Don't think I would change it all. Would love to have warmer winters but summers are just right if not a little high. Don't want a hotter summer. Winters are chilly but really not too bad.
I'm liking these southern US climates dropped by 8-10 degrees.
They remind me the highland climates in the south. A few weeks ago I escaped 98 around Lake Hartwell on the GA/SC border for a nice 80 degrees or so in (fittingly) Highlands, NC. Winters are colder but really aren't that bad. Still comparable or even better to the mid Atlantic and points northward.
If you could adjust the temperature of your city upwards or downwards by the same amount year-round to better fit your idea of a nice climate, how much would you adjust and in which direction? You can't change different seasons or different times of day by different amounts.
Some interesting answers. My first preference is for a relatively sunny four season climate where the Apr-Oct period is mostly in the comfortable mid 60s to mid 80s range and January's average temp is below freezing, and 38"-45" of rain. But, if I'm stuck with a place with too narrow a range for that, I'd rather have a pleasant Medierranean climate with warm springs, summers, and fall, but winters cool enough to break up the monotony. That's why I would adjust Portland's temperatures up 3 degrees. If I lived in London for example, I would adjust temperatures up 8 degrees, which would basically turn it in to Nice, France.
I'm not entirely sure what I would do with Minneapolis though...
For Valparaiso I would make it 10f warmer. That would mean we would be in the 70s essentially all the time
