Well I think that no one guesses the place,

the solution

City located at 1800 meters altitude, 30 degrees, in Iran

Yasuj (Persian: ياسوج; also Romanized as Yāsūj, Yasooj, and Yesūj;

World Weather Information Service - Yasouj



the entire period of years, with all data

As per usual, rounding to nearest 1C and 5MM to dodge Googlability.

JAN: 6 -32C 0MM
FEB: 5 -33C 5MM
MAR: 5 -34C 10MM
APR: 12 -34C 35MM
MAY:15 -34C 140MM
JUN: 15 -32C 230MM
JUL: 15 -28C 315MM
AUG: 15 -28C 340MM
SEP: 15 -28C 290MM
OCT: 13 -29C 140MM
NOV: 8 - 31C 35MM
DEC: 6 - 30C 0MM

There are approximately 110 rainy days ( rounded to the nearest ten ), and 2550 sunshine hours per year ( rounded to the nearest fifty ).

In March one could get heatstroke and hypothermia on the same day. Weird.

can we get a hint on this one?

It's in the Old World and it starts with L.

A hint: it's not a vast distance from this place, though the seasonal rainfall distribution is quite different.

There's a Linzhi in Tibet(?) that might do. Also a Loralai in Pakistan. But I can't see any info for these.

Pakistan and Tibet are way colder in winter i'm afraid

Anyway i'm not even close to a specific location, but i tried to narrow it down... it feels like it has to be:
- in the tropics around 10-20°N because of the hot winter highs
- at a high elevation (probably around 2000m)
- extremely continental
so the only place where i could see this climate being possible is at some high elevation place just south of the sahara, but there are no major cities which qualify and i can't find any other data
