A subtropical highland climate and at 1500 metres, reminds me a little of Kigali, Rwanda (which has 2 wet seasons).
Slightly warmer than ideal yearly means, (prefer Quetzaltenango over this), but still a good climate.
Record high is only 31C, and minimums are consistently moderate -these are very strong points.
There is an intense wet season, but also a dry season from Nov-March virtually no rain - so it may not fit the definition of an oceanic climate - which has been hotly debated here.
Prefer slightly more seasonal variation and some sort of a winter, so it gets a B- from me.
A bordering on A+ ... great temperatures, nice wet-dry seasons. Could have a bit more seasonality but really, I'd be lucky to live in a climate like this.

D+. Temperatures are never that uncomfortable but are too warm all year round for my liking. Whilst not as monotonous as some other tropical highland climates it's still pretty boring.
Not intolerably warm, but very boring. Sunshine is good and the wet/dry seasons are interesting. Plenty of good rain months, but then ample time to enjoy some dry weather.
These temps are more my cup of tea for a place with no seasons in the traditional sense.
There is a major discrepancy with the 400mm of rain in August in Wiki.
A-. The main problem is the strong wet-dry contrast. Would prefer more even (though still summer-heavy) distribution of rainfall and more sunshine. Otherwise fantastic.
