We can calculate the climate ratio to determine the climate type.
- if the climate ratio is less than 0.4 the climate type would be arid,
- if the climate ratio is between 0.4 to 0.8 climate ratio would be semirid ,
- if the climate ratio is between 0.8 to 1.2 climate type would be subhumid and
- if the climate ratio is greater than 1.2 climate type would be humid.
The formula for climate ratio is p/Ep, where
- p=precipitation
- Ep=potential evapotranspiration.

What is a climate ratio?
Climate ratio is used to describe the moisture side of climate. It compares the precipitation (P) with the potential evapotranspiration (Ep) for a region. One way to do this is to express the relationship between them as a ratio using the formula: Climate ratio = P / Ep When the potential evaporation is greater than yearly precipitation, this ratio is less than 1. When precipitation is greater than evapotranspiration, the ratio is greater than 1. P: precipitation (in mm) or the amount of moisture available for evapotranspiration, evapotranspiration is the combined process of evaporation and plant respiration. Ep: potential evapotranspiration (in mm) or the amount of moisture needed for evapotranspiration. This value increases as temperature and plant life increase. The climate ratios are used to determine climate type: P/Ep: Less than 0.4: arid climate 0.4 - 0.8: semiarid climate 0.8 - 1.2: subhumid climate Greater than 1.2: humid climate Source: NOAA
