Default Rate the Climate: New Sahel (fictional)

As you can see, this climate is very very hot with a respectable dry season and a long drenching wet season. Thunderstorms are common in all of the wet months, with February seeing the most rain. The dry months have frequent sandstorms coming from a more arid area.


The yearly humidity isn't 72 by the way. It's an F for me. Not a minus because of the nice wet season with low sunshine hours.

What sucks is that no month is good despite most months having something good about them.

If I could have the temps of Feb, sun of July and rainfall of June, that would be a truly ideal month

But here, it is either scorching hot, to a point that in October I'd probably wish I was in England instead (despite being a full-fledged heat lover), OR so cloudy that it would make Hong Kong in February look like Yuma.

E. My failing mark is used solely against high-latitude frozen nightmares.

PS Keep those fictional climates coming. I love them

Yikes, F-. BTW, probably impossible to have all that rain yet have temps in the mid 30's C, but that's what this thread is for.

F-, again. Simply horrendous all year round.

I give this an F-. The record low of 72F seals the deal just by itself but all other aspects are also horrific ex-the sunshine.

F - terrible. The real-life Sahel climates are some of my least favorite tropical spots, and this is much worse.

QUIBD

Tmax are the record highs but still impressive to see those temps with all that rain.

Andagoya, another place in Colombia supposedly sees comparable rainfall with average highs around 32C. Who knows if the data is correct though. I can't find it on the colombian site.

This is not an F, it's a G, for god-awful. There's not a month in which I would even want to visit. Even the lows would be too hot as highs.
