I got the phrase wrong, it's said to be nine months of winter and three months of hell
or it could be 9 months like you said. A/C's aren't as commonplace in Europe so I can see why the locals call the summer hell. I just checked the forecast for Madrid and oh my, looks no different than TX. This city gets an F for hot summer.
B/B-. One of the best Csa climates out there with on average an existing winter, and at least has summer thunderstorms. Marks off from an A for the rainfall pattern being the opposite from what I prefer and less so for being borderline semi-arid, if using a linear gradient for April thru Sept rainfall distribution.
Comparing 1971-2000 data to 1981-2010 data, summers have gotten quite a bit hotter while winters are pretty much the same. The Precipitation has sunken a bit. It's a B- for me. Madrid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
B+/-
It's one of the better "warm" climates in my mind, if you lowered the highs in the summer about six to eight degrees then it'd be an A in my mind. That being said it's still better than Milan, and it is also vastly superior to places like Perth, Miami, Houston, and other foul climates. I'd take this over a large portion of places around the globe. Perfect sunshine hours and fantastic autumns as well as fantastic winters, the summers a just a little too warm for me. I actually like this more than Sydney and Los Angeles as well...
Great city with a great climate. Hot in summer, but not as blistering as Cordoba/Seville, a continental tint in winter rather than the standard Mediterranean mild wet muck. Definite B, if it got snow a bit more often it would be an A.
