"Southern Nevada" and "Los Angles" are very different.
Thank you! Clearly the map maker has never been to Las Vegas and Los Angeles in the summer. VASTLY different. There's a reason LA is the second biggest city in America and the weather is a huge part of it. Surfing weather vs Death Valley lite.
And I doubt that they have been to Spain. Central Spain is -5º in the winter to 40º+ in the summer, and dry AF. Central Spain is a plateau, elevation 700m, so it has no buffering from the coast. I very much doubt you'd have that in a coastal region.
Idk where you're getting those numbers from nor do I have the data this map was made from but that part of Australia is arid, it can easily get up to 40 in summer and there are definitely parts of it that get down to -5 in winter
