B for me, could do with more seasonality and higher winter rain but otherwise it's good.
At the 1mm mark I think the rainy days are only at a 100 or so, likely fewer over the past decade, so it's not too bad.
It's exactly 100.0. At the standard 0.2mm mark it's 150.6, which represents the climate much better due to the abundance of drizzle in the late autumn and winter. However, this is using the old regional office data (which closed January this year), and it will be interesting to see the data from the Olympic Park once they have enough of it to make a climate table.
I'm not sure of the 0.2mm mark's credibility as an indicator of ranfall/drizzle amount though - it could quite literally rain for ten mins. every day in a month, reach 0.2 or 0.3mm and one could assume there was perpetual drizzle, which wouldn't have been the case obviously.

I expect summer nights to average 16°C in the new data.
I don't think there's ever been an occasion where it has rained on every day of the month down here - but I get your point. It'd actually make Melbourne look more attractive climate-wise as using the 1mm mark chops off 50 days of rain!
I still prefer using this method though, since we get 1/3 of our totals under 1mm. Also, if there was perpetual drizzle, it would accumulate more than 0.2mm in a day. In April last year, we had 4 straight days of drizzle/light rain and each day there was around 10mm of rain.

That's true, but if someone were to just take a glance at say, the monthly rainy days, that's something they might assume.
I heard from a friend who visited southern England a few years back that he'd experienced the lightest, featheriest drizzle imaginable whilst he was there - you could hardly feel it and you became wet unbearably slowly!

That's very heavy for drizzle!
Here's an example of what drizzle can be like here, several hours of the stuff at a time but only really amounting to about 1-2 mm a day.
Not sure if the weather station is just being a bit sensitive and recording dew or mist as rainfall, but another day the same month (19th) had about eight hours of drizzle or light rain to get all the way up to trace rainfall!

From memory, it was mostly drizzle/light rain with a few bursts of heavier rainfall. Probably not the best example but the only one I could clearly remember, as a thick drizzle accompanied me throughout the week walking to bus/train/tram stops.
