If keeping winter temps the same, that would mean though that late spring and early autumn temps would have to increase as well, in keeping with the normal temperature curve transition from one month to the next.
Of course, decrease summer temperatures by 6c!!!! Thats the most important thing and if i had to chose only one option ill chose that one, and that would GREATLY improve BA weather.
But i would also like to decrease winter temperatures by 6c.
Actually, i would take 6c of each month and climate will be almost perfect.
Sunshine and precipitation (and distribution of both) are ideal in BA, the problem is the warmness. So by decreasing 6c each month, this would be a great climate. (I would go as far as decreasing 10c in summer and winter)
Around 57% sunshine each month, and evenly distributed rain. A MUCH more pleasant climate, isnt it?
But look how STILL it has consistent and decent summers and the winters arent even really cold!!! I substracted 6 celsius from the highs and the lows for each month and the climate still doesnt really have a real winter, and summers are still summers!
I assume 'summer' is June-August and not the 6 warmest months? I would like to add 3C to spring and 3C to autumn temperatures. Well, I could take 3C to the summer months as well.
But seriously, improving April-May and September-October would be my first preference.
So I did it. Added 3C to those months, and March and November by 1C. The warmup and cooldown is quite rapid still, but gives me 5 months of summerlike weather, and 2 cooler, but ok enough shoulder months.
A decrease of 6C in the winter wouldn't be enough.
Here it is though. 6C subtracted from the winter months, 3C from March and November, plus 300 extra sunshine hours (sunshine hours are okay as they are though, but not perfect).

We've done a thread about how people would like to improve their climate but I don't think we ever did a poll.
Cool questions but multiple answers would have been cool. I would of chose decrease winter temps and decrease yearly sunshine.
