The average rating for all climate types is F. This is because I only give out A's and F, and to get an A, the climate needs to have 250h of sunshine in every month, with record highs below 28'C and record lows above 18'C. Otherwise it's frankly not livable to me.

I largely agree with the substance of this! Just some slight modifications for different "scaling" (I rate most tropical climates Ds to distinguish them from truly horrific F's, and don't use E so much [guess E= D--])
