I'm trying to make sense of Candle's response ,
Amherstburg's coldest month has a mean temperature warmer than -3c
but even using Koppen's -3c minimum threshold, Candle would still considerate it Dfa (why because it's in Canada?)
Amherstburg,ON's 10c average annual temperature is interesting too.
I always thought in Canada only BC had places with 10c or more mean annual temps. Weather station at Vancouver harbour has an annual temperature of 11.1c, Powell River, BC annual average is near 11c too.
Warmest place (I could find) in January in Canada is Amphitrite Point,BC avg high 8.4c avg /avg low 3.9c
giving it a January mean temp of 6.1c (balmy by Canadian standards) FYI it is located on west coast of Vancouver Island near Tofino/Pacific Rim National Park area.

Yeah, that's a nice find. I notice the source was the Weather Network. I haven't seen that station from Environment Canada so maybe it's not a government station (I also thought if it was, I would have heard of it, since there are well-known stats from Environment Canada on hottest/coldest/wettest/driest/(insert stat) etc. cities and usually Windsor makes the top category in Ontario in the warmth list).

Amherstburg is a relatively small place.. perhaps they overlooked it and just lumped it in with Windsor instead

I'm curious though that it seems the stats are quite different for such a short distance (that little bit of warmth that nudges it into the -3C average in coldest month territory). Windsor is still closer -4.5C, if I'm reading the stats right.
Hmm... I'm thinking maybe it was a new station (ie. doesn't have the 30 years of data that is used as convention).
If it took off relatively recently so that it contained mainly stats from the past decade (which was full of some warm years), that might explain why the numbers are so high for winter.

Wait, no the source does say it covers 30 years.
"The sampling period for this data covers 30 years."
Yeah its really weird but you could technically classify it as subtropical
