B/B-

Prefer warmer everything, but it's still good. Rain days are good, though I'd prefer something closer to 900mm. Not sure about the wind, these temps would probably be nicer with calmer conditions.

C. Looks quite decent. London's climate with slightly milder winters and more sun.

B

Very nice - comfortable temperatures year-round. Sun is a little higher than ideal and I would prefer more rain, but both figures are acceptable.

Not bad winter at all. Summer temps a little too cool for my liking. SST are too cold also for summer swimming. Overall I'd give it a C- due to poor summers.

I don't get how it's got "four distinct seasons" when winter highs are warmer than summer lows. It barely has any seasons at all. Year round boring comfort with ultra high annoying sunshine yields a C. It escapes a D for not having excessive heat.

That is a very good point, but water temps are not as cold as somewhere like London.
The summers here are mild-warm with lovely cool nights, winters a little coolish and would prefer a faster warm up in spring, the climate to me is somewhere between an B+ and A- due to good sunshine.

Where did that sun tally come from? Can't see it in the BOM entry - unless there is a related one.

B - I like it. Summers ideal with a lot of comfortable weather around for a large part of the year, and although winters seem too benign and mild (though according to Wiki it gets a lot of fog, which for me is a plus) I'd imagine I could get my snow/gales fix on the nearby mountains? Perhaps my favourite Australian location.

The River Thames in London can get to 20-21 degree C in late summer. As warm as the sea around Tasmania.
