Where are E and F opinions?
My rate is D, however. Too hot in summer and too mild in winter, though winter record lows look ridiculously low considering average winter temperature.

B. The cooler months are not the most ideal temperatures, but the summer is long enough that I wouldn't really notice.

D, although the airport is by far the warmest place in all of the ATL metro. Where I lived about 50 miles north of ATL the Jan. average is 48/28

I give a B for Atlanta climate because it's a very good climate with four seasons/good weather variety and a very hot/humid summer with short warm rain and beautiful thunderstorms can occurs.
The sunshine hours and the rainfall is very good too.

C, and about the heat island - it can be up to 10 degrees warmer than suburbs on radiational cooling nights, but during the day it would be around the same.

^^ That's true, but even during the day it's about 2-3 degrees warmer in Midtown than it would be in say, Marietta or Alpharetta.

Why doesn't the E USA have that summer precipitation peak and a clear winter precipitation minimum ? I mean I know you have the gulf and clashing of cold air and sorts but I mean surely spring-summer-Autumn should be wetter than winter. Fot example much of the feep south actually has random precipitation regimes is this just because of the near constant supply of gulf moisture? Its always bothered me.

Atlanta gets a D-

C. Atlanta is the best climate in the world that doesn't have palm trees.

I agree with everything you said. Plus its overly hot humid summers and cold winters.
