Following my "Casual Midwinter Day" thread, I have simulated a few spring days relative to different climates. Which one would you prefer most as a casual "average" April (or October if in the Southern Hemisphere) day? I look forward to your answers! Please note that the associations with cities are just indicative of what places could encounter these types of days on a regular basis in their middle month of spring. The voting should not be about them, but purely about which type of day stated below you would prefer on an average day in the middle-Spring month of your ideal climate.

Option A - "Nur-Sultan-style" Extreme Continental
07:00 - Sunny, 0°C
14:00 - Sunny, 11°C
21:00 - Partly cloudy, 6°C

Option B - "Montréal-style" Continental
07:00 - Light rain, 1°C
14:00 - Heavy rain, 9°C
21:00 - Heavy rain, 7°C
04:00 - Mostly cloudy, 3°C

Option C - "Paris-style" Oceanic
07:00 - Light rain, 7°C
14:00 - Partly cloudy, 15°C
21:00 - Light rain, 11°C
04:00 - Mostly cloudy, 8°C

Option D - "Roman-style" Mediterranean
07:00 - Mostly sunny, 11°C
14:00 - Sunny, 22°C

D is the best of this lot, though I think I'd prefer partly cloudy over sunny.

C or D - for temperatures, but I also prefer a partly cloudy day. Light rain later in the evening is fine. I like cooler nights (C).

I don't think a random day in an oceanic climate is always that cloudy. If anything it would probably go from sun to clouds and vice-versa. I've been in Paris in April and that's how it was.

That's not the point of the thread. I have designed spring days and then associated them to climates in which they could be frequent, but as I specified on the thread, it is not relevant in which cities or climates they are encountered. The point is to choose the day that you would best like in the middle month of spring, and I thus created a variety of conditions in which the associations to cities are just indicative. Anyways, Paris is not a particularly sunny destination and option D is actually quite accurate in depicting a typical spring day (it even gets partly cloudy so I don't see the problem): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris#Climate

Well none of the examples fit me to be honest, but Paris can be sunny in all seasons (and cloudy in all as well). Yeah, I would say it is mostly partly cloudy most of the spring.

Anyway you chose Paris in April and Rome in May
