I encountered two different ways how to border B_k/B_h climates. One is same as continental/subtropical border (0C in coldest month), other is same as subtropical/tropical (18C in coldest month). Which one is more correct?
There are three main isotherms to distinguish cold deserts from hot, less than 18°C for annual temperature and temperature of less than -3°C or 0°C in the coldest month. Personally I am with the first isotherm.

I chose 6°C, because a mean of 6°C in the coolest month is generally at the poleward/altitudinal limit for trunking palm trees, such as washingtonia filifera
What about new climate type, some like Bxm (mild desert/semi-arid)
Like, "D-like" ones are Bxc, "C-like" ones are Bxm and "A-like" are Bxh.
