirKaison Our country is quite bad though

There are some deserts in Brazil, or semi arid zones? All other parts are Tropical Rainforest,Tropical Savana or Humid subtropical

@@aleksandardjordjevic95 still not much considering Brazil is bigger than Australia and the contiguous US

Definitely not, most of the Brazilian population lives between plateaus, just like Spain for example, the climate of Brasilia for example is subtropical high, it is not the same climate as much of central Brazil

Russia has few variations too, considering the majority of its variations are derivated from cold climates, but few variations between very different climates, like Australia or US both have

I think Indonesia which he already mentioned is number one. We're definitely high up there though.

I've been in SW Turkey, Aegean coast, at all times of the year. In late March/early April, I would be walking around with a t-shirt and shorts in 20C weather, and the locals would be wearing puffer jackets and woolly hats! I'm off there in 2 days for Christmas and New Year, it's usually very mild and sunny, although it can rain heavily at times. I was also there for 12 days last February, and it was glorious. Clear, sunny and warm all day from around 10am, but really cold at night and early mornings.

My family is from sw Zac. So I know what you mean about central Mexico

@@cool_gabe I live in Aguascalientes (no more than 3 hours east of SW Zacatecas) and to me it's incredible how much much colder it gets in Zacatecas city compared to Aguas.

That's the altitude. Mexico City is at 2240 meters. That's higher than any mountain east of the Mississippi.

I live in the southwestern part of Mexico City next to the Desierto de los leones national park, which gets covered in moss during the rainy season. I go mushroom hunting every year with my family and we easily get 5-6 pounds of edible mushrooms every time. It kinda feels like the Pacific Northwest but with San Francisco temperatures.

There is a hidden sugar maple forest complete with an oceanic/ subtropical highland climate on the mountains in Jalisco. There are also firs, walnut trees, sycamores, various oaks, different epiphytic bromeliads, and even tree sized ferns. It is a relic forest that was more common in Mexico during the Pleistocene. Mexico even currently has twelve glaciers on three of its tallest mountains, which are all volcanoes.

Easter island which belongs to Chile has tropical climate which I forget often :)

@@davidfriend9243 Rapa Nui or Easter Island is located very far from continental Chile, practically in Oceania, another continent... On Easter Island there are no tropical jungles, its climate is subtropical savannah... In addition, only 0.04% of the entire population of Chile lives on Easter Island... Chile is the second country with the lowest average annual temperature in the Americas (8ºC), in continental Chile there is no tropical climate, much less jungles...

@@CamilaMiranda3 Easter Island is indeed classified as tropical rainforest climate - not as subtropical savanna as you mention. You are mixing vegetation cover and even population in your arguments. The Köppen Climate Classification consider temperatures and precipitation totals to define climates. Actually, Easter Island was covered in rainforests in the past, but due to undiscriminated deforestation it was left empty. This is also the main theory that explains the fall of the Rapa Nui civilization.

​​@@CamilaMiranda3it's so weird to me that you felt the need to pretty much discount the island and act like it's not worth considering, when you were already on the right in saying that there are no jungles in the island. That's all the video had said after all, and whether it's a subtropical savannah or a tropical rainforest weather is besides the point. It comes across to me like, through trying to seem smart and infallible, you're just openly discriminating against the island, which, being prejudiced is worse than being fallible lmao P.S. also, your original comment is like, Chile is a country of "temperate and cold climate", right? So, like, fuck the Atacama desert and nearby regions too, then? 😅

@@CamilaMiranda3 el clima no se mide segun cantidad de poblacion, y tampoco segun la vegetacion eso se llama bioma no clima

I would say Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar have the least variation as the UAE does have mountains which would be considerably cooler (though perhaps not necessarily enough to be a different classification).

Not it's not similar, just that it has seasons, but sao paulo is much hotter on average, much sunnier and less rainy

@@HolyRomanEmpire962-1806 That's why I said it's similar, not identical

Chile has continental climate if you use the 0°C isotherm.

@@solomon4554 could you please explain?

@@WesternPuchuu Köppen climate classification has two standards to separate temperate climates from continental climates, 0°C in the coldest month or -3°C in the coldest month. If you use the 0°C isotherm, Chile has continental climate.

@@solomon4554 Using 0 °C as the minimum temperature in the coldest month would make many zones typically considered as mediterranean fit into a continental climate.

Don Jorguito, unfortunately 85 thousand people (and counting) were witnesses who expressly named Chile and its Patagonia. Furthermore, Patagonia is very different from the Argentine side, because for these purposes it is more sensual to refer to Chilean Patagonia (full of islands, canals, fjords, ice fields and temperate rainforests) than to southern Argentina; mostly desert-arid. In addition, Chile is the end of the geographical world (Puerto Williams, Cape Horn and Diego Ramirez Islands) Greetings from Valparaíso - Chile

A bit like Andalucía, Spain. You are in Málaga and even in November you might swim, but If you go to Granada, you find a more continental climate with colder nights. Furthermore, you have Sierra Nevada and you can take your Ski equipment :D Then, in Almería, you find semi-dessert landscape and in another place near Gibraltar there is mountain are with humid climate, so that there are still small rests of suptropical forests and spruces.

Chile does have a lot of variety, the Atacama Desert is not completely cold arid, in the Tarapacá region there is the Pampa del Tamarugal, and there is the Pica oasis that has a hot arid climate (BWh) similar to that of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and on the North coast is Arica, which also has a Warm Arid climate (although not with the thermal amplitude of Pica), Arica's climate is similar to that of Lima, Peru, and let's not forget the "Norte Chico", Huentelauquen has a cold semi-arid climate (Bsk) similar to that of Baku, Azerbaijan; and Ovalle has a warm semi-arid climate (Bsh) similar to that of Marrackech, Morocco, and not only that, in the island area of ​​Hanga Roa in Rapa Nui it has a tropical climate ( Af) similar to that of Freeport, Bahamas and San Juan Bautista on the island Robinson Crusoe has a subtropical climate (Cfa) similar to that of Vila do Corvo in the Azores Islands, also in the mountain range is Valle Nevado, which has a continental subalpine climate ( Dsc) similar to that of Sierra Nevada, Spain.

@@benja9602 Various errors. The three or four places you described are very specific and limited areas; that is, what we know as "micro-climates", but the determining and influential macro climates of continental Chile are those indicated in my initial comment, which is in harmony with the updated Köppen - Geiger climate models. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clima_de_Chile#/media/Archivo:K%C3%B6ppen%E2%80%93Geiger_climate_classification_map_for_Chile.png upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6e/Mapa_clim%C3%A1tico_de_Sudam%C3%A9rica_%28K%C3%B6ppen-Geiger%29.png The warm semi-arid climate (Bsh) that you mention is actually the dry *Mediterranean* climate (BShs) typical of Murcia, Alicante and Almería, in Spain; Greece, Morocco, Australia, Mexico and California. ((David Money 2000, Weather and Climate. Cap. 3, pag. 56, Focus on Geography - Nelson and Köppen-Geiger climate classification maps at 1-km resolution)) The cold semi-arid climate (Bsk) for the town of Huentelauquen that you point out is actually another variant of the dry *Mediterranean* which can range between the *Bsh* (the previous one mentioned) or a *Bsk* depending on whether the average annual temperature is above or below below 18º most of the year (Köppen-Geiger) The climates of those 2 Chilean islands you pointed out I do not consider them "within Chile" because they are precisely island territories (France, Netherlands and UK have tropical climates because of Guadeloupe, Aruba and British Virgin Islands respectively? Debatable) There is also another mistake: the beautiful and cliffy Robinson Crusoe Island has a definitely Mediterranean climate; specifically warm temperate, Mediterranean type, with a dry season of four to five months, with strong oceanic influence, and is located about 600 kms away from the coasts of the V Region. Rapa Nui Island (or Easter Island) is geographically located in Polynesia at a distance of 3,700 km from Chile

​@@benja9602 I forgot: the climate of Valle Nevado that you mistakenly refer to as continental subalpine (Dsc) [sic] is actually the *Mediterranean subalpine climate (Csc)* This type of Mediterranean climate is “special”; It is only found in the regions of the southern Andes of Chile and the Haleakala volcano in Hawaii (as micro-climates). Furthermore, the acronym you wrote is wrong “(Dsc)”, as it refers to the boreal sub-Arctic climate, literally on the other side of the world, almost 9,573 km away from Valle Nevado, Santiago de Chile. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subarctic_climate

@@rekrapretep6657 No, Valle Nevado in winter has an average temperature of -4.1°C and in summer it has an average temperature of 11.3°C, so it is not considered a temperate climate (C), but continental (D), and I apologize because I was wrong, it is not Dsc, since the rainfall is sufficient to be a humid subarctic climate (Dfc), and the name is not essential, according to your logic then in the center of Chile there is no Mediterranean climate. because it is miles from the Mediterranean Sea.

@@benja9602 Several unforgivable errors. First, you associate average temperatures with a certain type of weather, which is a rookie mistake. Second, you are pointing out the "continental climate (D)" (sic) but the continental climate is the “generic base climate” that contains 4 types of continental climates: 1° the temperate continental climate (Dfa); 2° the Hemiboreal climate (Dfb); 3° the humid continental climate (Dfc); and 4° the hypercontinental or extreme subarctic climate (Dfd) The first, the Dfa climate, is found in the northern hemisphere of the planet; It is not associated with the Nevado Valley. The Dfb or hemiboreal climate, as its name indicates (boreal) is found in the northern regions of Europe and America. Then there is the humid continental climate (Dfc) which is located in the northern hemisphere (40° N to 70° N) and is characterized by being reached in winter by the icy winds of the Arctic polar front; This type of weather is also called “Russian winter”. Finally, the hypercontinental or extreme subarctic climate (Dfd) is a climate typical of the coldest regions of Siberia and obviously has no relationship with the mountain slopes of Valle Nevado.Continental climates themselves occur mainly in the northern hemisphere due to the large land masses found there. Most of northern and northeastern China, eastern and southeastern Europe, much of Russia south of the Arctic Circle, central and southeastern Canada, and central and northeastern United States have this type of climate, the ONLY EXCEPTIONS in the southern hemisphere, with certain nuances, are Argentina and to a lesser extent Brazil. The only possible climates for that area (Valle Nevado) are the continentalized Mediterranean climate (BSk/Cs), the continental Mediterranean climate (Ds) [do not confuse] and the subalpine Mediterranean climate (Csc), *all of which have Mediterranean roots* The subalpine Mediterranean climate is the climate that best matches the climatic and orographic characteristics of the Valle Nevado sector.
