E- boring, but like the rainfall. I would prefer Miami to this, because they have cooler summers and higher rainfall.

D, not enough variation and summer looks awfully hot and HUMID. Hot and dry is one thing but 100 degrees and humid is miserable. Rainfall totals are adequate though, I like a certain amount of rain. BTW where is Kellus Cove, I can't find it in Google?

The diurnal range is actually quite high in the summer months - implausibly so, IMO, and annually it is around 9C, which is relatively high for this type of climate...I would have expected the higher diurnal range in the "winter" months and lower diurnal range during the "summer" and this is in fact very common for this type of climate in continental South-East Asia (inland Burma, Laos, the higher parts of Thailand (Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai etc...). So what causes this high diurnal range in the "summer"?

Way too hot in summer but at least there's relief. D, December-March saves it from an F.

I meant low diurnal range only in the winter months.

The average diurnal range in summer is higher due relatively few days with rain and rainfall occurring predominately after 4pm. The latitude is definitely not equatorial. Up to 33N or 34N would be plausible but likely between 20N-30N so summers have high maximums.

It could be hotter.

The winters have more rain days and less total precip so the winter rain is much less intense.

A- for me.. the summer has highs a bit too high and the winter season's highs are a bit too low but otherwise a great climate

B-

More sun in winter (and overall) please. January in your climate reminds me of a typical March in Hong Kong.

The rest is fine with me. Late summer has very hot days but nights are 'cool' enough to compensate (i.e. 23°C rather than Delhi's 28°C).

I'd be very happy hear even if the sunshine is not adequate. B+
