Climate is a descriptor used by the IISS to denote average planetary temperate ranges.
- It is not designated in the UWP, but it was semi-regulated by the time of the T5SS using trade codes.

T5SS Climate Categories Table
The descriptors are as follows:
| Climate: | Temperature Range:
(Degrees Celsius) |
T5SS TC: | Lifeforms: | Remarks: |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vacuum (None) | Almost always cold or frozen. | Va (vacuum)
As (asteroid or planetoid) |
TBD | Habitation is almost always impossible without extensive technology.
|
| Frozen | Below -30 | Fr (frozen) | TBD | Habitation is near impossible without technology. |
| Very Cold | -30 to -20 | Vc (very cold) | Ic (iceworld) | Habitation is very difficult. |
| Cold | -20 to -5 | Co (cold) | Ic (iceworld) | Habitation is difficult. |
| Chilly | -5 to 5 | Ch (chilly) | TBD | Still marginally habitable. |
| Cool | 5 to 15 | Tu (tundra) | TBD | Still habitable. |
| Normal | 15 to 25 | Tp (temperate) | TBD | Hospitable: Almost every garden world or Terra-prime world possess this climate. |
| Warm | 25 to 40 | Wa (warm) | TBD | Still habitable. |
| Tropical | 40 to 50 | Tr (tropical) | TBD | Still marginally habitable. |
| Hot | 50 to 60 | Ho (hot) | TBD | Habitation is difficult. |
| Very Hot | 60 to 70 | Vh (very hot) | TBD | Habitation is very difficult. |
| Infernal | 70+ | If (infernal) | TBD | Habitation is near impossible without technology.
|
| Variable | Variable | Lk (locked: mainworld)
Tz (twilight Zone: satellite) |
TBD | Habitation is almost always impossible without extensive technology.
