    Would it more intuitive to swap the colors in the example: blue for more presperation (water) and red for higher temperatures?

      Are the colors swapped? From the article:

      > The colors are a mix of oranges (for temperatures) and blues (for precipitation).

      Isn’t that the case? Or was your recommendation taken on board in the 40 minutes since you posted this and I read the article?

      Anyway one improvement I could see would be adding something to the legend like “hot and dry” and “hot and humid” or similar to clarify a combined interpretation of the variables.

        I do remember that Scotland was mostly colored orange and the area around London blue. Now it is the way around.

    Very cool what you can do with Observable.

    The color for low temperature and precipitation looks indistinguishable from the color for high temperature and precipitation.
