D. Way too hot in the summer, and a lot more sun than I would like. If it weren't for the cool winters I would have given it an F.

I give it an A-, only because of the average wind speeds. Don't like really windy days.

Gave it a B. I've never been to Boise unfortunately, but I've been told, and the graph shows, that their winters can run on the gloomy side. I like a crisp, cool, but sunny winter.

But I love the somewhat mild temps and relatively mild winter as far as precipitation.

I was surprised at the humidity graph. I though Boise was more arid but maybe I'm wrong.

Sunnier there in winter (and year round, at that!) than here in Seattle! I really like those cold, clear days too. The best winter days here in Seattle are the ones with temperatures below freezing with the clearest, bluest skies you've ever seen. I love them! Especially if there is snow on the ground as well!

B. 64% of possible sun would be less than that quoted, more like 2825 (and that's not allowing for any horizon restrictions).

C

A meh sort of climate. Too dry for the most part. Summers are too hot and sunny. The other seasons are okay.

not quite "F" but not quite "D" either... D- or E due to cold winters.

Looking at it again, I'm thinking I should have given it a C. The summers are way too warm, but the humidity is low then and it's really only June, July, and August. September is a little warmer than I'd prefer, but bearable. Still sunnier than I'd like, but I think I was a little too harsh with my original rating. If someone else is considering rating a D, just give it a C instead and we'll pretend to swap.
