Rate the (terrible) climate: Mount Read, Tasmania (snow, hot, warm)

[Ethereal]

I believe that this Australia's answer to Whittier, albeit slightly warmer and 'drier'.

An offensive climate for me. I give it an F- (I even rated Vostok Station higher).

E+
Too cold year round

C+

"Winters" are too warm, but it looks like they're capable of producing enormous snow totals (which is good). Mostly boring rain though. Summers are nice and cool, albeit too wet. The (presumable) lack of sunshine is also good.

Overall, it's not awful but not great either. Boring/mediocre

Thats an F. On a par with Macquarie Island. 3.7/0.2/391mm in July is about the worst month I've seen anywhere on Earth. Must be quite high but still cant even get the average low belowfreezing.

D for me. Pure garbage.

Surprisingly mild though, the minimums are milder than towns in my region, which are at the same latitude, but at a much lower altitude.

Too wet as well, although there are wetter towns in my region, which are just about at sea level.

E. Summers too cold and overall far too wet. Mildish winters save it from a complete fail.

F: too rain

[RiegelDerpy]

An "E", only for the moist 30°C days when it's unusually hot there.

F+, that's horrible. It's probably nice when it snows, but there's too much rain to deal with there.

First, they got a high of 30C once in the summer (which was a record). So it isn't common. Second, they probably get dry "heat", which would then suddenly be swayed off by cold, wet southerlies. So not a chance for moist 30C conditions.
