Talk:Cabazon, California

Railroad section needs rewrite or deletion
The Railroad section of the article appears to have been written with no proofreading and appears to be geared solely toward railfans and not the general public. I'm not sure it's appropriate for this article and am considering deleting it as it offers very little usable information about the city. Concerns? Alika 23:15, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Climate -- it looks like desert and the climate box so says
Calling the local climate "Hot-summer Mediterranean" must be a misreading of the map by the cited expert. Nearby Banning has such a climate, and looks it. It also has about three times as much precipitation. Cabazon in contrast seems to be in desert as the climate box shows. It gets an amount of precipitation somewhere between the quantities that Phoenix and Tucson, both considered 'hot desert' locations.

I have rarely seen a sharper transition between any humid climate as shown by natural vegetation over at most a mild grade as between Banning and Cabazon. Seemingly one curve on Interstate 10 delimits a sharp divide between two ecological zones.

The Köppen classifications generally exist to approximate the boundaries between biomes. The classification for Cabazon is either BSHs or BWhs -- S for steppe, allowing for a winter maximum of rainfall, or W for desert even with a winter maximum of rainfall.

Checking the Köppen classification... the annual mean temperature is 17.1°C, and the city receives 163 cm of annual precipitation. With a winter maximum in precipitation (summer months get practically no rain, but winter months receive significant rainfall) the town would need 171 cm of precipitation to avoid a desert climate. It just barely misses having a steppe climate, and it is warm enough to have a hot desert climate. The weather box suggests that it has a climate barely in the hot-desert category.

The expert opinion cited is of the wrong town, so the citation must be removed, and the description of the climate as a hot desert instead of "hot-summer Mediterranean" even if some places with "hot summer Mediterranean" climates are nearby, as in Banning just west of San Gorgonio Pass and even some mountain locations surrounding the town.

BWHs it is. Pbrower2a (talk) 02:43, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
