Every city has some kind of weather/climate stereotype. Which month in your city best reflects that stereotype?
For example, many people seem to think that London is always in the 50s and 60s, very wet and windy (it isn't), but the only month that does bear of resemblance to that is November, which is generally cloudy and wet, with daytime highs between 7-18C.
Hmm....
The hot and rainy summer is a defining characteristic of our climate, though most would think of Florida as a perpetually sunny place with comfortable temperatures. I'll say March or April. That's when most of the tourists are here.
I've never worked it out, but I suspect that our most common daily high temperature is about 8-10C because of just how long a period of the year we can realistically get temperatures in that range, which is close enough to our November average high of 8.3C.
When it's warm and sunny or when we have winter weather conditions it always feels like a novelty that you just know won't last long, but 8-10C and grey, damp days have a proper "real life" feel to them.
Generally people thinks May, June and August. 80s weather, most sunny, both dry and humid, tank top, Bermuda shorts, duck dynasty, slushes, tanning folks etc.
Northern US climates get judged based on their coldest month(s), I live in a "cold climate", even though 75-80% of the time it isn't cold. Our winters are snowy, even though most precipitation falls as rain, and any snow that falls generally doesn't stick around.
Vancouver's November which is on average the wettest and one of the gloomiest and depressing months.
