I'll give Portsmouth a C-. The climate is definitely a significant jump from Vancouver and hence the higher grade than here.

Misses out on being a Csb climate by 3mm.

B-.
Portsmouth's climate is good, even it's a urban weather station. I think it may be the warmest in the world for 50°N, together with the Isles of Scilly.
Winters are mild. Spring and autumn are pleasant.
Summers are dry but not warm enough: highs of 22°C in July are very cool to me.
The rainfall is quite low, similar to Rimini. Sunshine is incredibly good for the UK and close to some areas of Northern Italy.

C-

The winters are far too mild, even by UK standards, and the summers aren't all that warm although appear to be quite pleasant.

It's great from April till September but the winters are much too warm, would rate this a C-.

C+ Mild and sunny by UK standards.

Couple of interesting things I noticed, milder winter than Rimini and february is the coldest month,
which usually means a strong martime influence.
