I give it a "D", the thing that keeps it from getting an "F" is the complete lack of 90's. But way too much sun, lows are too high year round, and of course the humidity level is too high year-round.

Fantastic! I give it an A. Only problem is the dry season and a bit too much rain Jan - Mar.

Looks like it could be a highland Hawaiian climate. Also quite similar to Norfolk Island except for the dry season.

Glad someone else is a fan of it.

The summers could definitely be warmer. I was going for a very moderate climate with all months' means being between 18C and 22C.

18C is the lower limit for tropical climates and 22C is the lower limit for a climate to qualify as having 'hot summers' (Cfa for example) under the Köppen classification.

In such a climate I'd like the hottest month to be 85/70, more or less.

Anyways, yeah this does resemble parts of Hawaii. Garden City is definitely on an island.

mmmh, i would say i could like those temperatures in some contexts but this climate is not only boring (all year the same) but super humid (like someone say it probably feels sticky). But the worst thing by far are the lows....its weird that a climate that have such comfortable summer highs, haves such uncomfortable summer lows!! Let me tell you that a 19 average low can feel pretty hot....BA average low for january is 21 and let me tell you most nights are above 26 celsius, and some nights above 30c, cause the lows always ocurr very early in the morning. If this climate is also like this, you will have to expect a lot of 25-27 celsius night, and if you dont have A/C, that is pretty damn uncomfortable...plus, that humidity will make it feel pretty sticky!!! But the weird thing is that the average highs dont even reach those temps, so probably if the daytime high is....23 celsius, nightime temp will be the same?? thats kinda weird, or probably the highs always ocurr at nightime in this climate? i HATE that, i always hate places with warm night. I could tolerate the heat a millon times better if it wasnt for the super hot nights we have to endure all sumer. Actually, the WORST part of the heat for me is the night high temperatures and the high lows, cause it gives the feeling that it NEVER cools of! I will much rather spend the summer in a 14/40celsius average high and lows (if that could exist), that in horrid, super sticky, 21/31c, BA. And thats mainly for the lows. Lows make the biggest difference between a tolerable summer and a hellish one.



This climate haves potential to be a very good one, but two things ruin it completely for me. The LOWS (way higher that i would like in all months) and the humidity. This factors would make this climate sticky and uncomfortable, imo.

So its a D.

Temperatures very comfortable. Dry season excessive but does make things more interesting.

I'll be generous and give it an A-.
These would be my comments as well. Don't like this precipitation pattern.

I agree with your comfort assessment. You hit the nail on the head.

I'd imagine it'd be near the daily mean around nighttime in July. So, 22°C.

I fail to see the problem with warm nights; it never gets hot in the dayttime so there's no need for cooldown. Similar weather in my experience generally results in rather comfortable indoor temperatures as well as outdoor temperatures the whole day long.
