Southford City is located at 60S with an elevation of 79m above sea level. Due to the mountains to the north, Southford City receives half the precipitation versus that of cities to the north. This city is one of the sunniest areas of the alien planet it lies on, with a annual sunshine average of 4,064.2 hours, surpassing even that of Phoenix, AZ (3,876.1 hours). Despite the desert-like sunshine and precipitation, this frigid area is very cold, and sees temps below -40C 27 nights per year. Sometimes extreme cold snaps well below that, at -55C or colder about once a year.

How would you rate this extremely cold but sunny climate? I would rate it a E+, liveable but rather horrible of a climate, winters are brutal and summers rather miserable...

B-, bordering on a C. Not a bad climate. Make winters a little warmer, bump the sun hours down by about 1000, and make it wetter and it would be an A!

D-. Every month is too cold, and it's too dry and sunny. But I do like the temperatures worth writing home about in the winter.

How does it get that much precipitation per month while having that much sunshine?

C, and probably lower. Too cold in the winter.
