I'd go with that too. Also Vancouver goes into the same category for me.

Yes, like I said the winter sunshine hours are low which makes the fact that it gets around 2000 hours of yearly sunshine quite impressive when you consider its pretty much over 9 months of the year.

Not sure whether that's a positive thing, unless you like big differences in sunshine hours between winter and summer. The south coast probably has the biggest difference between winter and summer totals, only Scotland is a close match in that respect, however here it is caused by exceptionally cloudy winters rather than the other way around.

Its positive in that it means its quite a Sunny place during the Summer months, its negative in that you don't get to see much sun (like anywhere else in N Europe) in the Winter, what do you expect when you are 50 degrees north, in the South UK we only get 8 hours daylight in mid winter let alone sunshine! In the North its more like 6 hours daylight! Still it could be worse, there are plenty of places that get even less than 8 hours daylight mid winter and some that don't get any daylight at all!

D; just like most British climates. Not nearly enough seasonal variation and has quite pathetic winters for a place above 50 N.

As I said already, Khatgal in Mongolia gets far more winter sunshine at the same latitude as Plymouth

No higher rating for the extra sun?

C

Winters are too mild.

Summers are very pleasant.

Precipitation are well diastributed throughout the year.

Sunshine hours are roughly like an average in Serbia, there are some cities in Serbia with less sunshine hours.
