Tichenor is a soaking-wet city to say the least, with 239 inches of rain per year on average. (1983's total was 413 inches, the highest on record). There are less than 700 hours of sunshine each year, with only 15% of the potential being reached.
Winter temperatures are in the high 30s to mid 50s almost always, with cold snaps or heat waves being rare. It rains nearly every day, and the skies stay gray from September to April.
Summer sees a bit more sun and temperatures from 50 to 75 at almost all times; heat waves are rare and typically stay below 85. (Some years never see a day in the 80s at all). The rain slackens a bit and there are some partly cloudy days to break up the pall of gray, although full sun is rare.
This one is one for only the most hardcore rain lovers. A Csb Koppen in the extreme.
Reminds me of my own rainy climates. I give this one a C. The winters are pretty pathetic but they aren't very warm, and the summers are pretty nice (50-75F is a great temperature range). It all balances out to deliver a middle-of-the-road C-grade climate. I like the fact that the rain slackens some in summertime, and the sunshine is rather low but I wouldn't mind it.
By the way, the Koeppen type for this climate is Cfb, not Csb . Csb requires less than 30 mm in at least one summer month and Tichenor has 210 mm in its driest month. I'm pretty sure Cfb is what you meant.

It has a distinct "dry" season. Perhaps the OP assumed any climate that had a summer much drier than winter gets a "s" designation.
But obviously, any place with summers this wet are will lack the weather / vegetation effects of a real Csb climate.
