the different climate types. The zones were selected using a combination of the Köppen-Geiger climate classifications (Figure 6) and the Natural Earth 7 country borders (v4.1.0). 7 https://www.naturalearthdata.com/ Page 34 of 107 Figure 6: Köppen-Geiger climate classification map for the MENA region, adapted

of important records and in a letter dated 3 May 1962 he stated his willingness for the Met Office at Bracknell to be designated as the official national Place of Deposit for meteorological records. In 1989, the decision was taken to relocate the Archive to a new site at the Stirling Centre in Bracknell

borders is often not useful, as these do not reflect the climate and some countries may experience a range of climate types. Therefore, the region is divided into nine spatial analysis zones that reflect the different climate types. The zones were selected using the Köppen-Geiger climate classifications
