Rate the Fake Climate: EXTREME-O-WORLD (snowfall, hot, warm, recorded)

[cjg5]

Averages mean NOTHING. Any time of the year can be hot as hell, or freezing your ass off cold. One day could be -50 with the next +105! I will post averages just for the sake of it, but what you should really be paying attention to are the record temperatures! (Precipitation patterns go from wet to dry season, the only real normalcy to this climate).

month = avg hi / avg lo // rec hi / rec lo // avg precip

jan = 33 / 21 // 101 / -69 // 12.53
feb = 35 / 23 // 103 / -65 // 10.12
mar = 38 / 25 // 108 / -63 // 8.65
apr = 42 / 28 // 115 / -58 // 6.07
may = 46 / 33 // 123 / -55 // 5.01
jun = 50 / 38 // 125 / -50 // 3.02
jul = 53 / 43 // 128 / -47 // 1.59
aug = 53 / 43 // 128 / -47 // 1.43
sep = 47 / 37 // 124 / -53 // 1.88
oct = 40 / 30 // 114 / -56 // 3.94
nov = 34 / 25 // 105 / -65 // 9.69
dec = 32 / 20 // 100 / -70 // 11.96

Lowest HIGH temperature ever recorded = -62
Highest LOW temperature ever recorded = 114

Highest precipitation amount for one month = 102.36 inches
Lowest precipitation amount for one month = 0.00 inches

Most snowfall in a single 24 hour period = 64.3 inches

Sunshine totals can range from an all time low of 876 hours per year, to an all time high of 4038 hours per year.

With wild temperature fluctuations at any time of the year possible however, would this even be considered at inhabitable? All food would have to be imported, and I'm sure you'd be paying several pretty pennies to run heaters and air conditioners year round!

Anyway, rate away! I predict a record number of F votes. I'll start with my own F grade! lol!

[dunno what to put here]

Freaky.. I give it a B as the averages itself aren't bad even if is prone to those horrid heatwaves

F...

lol

I'll give this a C. The winters are way too warm for my taste (especially those 100+ record highs -- I have a distaste for even 55 Fahrenheit in winter), but with that much variation, there would be good (cold/snowy) and even very cold periods for a good portion of the year. The summer averages aren't too bad, but the record highs are horrible, and the record lows as well (although -47 F would be easier on me than 128 F). The summer extremes might be neat, something like a Denver spring taken up a few notches. I also like the summer drying trend .

It's not a place I would like to live, but it's still not too bad. You could do much worse (USA Gulf Coast and the Tropics for instance).

I enjoy weather variety, but this would be too much.

F - terrible! Dallol and Vostok in one.

omg this climate is insane! lol!!!

i hate it of course, but the good side is that its 100 f one day (like here today) and next today could be -10.....those -10 will feel gooooooooooood!!

if that climate was even possible, i think people will be sick all day, this abrupt change of weather really ruins your health!!!

so, i have to say F, but i dont deny it would be fun!!

I too think it would be a fun climate to VISIT, but not live in!

Could you imagine though? A day or two of say, 80 or 90 degree weather, followed by another day or two of -20 or -30 degree weather?

I wonder how high diurnal ranges for a single day could reach. What if you were to wake up to a temperature of -34 degrees, and have it be 106 by mid afternoon?

Although I don't imagine them in this climate happening very often like that, perhaps there is a possibility for such wild ranges in a single day to occur a few times per year.

Hmmmmm, perhaps a highly unusual stretch of such days could read like this:

day 1: lo -50 hi 97
day 2: lo -35 hi 86
day 3: lo -41 hi 102
day 4: lo 12 hi 75
day 5: lo -1 hi 120

How bizarre would that be to experience!
