Ah, I see. It's just that I thought you liked "brutally" cold winters and such.

My two A climates are Tropical Desert and Hot Summer Mediterranean

Subtropical Desert like I'm in now gets a B+

Warm Summer Mediterranean gets a B-

Regular Tropical climates get a C

Humid Subtropical (hardiness zone 9 or higher) gets a D

Oceanic Climates get a D from me as well

And Humid Subtropical (zone 8 or lower) as well as all Continental, Subpolar and Polar climates all get F's from me
