In a virtually tree-less environment (scatterd palms?) and no buildings over one-story tall
I think I would enjoy climate 7's man-made temps,
provided cloud cover was very scarce so 4000+ hours of direct annual sunshine,
sustained wind so light, it's direction is barely detectable.
*and some "man-made" sunburn/cancer-proof skin to match this climate
Today's weather made me think I could like this:
completely cloudless skies,
it was about 60 F at 9 am,
a high of 70 F
nearly-no wind, gusts so light they're barely detectable
overnight low forecast somewhere in the mid 50's F
Even though January is 20+ degrees colder than either Feb or Dec and August is 15 degrees warmer than July which is really odd....but interesting....lol.
It's not that far-fetched of a climate. Like I said, with the correct geographic characteristics and lat/lon and continental proportions, it would be possible on Earth. Just not at the present time.

I know it's not that far-fetched of a climate...but what I've noticed that in extreme continental climates (that climate seems like an extreme version of Verkhoyansk) is that seasons change very quickly.....meaning that August is usually much cooler than July and June almost as warm as July.....and in winter December is nearly as cold as January and Feb is much warmer than Dec/Jan. You should look at the averages for Verkhoyansk or Tok, Alaska...and you will see what I'm talking about.

A lot of people don't notice that. It's a result of (mainly) oceanic latency being much less for such places, and the altitude of the sun and daylength become relatively more important. It's also possible to note such variations in a reduced fashion in much less extreme climates, if you look at daily temperature averages. Even in my temperate maritime country, the "winter edge" months of June and August show a difference ranging from about +0.5C to -2.3C (June - August) depending on location.

Exactly...here in the U.S, in a coastal city like NYC or Boston, February will be almost as cold as January, and August nearly as warm as July, while in an inland city like Minneapolis for example, December is often colder than February...and June and August are roughly equal while both months being cooler than July by a noticeable margin. I know this is the case around the world....usually if a city is close to a body of water they will have "seasonal lag" because it takes water a lot longer to cool off/warm up than it does over land.
