Dry? It's a little on the wet side - 574mm rain, with 111 days of 1mm rain - which is a lot.
Hmm, yeah, what is dry...for Northern European standards it is bone dry.
I think a climate is dry if the evaporation exceeds the precipitation. I don't know if that is the case in Stockton.

Evaporation rate is probably low due to the consistently cool temperatures.

It's certainly not 'a little on the wet side'. I live in an area with around 603mm on average and around 110 days of rain, and I would not describe it as wet, by any stretch of the definition. I wouldn't call 111 days of rain 'a lot', either - it's high compared to the amount of rain that falls, that's all. Things are damp in the winter, but that's mostly because it's so cloudy and the sun angle is so low.

A rough rule of thumb is that the precipitation in mm needs to exceed the mean temperature*2 in °C to outweigh evapotranspiration (40 mm at 20 °C). So Stockton is humid year-round.
My rating is C. Too cool in summer but the dryish mild winters are good.
