Peel, M. C., Finlayson, B. L. & McMahon, T. A. Updated world map of the Köppen Geiger climate classification.
In this paper, an updated global map of the current climate zoning and of its projections, according to the Köppen Geiger classification, is first provided.

Based on mapping of the current climate (mean 1999 2008), no place had Tpwb higher than 31°C and a climate model for current level showed similar results, while a model run that increases global average temperature by several degrees C was needed to bring maximum Tpwb up above 35°C, the threshold for serious heat strain at rest assumed by the authors (24).
A departure analysis was calculated by first averaging the climate variable analyzed at each grid cell for the period from 1961 1990, creating a map of the baseline "normal" climate value at each grid cell.
