A. almost perfect. Maybe just a slightly bigger range in winter max/min temps, but otherwise nothing that needs to be changed.

Winter could be warmer, but summer and the overall precipitation are good.

Wow, an impressive amount of work there. Almost sorry to say that I hate the climate. Solid F for overly warm summers and a complete lack of winter.

Solid B, climate-wise.
Damn, that's impressive, with all the named towns and all. Especially for something done in Paint.
I bet just by looking at those maps, could be detailed enough to convince a not so geography-savvy person it exists somewhere in the world.

I rate Byron an A. The only thing I would change is slightly cooler winters, everything else is nice.

^^ Lol - like I wrote above, at first glance I saw it was called 'New' something, saw the coastline, mountainous topography, a few British-sounding placenames and for a second thought it was a region somewhere in NZ with the rest of the country cut off
I never made up my own fictional country, except for once as a school project but one thing I did used to like doing as a kid was drawing maps entirely from memory, including the locations of cities, lat/longitude lines etc (I suspect just as accurately then as I could do now, or even more so) - anyone else on here who used to do this?

Yep, me too. I used to correct the geography teacher sometimes at primary school, then I stopped. It looks like there are some geography freaks around here. Not too surprising for a weather subforum. 
Btw that's an incredible amount of work. I'm almost ashamed I gave Byron's climate a D.

Yes, very frequently, used to draw world maps and even make globes out of paper.

Yea, I did, too. Though I didn't pay attention to lat and longitude lines.
