Pretty dreadful. I like winter weather, but not for 7 months of the year, and May is far too cold as well. I'd give it an E if that were an option.

sorry, but the wikipedia-stats are pretty incorrect. At least October is far too cold. Beside the fact that those averages are obviously taken from the old period 1961-1990, October has definetely never been much colder than -1°C there, which makes the wikipedia-data 5 degrees too cold...

Here is a chart of the real averages I calculated myself (period is 2002-2013):



I rate it A- ... temperatures are pretty perfect year-round with summers being being also ideal regarding precipitation. The only really negative point is that winters are still way too dry.

D for me. Too cold for too long,and summere seems to be over before it starts.

I'm rating this a B+, could be maybe a few degrees warmer in midsummer, but otherwise its good.

E. Far too cold.
