How much temperature variation would you like in your ideal climate throughout the course of a year? (snow, hottest)

[dunno what to put here]

Well the average range in my dream climate between the lowest temperature and highest temperature recorded would be around 50C (-20C / 30C).

I interpreted "temperature variation" to mean differently than some other posters. What'd the OP mean?

In my dream climate:

Record high: 44°C
Record low: 10°C

i.e. a range of 34°C

Average annual maximum: about 41°C
Average annual minimum: about 12°C

i.e. a range of 29°C

Warmest month average: 27.8°C
Coolest month average: 20.2°C

i.e. a range of 7.6°C

-9c Coldest month's low to 25c warmest months high so 34c

I was referring to average temps not extremes.

My desired monthly average low is about 9°C and my high about 23°C which makes my range 14°C.

Oops I didn't put this the way I wanted. I meant to say my coldest month average is about 9°C and my warmest momth average is about 23°C.

30-35C (Tmax = -10C to 22C)

I would like 12/13C of annual range. They would give me the winters I get now and summers 2C warmer - my perfect climate.

Where I live now has a range of 42C (-13.7C average January Low to 28.6C average July high). I don't mind it too much. You can certainly feel the seasons. The only other place I've lived has a range of 41C. So I can't really make an informed decision if I'd like something else better. Everyone else in the USA seems to think the weather is awful here though. At least it's not as bad as Yakutsk, Russia! Their variation is 67C!!!!!!!!
