Argentina is a big country with a great diversity of climates. I suppose in this case you mean the central part, around Buenos Aires.
Good job, though!
Yeah, I was specifically referring to Buenos Aires and Bahia Blanca.

Technically true but it's pretty much just Motueka, maybe Greymouth at a stretch.
Time for Cs and Cw.
Csa:

Cwa:

Southern Chinese: Hot humid summers, warm dry winters, found in southern China (around Hong Kong), Taiwan, northern Vietnam, northern Myanmar, Queensland (around Rockhampton), Mexico (in small amounts), southeastern Brazil (around Sao Paulo) Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Botswana.

All coastal areas north of Christchurch on the east coast, and Franz Josef on the west coast, have warmer winters than Motueka, and comparable summers.
Cwa:
North Indian: Very hot humid summers, mild to warm dry winters, found in north India and Bangladesh Southern Chinese: Hot humid summers, warm dry winters, found in southern China (around Hong Kong), Taiwan, northern Vietnam, northern Myanmar, Queensland (around Rockhampton), Mexico (in small amounts), southeastern Brazil (around Sao Paulo) Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Botswana. Monsoon mid subtropical/Sichuanese: Warm to hot humid summers, mild dry winters, found in Sichuan. Monsoon upper subtropical: Warm to hot humid summers, cold but above freezing dry winters, found in Shandong, Henan and South Korea.
I highlighted the different Cwa subtypes in East Asia. I think the North Indian type is better distinguished by having a very hot pre-monsoon period at the end of the dry season.

The East Asia versions of Cfa are unusual in that they have a spring-late spring precipitation peak. Technically still monsoon influenced, but don't fit the Koppen driest month precipitation threshold for being Cwa.

Really? That seems a bit counter intuitive. There isn't any cold current or coastal upwelling so what causes that?

Correct about the north Indian climate, I forgot to mention that actually.
According to this map, rainfall peaks in late spring-early summer.

Great job again! I definitely agree that some of these areas, especially Yakutsk and some warmer hot-summer continental climates, are extreme enough to deserve their own "hypercontinental" class. However, I'm not sure how exactly I would implement that for hemiboreal climates, which tend not to get quite as cold as subarctic nor as hot as warm continental climates.

Less cloud cover means more frosts and colder minimums
Okay, but why doesn't Motueka have equally warmer summers as a result?

Okay, but why doesn't Motueka have equally warmer summers as a result?
Yes, bordering on Temperate oceanic rainforest.
Motueka has warmer summer maximums, but cooler minimums, making it warmer overall in summer, but not to the point of being a different climate type.
So much of the South Island is temperate rain forest, yet is excluded from that category -seems odd to consider Victoria BC as closer to rain forest, than towns in my area which have seven times the rainfall of Victoria.
