Explanation:

The Koppen climate classification scheme divides climates into five main climate groups:
A (tropical), B (dry), C (temperate), D (continental), and E (polar).
The second letter indicates the seasonal precipitation type, while the third letter indicates the level of heat.
Hence temperature and precipitation are two amin parameters for classification.
Af = Tropical rainforest climate
Am = Tropical monsoon climate
Aw or As = Tropical wet and dry or savanna climate
