My climate is sunny all year with lots of summer thunderstorms and winter snow. It never gets too hot and is delightful in summer. I give it an A*.

It would seem impossible to get such a strong seasonal lag for September for such a continental climate. Also, how can summers be so rainy and sunny at the same time?

It'd be an E if this climate had existed in real life. Summers are really bad and winters too cold. Sunshine is fine, although I'd prefer a few hundred hours less, but not getting any days above 24.4°C ever is ridiculously cold!

Summers are rainy and sunny because the rain is from t-storms and there is 16 hours of daylight per day in summer.

F+; cold bloody desert winters, tremendously suicidal "summers"

Also, FAR too sunny year-round. No thank you

The "+" owes chiefly to summer thunderstorms and some snowfall, mind you. Without those, it would be F–

Although I must say...this looks like a splendid climate for leaping off a mountainside to my doom!

This climate is unrealistic. Having 16 hours of daylight in summer would basically mean almost 100% sunshine in winter, which is very difficult due to the snow. ~80% sunshine during summer is also pretty unrealistic even if the rain comes from thunderstorms. Try to find a non-tropical and non-subtropical real-life climate with ~80% of sunshine and ~110 mm of rain in a month. And then there's the lack of temperatures above 24.4 C. A 3.2 C difference between record high and average high for July is not possible for temperate climates.

If this climate actually occurs by some magical effects, it is an F. Worse than Quebec City with anemic summers and brutal winters. Sunshine that high is just boring.

The summers look very nice with mild temperatures and I definitely like the snowy, cold winters. I really like the gradual warm up in spring and relatively long fall

Okay so the bad news is that I hate the low rainfall, high sun hours and low humidity

Each to their own but this is a pretty decent climate other than being dry and sunny.

I'll give it a C.

Polar winters, polar summers. Automatic F.

Sunshine is good and just about acceptable. Isn’t it funny that you like a summer with 400 hours of sunshine yet you think Aberdeen summers are just as good

Not polar summers, they are delightful. Aberdeen summers are not as good as in my climate.

I’m my opinion they are polar. Very cool and a lack of heat. I couldn’t comfortably wear short sleeves all the time and it is boring and mundane and would drive me insane.

Those "summers" are very much polar

24.4° C record high from 21.2° C average high?!
