Frühlingsdorf features intense, short winters and warm, stormy summers separated by long shoulder seasons featuring a lots of stable and comfortable weather. The frost-free period extends over 9 months in a typical year.

The record highs for December and January seem extremely unlikely (way too low) given the average highs for November and February. Anyway D- from me too rainy.

It's OK, I prefer a more conventional 4 season pattern though. C+

Edit: On further reflection C+ is too harsh, I would change my vote to a B if I could.

B, like it quite a bit. Might be an A if Jul & Aug were cooler.

Not bad at all buddy. This is really a type of continental climate I could somehow enjoy. I love snow but not for long periods (especially that it implies freezing weather) and hate periods with highs between 0°C and 10°C, yet your creation manages to escape both of those issues. I'd have appreciated more sun from Oct to Jan/Feb though but 2478 is a really nice yearly total.

C+ (probably the highest rating I've ever given to a climate with subfreezing winters)

That somehow makes me think about my gf's dream climate: "11 months of Nice summer; 1 month of Canadian winter"

Sorry but its an E if the summer record high was 38c it would of been a c. Also the dramatic change from winter to summer is weird.

Winters are too cold and Frühling is too long (hence summers too short). Otherwise really good, especially the precipitation pattern.
C

Yeah, the name says it all. The spring just seem endless. Somehow I like it, but on the other hand don't.

If the seasons were more gradual, it could be an A, but now only a strong C.

What would the pattern be when turning from winter to spring?

Jan 30: -1
Jan 31: +1
Feb 1: +3
Feb 2: +6
Feb 3: +9
Feb 4: +12
Feb 5: +13
Feb 6-Apr 2: +16

I'm the same, it it had "normal" seasons it would get an A. As it is now, it's only a C. I'd like summer and winter to last longer.

The transition would probably be a little bit less linear, like:
Jan 30: 0
Jan 31: +1
Feb 1: -1
Feb 2: -2
Feb 3: +5
Feb 4: +8
Feb 5: +16
Feb 6: +14
Feb 7: +13
Feb 8: +17


After that it wouldn't be stuck on +16 every day, there would be some gentle variation, depending on weather fronts, like:

Mar 29: +18
Mar 30: +21
Apr 1: +22
Apr: 2: +17
Apr 3: +16
Apr 4: +18

But now that you've made me think of it, the average february high would be a bit cooler and March would be a bit warmer, because right now the temp curve looks weird.

Yes, they're indeed extremely unlikely. It's a purposely improbable climate. A climate than averages -3/-11°C in January has to be totally unrealistic to recieve such high grades from nei and dhdh.
