Increase winter averages here by 6C. That would make Vancouver's climate so much better

Difficult choice. I would love colder winters, but decreasing the average summer temperature here would be a drastic improvement...perhaps enough to make this an A climate.

I know everyone is going to think i'm crazy but I want to add 8 inches of rain atop of an already 62 inches of rain in Miami and have it all fall during our 5 months rainy season that way I can keep my nice and sunny dry season with pleasant temps and have an even stormier rainy season everything else about my climate is perfect

I am comfortable with things the way they are, however, South Dakota and the surrounding high plains have a long history of drought, so I picked more percipitation.

uh

Add another 8 inches of rain. I'm mostly happy with the climate here and all the other changes would be negatives. It's easy to go 8 inches over the average here (58 inches) with sunshine remaining average - just an extra couple of heavy rain events.

Decrease average summer temperatures by 11f

(x2, please. I'd like Phoenix a lot better if the summer averages were 22F lower all around )

Increase average summer temperatures by 6 degrees so the mean max is 25°C in summer. I would keep our crappy winters to have the better summers.

Generally I want the whole year to be a bit warmer but 6C is too much for any season so I pick the 400 extra sunshine hours. 2000 sunshine hours would be a major improvement!

An easy choice for me - add 200mm more rain. I am pretty happy with temperatures and sunshine as it is.

Drop the average winter temperatures 6C / 11F. That makes the January average 2C / -9C (35F / 15F) instead of 8C / -3C (46F / 26F). With our precipitation of about 5" in January we'd get a ton of snow in winter.
