Seems that many of the new climate rating and battle threads are getting closed so let's try a new angle on rating and battling climates.
On a scale of 1-10, how important are the following factors to you peronsally when rating or choosing a climate in a climate battle? Everyone's preferences are different, of course, so give a rating for your own preference (for instance, deneb and Shalop both would put a 9 or 10 for answer B but for totally opposite reasons).
A) Average temperature range that you like in summer
B) Average temperature range that you like in winter
C) Amount of seasonality in temperatures you prefer
D) Seasonal patterns in rainfall
E) Sunshine hours
F) Amount of average annual rainfall that you like
G) Style of precipitation you prefer (light drizzly rain vs heavy thunderstorm, etc)
H) Amount of average annual snowfall that you like
I) Standard deviation in temperatures in summer
J) Standard deviation in temperatures in winter
K) Hazard factor (tornadoes, hurricanes, ice storms, etc).
L) Comfort factor for YOU to be outside for prolonged periods of time and to minimize use of heat/AC.
M) Your favorite recreational activities that depend on weather: swimming, skiing, hiking, etc.
N) Optional: add another factor that I haven't thought of and rank it.
