I've told you several times recently, your climate is warm oceanic

What are some other warm Oceanic climates to compare it to?
Warm oceanic because the coolest month is between 6°C and 17.9°C, while cool oceanic climates have the coolest month between 0°C and 5.9°C, which I've also told you several times. And what seperates warm oceanic climates from subtropical climates is the warm season. With subtropical climates having the same winter threshold as warm oceanic climates, but having 4+ months with means 18°C+, while the warm oceanic climates have 0 to 3 months with means 18°C+

I see that you listed several climates that "feel" like my climate, so taking Tristan de Cunha as an example:
- it's record lowest temperature is warmer than my average minimum for 6 months of the year
- it's record highest temperature is less than 1C warmer than my average summer maximum
- it has 250 days of rain a year compared to 100 here,
- an average wind speed of 27kph compared to about 4.5 kph here
- 1000 less sunshine hours
It's almost like you've gone out of your way to find a Cfb climate that "feels" very different to my own climate.
Somewhat similar, as could be expected for various climates within the same Koppen classification, but I don't get the sense that it would feel the same -The average maximums for 7 months, would be colder than record coldest months here, plentiful snow, much hotter/colder, triple the windspeed, half the rainfall/day ratio, a grey season, and nearly 700 hours less sunshine at a lower angle/UV.
It's a year that would never happen here, so I don't really think it would feel the same -you must have better than that?, although I guess your system entails picking though data trying to match the numbers up...... you might not have the time

It's close enough, places don't have to be the exact f+*%$-; same to be in a group in my system, just closer than in Koppen. That's what you're missing, and I think you're doing it on purpose due to being a Koppen apologist
