A friend of mine says it is subtropical, and I classify it as temperate one.
What do you think?

It does seem to be on the line between Oceanic and Subtropical. Summer temperature wise it's more Oceanic but sunshine wise it seems to be on the high end for oceanic, thought I'm not sure if sunshine hours figures in the definition of Oceanic climates. I actually find the climate fairly desirable but find the lows all year too low.

No information about all - time low. Strange.

Warm temperate oceanic. Summers have temperatures akin to Paris, but winters are much warmer than the common oceanic winters (which are 8/2 C or so).

Yep sunshine hours are higher than in most Oceanic places in Europe, but it's about the same as Melbourne for instance, which is considered to have an Oceanic climate. Also cooler than Melbourne on average.

It's oceanic- maritime west coast to be specific. A slightly cooler version of my climate, so it's not a subtropical climate. It does seem close to a Mediterranean climate though.

Subtropical and temperate are the same thing, and warm temperate isn't a climate type as such.

Temperate oceanic! Winters are chilly and summers are sufficiently warm. Lots of rain! Sun seems restricted for the area... As a grade I'd give it a C+.

Cfb in my opinion. Summers are too cool for csa/csa and too humid for csb.

Dat dry period is laughable. For some oceanic climates that's the exact average.

Temperate oceanic. Seems like a sunnier, yet rainier version of Seattle.
