Rate the Climate: Six Mountain City

C -too continental, and summers start and end too dramatically - not much window of pleasant shoulder season weather here - as well as the whole of autumn being just about rained out.

I give this one a C. The winters would ordinarily net it a B- grade, but the stinking-hot summers take it down one notch. The summers are just too hot, and the winters are too warm. 41F in December is lousy. The snowfall total isn't even that high, either, so this is a pretty lackluster climate.

Thank you for making me realize the shortness of spring.

I've taken a second look and realize that I made June too hot without realizing it, thanks to my summer prejudice grrrrrr

The original vision I had for what I find to be a very unique climate, was a March high of 2C (36F) and a high in July of 31C (88F) making it so that the spring warms up faster than the fall cools down due to the continental influence. I had no reason to inflate the temperatures in the months in between. In response to this I've made some changes in the first half of the year and now have spring a bit cooler while the "Phoenix like conditions" don't arrive until later in June. I've also dropped several lows.

B. Except for March to June, I'd enjoy this climate.
