So, I was wondering, people in Winnipeg don't consider 0 °C (32 °F) to be "very cold", while people in Casablanca probably do. On the other side, people in Indio don't consider 30 °C (86 °F) to be "very hot", while people in Grande Prarie probably do. So, people usually get used to the weather they live in, but usually they either get accustomed to extreme cold or extreme heat, not both. If there was a city of 100,000 inhabitants with this climate, what would its inhabitants think about the weather?
I think the first 0 °C (32 °F) in the spring would feel very warm to them, but that temperature would feel cold in the fall.
Do you think it would be a popular place to visit? If so, would the people who live there get used to all kinds of temperatures? I mean, neither -20 °C (-4 °F) nor 40 °C (104 °F) would shut this city.
I think + 30 in summer highs combined with -30 in winter highs is as extreme as it could get even in a fictional climate (was probably the climate somewhere in Pangea).
However that climate is inhabitable due to its aridity ensuring there is no growing season combined with brutal permafrost not allowing anything to grow. A more humid + 27 summer and -23 winter would be perfectly possible.

The massive incredible landmass must have caused that on more northerly latitudes
I think in general the climate was much more varied and continental on Pangea. Also there must have been long San Francisco-like stretches on the west coast.
