Vancouver is in the typical oceanic camp with Mediterranean influences according to the OPs criteria.
Vancouver

May: 12.8°C
June: 15.7°C
July: 18.0°C
August: 18.0°C
September: 14.9°C
October: 10.3°C


Well according to the 6 warmest months Vancouver is a cool oceanic climate because only 4 months are at or above 13°C though May is close...

Warm oceanic (W2wo): annual Tº 15ºC to 20ºC, summer mean <20ºC, Pp>=1000mm.

London doesn't fit into any of those.

There's also a distinct in nature aspect to the classification. I think Bilbao would be distinct compared to London.

Actually due to island heat London fits into the transitional temperate/subtropical category (Tm>10ºC), but its surroundings (the typical England's countryside) do fit into the C3to, because they fulfil the main requeriments of a Temperate climate (C3t), wich are annual mean btw 3ºC and 10ºC and Pp above 250mm. But then i proposed the subdivisions Temperate continental (C3tc) and Temperate oceanic (C3to), both with their respective requeriments (the latter's mentioned in my previous post). And the one among the two sharing more fulfiled requeriments with a given place, is the actual climate of that place.

Actually May makes it according to the Vancouver Harbour station and that's where the majority of people live. The airport is isolated with nothing else around it.

The airport is really unrepresentative of the GVA. It's a bit disappointing that is kinda considered the typical Vancouver weather when it's a bit different...

Climate is just a minor factor contributing to the distinctiveness of New Zealand's nature; its geologic history and subsequent isolation are bigger factors.

Now I see... I wish the Vancouver wiki page had the Vancouver Harbor data along with the airport data.

Of course - everywhere is a product of climate, geological history and subsequent isolation/contact.

That's why I see the suitability of exotic species as a better indicator of comparative levels of subtropical-ness.

I didn't think subtropical-ness was the issue today.
