A desert can be humid as well, all it does is to decrese the rainfall threshold for it to look arid. Arica for example is quite a humid climate in spite of no rainfall. This occurs near coastlines only.

As for Junter's grade for Madeira I'm quite stunned since it's pretty close to his ideal temperature pattern

It's ok. I would like lower humidity levels in summer, especially for a Mediterranean climate. Also I would like it if sunshine levels were higher.

I'll give it a C

E+. Rainy winters, very few thunderstorms, no snow, very stable, very mild, warm winters, mild summer days, hot summer nights. At least it's not too wet or cloudy and is generally comfortable.

No it's not that close, winters are coolish to me (I told my reasons in the last page), too much winter rain which quite is cool rain. I don't want minimums under 15C while in Funchal 5 months are under that (well, December is exsctly 15.0) but 3 even under 14C.

Summers are very good for me but also doesn't warm up enough until late May and not very much sun hours yearly so that's why I got B-/C+ which is a pretty good rate.

If you say so... I got my reasons, told them before. Cool rainy winters really annoy me. And you have to wait until June for warmth.

Amongst my favorite is San Diego and Cape Verde. Is that Spain?

For my ideal climate yes

I'm sorry but I'm a tropical dry climates lover. But mild tropical not tropical tropical so in the world just Canaries, St Helena, Cape Verde and parts of coastal Hawaii achieve my requisites.

But I'll take Canaries as they have near jungles with their laurisilva forests, pine forests, an almost 4000m peak, cristaline beaches with coconuts, palm tree forests (CIDP is natural of there), deserts... Definetly the place I want to live. I would live in a dry piece of coast under my coconuts but I can travel when I want to the humid laurisilva in question of less than 2 hours!

That's odd that Funchals winters are too cold when San Diego's winters are significantly colder and has 6/7 months with 15'C lows or less and even 9'C lows, and by your definition of "warm up" San Diego doesn't start warming up before June, one whole month after Funchal.

B for me. Temperatures are nice, but the dry summers let it down.
