I give it a B. Too much rainfall and too cold at night. Add 5C to all the mins and halve the rainfall and it would be an A.

B+. The maximums are near optimal for me. Loses points for it's sunshine (while good personally prefer high totals) and coolish minimums. All in all would be a nice climate to live in

Perpetual summer. Yuck. I do like how it doesn't get overly hot though, unlike most perpetual summer climates I've seen. I'm giving this one a D, despite its lack of a winter.

This is VERY interesting? How does October average higher than the months on either side of it, especially since it isn't even the hottest time of the year? So strange!

This BBC version looks a bit different. It would be nice to get an authoritative one from somewhere.

October minor peak probably due to latency in warming up following transit of overhead sun in September. Drop-off in November presumably from increased cloudiness and rainfall.

Thanks! The temperatures and particularly the sunshine have a distinct southern hemisphere profile.

B-

Rather beautiful and comfortable. The lows are pleasantly cool, very good to sleep through (a temp higher than 14C is kinda warm for sleeping especially if humid).

If it weren't for the excessively wet April & May and rather cloudy July and August it would've been an A climate...

C. Mild, but boring.

D: too hot, too dry, too sunny, but not extreme.
