My first click gave:
"Future climate for this location is expected to be unlike anything currently found anywhere on Earth, so there are no climate matches for this location."

Well why have a dot for it then?
No description, no nothing?

I think it means that their database has problems. It was very close to another place with a similar climate that has an answer.

But the second part of not even describing the prediction is just a poor implementation.

Okay, thanks. I got the same answer for most of the already hot places, so I figured they just change into something not yet experienced.

I guess you get the same message then if the combination of climate factors really just doesn't match.

It was a hot place, but it wasn't the hottest of places. Points in every direction had answers.

But them refusing to even say what the conditions will be after giving that message seems counterproductive.

@InsertUser @relet @fionag11 well there are places that will become unhabitable.

I refer you to the second paragraph of my last three posts in this thread.

Yep. You're screwed. I got the same for my home, Bangkok.

@InsertUser I got the same thing for my second click. I'm wondering if their app isn't centered around western countries. Is there enough knowledge available about for example the African continent? If you get a result there it mentions the winters won't be any drier, but the 'winters' is in some countries the raining season. Are those getting wetter? That's the question I'm expecting to get an answer to. @fionag11

IIRC the research looked like it was originally based in the US cities.

I get that that there may be places where the output of the model doesn't entirely match another place. But when they do a match they then give an explanation of the change. I don't get why they can't do an explanation of the change if there's no match. They must have the data, it's what they used for matching.

It doesn't really explain the matching method well either so, what variables are matched?

@karelbrits @InsertUser That's a great question; you should email the map creator (see Credits under Learn).
