If you HAD to live in a climate where average difference between the warmest and coldest month was about 20F (11C), what would it look like? The difference between the coldest and warmest month MUST be between 18 and 22F (10-12C). HOWEVER, there is no restriction on diurnal range, standard deviation, average monthly max and min, all time records, precipitation patterns, sunshine hours, etc. (but must be somewhat realistic and believable pertaining to the current earth's climate).
You can use a real life climate or crate your own:

Here's mine:
Mine is the same but with only about 25% of the precipitation.
I would just stick with my climate here. It has a 10.4C range, from 7C in the coldest month to 17.4C in the warmest and with a 1.2C minimum in the coldest month and a 24C maximum in the warmest month. Pretty good imo.
Where I live averages 5.5/0.5 in January and 19.1/11.1 in July (the weather station is about a degree colder than where I actually live because it's higher up, but whatever) so a 12.1C mean difference.
Add about five degrees to that year-round and I'd be happy enough, so somewhere in that part of the world would do fine. Where Joe90 lives has a very fine climate too though.
Average high in summer is 26'C. Average low is 20'C. Average maximum per month is about 5-6'C above average high. Average dew point high would be 12'C in summer. Precipitation would be 1000mm distributed evenly through the year on 50 rain days. Sunshine would be about 85% all months of the year.
I'd like winter to be very short though so that average high in January is 16 but above 20'C first day of March and December.
Sure, that low dewpoint in summer with so little diurnal variation and so much rain is a bit unrealistic but whatever. Might be able to get 15'C realistically which is fine. 12'C would be ideal though.
Oregon coast. We run 60-65 degrees (F) most of the time, but will get down to 55 every now and again.
It rains a lot.
