Increase yearly sunshine would be top priority although by about 1000 hours as even a 400 hour increase would still be too cloudy.
Next would be increase summer temperatures then decrease winter temperatures. Not bothered about changing rainfall total but would like to see rain days reduced and intensity increased thus eliminating drizzle and light rain.
Decrease winter averages by 11F which would mean SNOW dusting several times each winter. Our January average is now 58/41- bring it to 47/30.
Second choice would be to increase the precipitation by 8 inches- way too dry here- only 15 inches of rain a year now- most of it fallin in winter- add 8 more inches to the summer in the form of thunderstorms.
Both of those things will bring my climate from a C+ to an A.
Increase winter averages by 6C...Houston would be tropical
