So the article says it's borderline oceanic/humid subtropical but I would also say it could be considered continental by other people's standards. What do you guys think?
Diurnal range is rather low for a continental climate, and spring warm up is slow. September is barely cooler than June. Temperatures are probably rather stable, but the annual range is high for an oceanic climate. Is it really more continental than northern Italy?
Montauk is Oceanic like coastal Japan is Oceanic. In other words, not a very good Oceanic climate (because of its proximity to a large continent with prevailing winds coming from it). However, as much as the high seasonal variation screams "continental" in my head, the article is right in saying it is borderline.
Screw Subtropical, this place ain't no subtropicals.
...but it is borderline Oceanic/Humid Continental. Sable Island leans closer to Oceanic while Newark, NJ leans closer to Humid Continental.
Humid subtropical bordering humid continental. Certainly it's not a typical continental climate.
The place with the most similar average temperatures in northern Italy is Bolzano. Diurnal range is much higher, though.
The inner Po Valley is warmer by about 2-3°C everywhere in winter and 2-3°C in summer, and have less extremes, being mostly in hardiness zone 8b.
