I'm not sure if this city has been done before. The Hostess City of the South has a humid subtropical climate with hot humid summers and mild winters with rainfall evenly distributed.

C+, winters just warm enough for palms, but can get pretty chilly cold snaps (days with highs around 40 and lows around 20) and summer is way too humid and rainy
A solid B in my book. Lots of humidity during summer with lots of thunderstorms and winters warm enough for many subtropical or warm temperate plant species.
I'll do a poll for another city as this is the very first thread I ever made. I give it a C+, the climate is very comfortable from November to March, but for the rest of the year while hot is very good for going to the beach in Tybee Island. By the way how do you make a poll?
It's an interesting city with a lot of historical architecture and plenty to do. I liked my visit there but I remember it being very hot and the climate box seems to confirm that isn't an isolated experience.
I was stationed about 45 minutes from there for a couple years and frequently visited because there was nothing to do near the base I was at. It's just WAY too hot, humid, and sunny for my tastes in the summer months. It's basically Florida lite.
B. Winters are not bad at all, although for such mild averages the record lows and mean minimums are too low and this is definitely a downside regarding the hardiness zone of the city. Spring and autumn are absolutely gorgeous, if not perfect. Summer temperatures are also very good but I would prefer if it was significantly dryer. Overall, this is an excellent climate and despite some aspects I would change in summer and winter, spring and autumn definitely reach perfection for me.
