Drop the dewpoints all year long. Add some wind and more variability. I think we should lower the appenines and the Alps in order to achieve that and finally get rid of that heavy fog / Pollution.
Temperatures are fine although I wouldn't mind december / january to be slightly colder, like 0c or a bit less.
drop winter temps by 5C to get some snow and raise summer temps by 4C for consistency in summer.
(I know I changed 2 seasons but my climate really needs a fix)
Well, temperature wise northern European climates weakest sides are too cool transitional seasons and thus both of those should be warmer. If to talk about spring the worst imo are here April (before it's last decade) and then comes March. The only spring month which is quite good here is May and it seems that it has a natural tendency of additional warming. As only one season can be selected I'd personally take the spring months.But if we wanted to be in bigger harmony with North America(their springs aren't that warm), we should deal with our autumn months.Precipitation wise I have no problems.
hmmm... If I could I'd change every season in Portsmouth.
