I give it a C; the winters are very cold, and it's very wet year round. However the summer is nice and even the winters remain sunny.

Very similar to where I live now. I give it a B. Only qualms are the sunshine totals.

C(-). Winters too cold for the rainfall, and more sun needed as well to offset that.

D- barely receives a passing grade from me mainly due to the pleasant summers.

I would give it a B, could be colder during the winter. Nice summers are a big plus.

B. Very well rounded. Something for everybody. A relatively mild version of a 4 season climate.

Really? This climate is very close to NYC and NYC has more sunshine than anywhere in NZ. And most of the rain during the warmer half of the year comes in during thunderstorms which don't last very long.

D+
Summers are quite good temp-wise, but a little too cloudy Winter are way too cold for my humble preferences. What's the latitude? Around 40-45° ?

I give it a D+, it reminds me of a slightly cooler version of NYC, almost like a NYC and Boston hybrid climate.

My main gripes are:

Every season is too cool, Summer is almost there but it falls short, Winter is just not nice at all.

The sunshine percentages seem somewhat low (although just because it isn't "sunny" doesn't mean it's not partly cloudy).

Overall the average lows are a bit far than the average highs, a few degrees warmer wouldn't hurt.
