Winter is snowy but not very cold. Regularly, it snows during night time. Snowfall can reach up to 4m in whole of the winter but the afternoon mild temperature can melt some of the snow. Polar fronts can reach here for a few times a winter, bringing cold temperature. However, temperature below -10C are rare.
Spring is mild and even warm in Mid June. Snowfall is very rare in spring even in Early April. Spring is also the driest season but it sprinkles in the morning occasionally.
Summer is pretty hot but temperature more than 30C is not common except in Mid August. The hottest month is August due to seasonal lag. Tropical cyclones can strike here for 1-2 times in the summer, bringing huge amount of rainfall during summer.
Autumn is very short and usually lasts for 2 months. Autumn is pretty rainy and the rains eventually change to snows in late November.
Below are some interesting charts I created using stats from the second edition thread.
Great job, very interesting.
Here is my dream climate, Luxania:
Winter is very dry and cloudless with warm days and mild nights. Temperatures are very stable, there are no cold fronts. The coolest days are seen around Christmas with maximum temperatures usually in the lower 20's°C, while the coolest nights are around early February, dipping occasionally to around 12°C. Temperatures above 30°C are rare in December but increasingly common towards late February.
Spring is characterized hot afternoons, the hottest of the year, while nights remain mild. Due to intense solar radiation, brief, intense convective afternoon thunderstorms are a common occurrence. It is the wettest and most unstable period in the year.
Summer is very warm, humid and breezy with cooler afternoon temperatures than in spring but warm, sultry nights. Intense showers do occur from time to time, especially at night, but sunny conditions vastly predominate.
Fall starts hot and stormy, just like spring, with a peak of afternoon warmth in October, then gradually transitions into winter with cooler, drier and sunnier conditions towards November.
If Luxania had mountains high enough it could have some really sunny but cool climates up there... maybe ones that even Patricius Maximus would approve of.
Perfecton's very nice! I'd prefer warmer summer afternoons though.
Here's mine (posted it already):
Going by the 2012-2018 averages, the average yearly high is 41.7°C/107.1°F and the average yearly low is -27.0°C/-16.6°F. A normal summer would alternate between dry and humid heat, with some cool periods inbetween after a massive stormy front has passed by.
Finally a Continental climate that I could put up with... in theroy
My dream climates are generally subtropical with mean temps in the upper 60's and warm summers. I prefer summer rainfall for the convective aspect and also to break the monotony of endless sunny days.
your summer lows are too cold.
