Rate the Climate: Medicine Hat, AB, Canada

[CairoCanadian]

I'd love it if someone could calculate the last three decades of averages for Osoyoos; I'd be curious if it edged up to 30 yet for summer average highs.

As for Medicine Hat, D+ for sun and warmer summers than it had!

B. Too dry. Winters are too unstable (look at record highs), while winter lows are cooler than ideal. Summer (at least, its highs) are hotter than ideal. And its too sunny especially in summer.

[ksolina]

It's too dry, too sunny in summer, the highs in summer are a bit too warm and the lows are too cold in winter. B-

C+/B-. If only it had a reversed precipitation pattern I could give it a much better grade, as in A territory. I'll go with the B in the poll.

[Caleb Yeung]

I rate it a B. Too dry and winters are too unstable.

I don't particularly like most Canadian climates.. On the west coast you have Vancouver which is a slightly cooler version of London here, and the other climates tend to get warm summers, but they cool down too much.. 11C as a low in summer is too cool for me! I also detest cold winters.. I don't mind cold winters that are snowy, but when it starts getting to average lows below -5C then that is already too cold for me! A big plus for me though, are the sunshine hours.

Overall i'd give this climate a D, because summer days would at least be nice

E. This option was missed out, why?

[Ethereal]

D+ for the nice dry and warm summers.

Its winters are just terrible.

[Adi from the Brunswicks]

I give it a C+.

Winters are too cool, but summers are absolutely fabulous. Exactly the way I want a summer to be.

Ideally, I like (in F):

Winter: 37/21
Spring: 68/49
Summer: 81/57
Fall: 60/42
