Your scale is unintuitive and should be flipped – more red = hotter (intuitively), you have red for precip. More precip should be more blue, because water is blue.

Colors represent **temperature (x-axis)** vs **precipitation (y-axis)** (quantile-based 3×3 bivariate scale). also here is another version of same plot , upvote this if you prefer this version.
