Very nice climate in my opinion, with some good seasonal variability. Perhaps a little too cloudy in winter, but sunshine percentages in July & August frequently get into the 90's.
Very old averages, had they been 1981-2010 instead they'd be B- but now it has to be C+ instead because I'd expect summers to be hotter now. Having those hot nights follow those hot days can't be fun during that time. Aside from that it's not a bad climate at all.
D+
Summers are way too dry and sunny with too little diurnal variation. Winters are too mild with too little temperature variation. Snow and freezing temperatures seem extremely rare, which is a bad thing in my opinion. The only good thing about this climate is that it is fairly comfortable.

B- with the 1961-1990 averages or with the actual ones ?
The actual ones must be warmer in summer, so that means very muggy summer nights.
I would consider it a C- for various reasons:
Too much winter rain and a bit low sunshine amount in the winter. -1
Low highs from January to March. Really March not even 17ºC ? -2
A bit hot summers, specially during the nights. -1
That is 60/100. In the UK's qualifying notes it would be a C- I think, it's the lowest C qualification.
Typical climate for southern Mediterranean.
I'm not a fan of these climate. Too mild in winter and too hot in summer.
Pretty dry city for Mediterranean, only 500mm of precipitation!!? The driest cities in Serbia which are located over 500km from the sea, have a higher amount of precipitation than Heraklion!

Nearly perfect, but I would prefer it if each month was 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit hotter.
