Nerston:
Pos- Reasonable summer, rainfall is nice
Neg- too much snow, not enough sun

C

Promenade:
Pos- excellent summer, great sun, excellent summer lows and record highs, good rainfall.
Neg- winter is a bit too cold, and snow

B+

A-, really like this. Seasons could warm up a bit quicker though.

How did you edit this post 2 months later?

I automatically rate all climates with no at least two average lows below 0°C with Z (I guess that's the worst grade?).

jgtheone, first one is C (C- actually). Winters should be noticeably colder and snowier and summers (especially nights) are just a bit too hot. Sunshine is near perfect. I'd maybe rate it B, but then i saw rain...just too much of it. For the second one, see above.

Wario Toad 32, that looks quite nice, although more snow and colder winters would be better. Plus, a couple more hundreds sunshine hours, maybe. But then again, rain makes me give it a C (would have been solid B if it wasn't so rainy).

Here is my dream (:
Thoughts?

Not enough snow, too much rain. Winter too warm, summers too cool (i prefer bigger temperature amplitudes, i.e. hot summers and cold winters). All in all, not that bad, a C+/B-.

Also, i live in an Cfb, close to Dfb climate (Zagreb, Croatia) and i find it's winters too mild. Summers are good.

P.S.: How do I upload a picture here (don't kill me I'm new here)?

Never mind, I found it out.
Anyway, here's my ideal climate:

Summers are a bit too warm and the snow is far too dry for me, but I'll give it a B

Another fictional climate.

Just "idealized transition" from European Cfb/Dfb climate to Csa climate further south. But still without "drier notch" even at height of summer. Thanks to frequent diurnally driven t-storms/showers which incoming from nearby mountains (or initiated by various convergence zones like sea-land breeze) and occasional penetration of upper troughs embedded in westerlies (jet stream) which are very helpful for another initiation of large t-storm clusters (MCS).

This all is reason why ""mediterranean rainfall pattern" is still largely destroyed. In addition this climate is protected by large mountains and is influenced by dry downslope winds like bora and foehn. These winds are most common in winter and they help to keep sunshine hours relatively high even in the cool season (at least for european standards).

Clasification:
- Cfa (Koppen)
- Do-ak (Trewartha)

Location:
- The City is somewhere in southern Europe, 45° north.

Topography around "The City":
- Large lowland (100 000 - 150 000 square km) between 43° - 47° north.
- The City is somewhere in the middle of northern 1/2 of lowland. Rather closer to the mountains.
- Lowland is located just south and east of large mountain chain (height mostly above 2000, but below 4900 meters a. s. l.).
- Lowland is sheltered from W, NW, N and NE.
- And open to SW, S, SE and E.
- Elevation mostly 100 - 200 m a. s. l., very flat, more rugged topography and higher elevation closer to the mouintains.
- There is sea around lowland to the SW, SE and E. Sea to the E and SE is very shallow and from year to year can produce "sea effect snow" (when winds blowing from the east in winter).
- To the south lowland is connected with landmass (peninsula).

Additional information for "The City":
- 48 days with thunder
- 35 days with thunder + 1 or more mm of precipitation
- 21 days with thunder + 10 or more mm of precipitation
- 68 days with 10 or more mm of precipitation
- 123 days with 0,1 mm or more of precipitation
- 103 days at or above 25 °C
- 38 days at or above 30 °C
- 3 - 4 days at or above 35 °C
- 35 nights with lows at or above 20 °C
- 32 nights with freezing lows
- 3 - 4 days with freezing highs

C: summers are too hot but it's a good climate after all

Now, a pure nightmare!

[vrda99]

Summers are a bit too warm and the snow is far too dry for me, but I'll give it a B

First, glad to see I'm not the only one around here who likes "normal" climates, not those "always-above-20C-types".

Too dry?? I hope you mean too much snow, too little rain. Because if you want to say that 430 inches of snow is not enough than... well it's weird lol. Yes summers are warm, but they are rather short. I'm a big fan of short and intense summers, just look at June and especially September, they are noticeably cooler than July and August. I also don't like fall so I made a fast transition between summer and winter.

Now, a pure nightmare!

Hah, I guess your words describe it very good. F from me (guess that's what you wanted)

Here's my second/third favorite climate (by that I mean climate that is very different from your ideal, but still wouldn't mind living in it):

Too extreme for me. Summer temps and May look good, but waaaaay too snowy and cool in Autumn. Winters are a bit too cold, but not anything I couldn't live with. And way too little rain in all season.
