D+/C-. Summers too warm even if definitely bearable, too dry overall.

Hmm, I've made some minor changes after that 1.0 version.

This is the, maybe, 1.7 version:


Only minor tweaks. Winter and sumemr nights a bit cooler, 50 mm more rain, shifted some from winter to the latter half of the year. Record highs a bit higher. December clearly cooler now. Removed 50 hours of sun. I think this will be the final version. Might add some winter precipitation, then it's ready.

Great temperatures, but desiccated. I'll call it a 81% / B-.

Looks vaguely like home except...

If you were attempting to create a New England climate, you'd need to make:

1) Winter nights are 10°F colder, of if coastal, the days need to be much warmer
2) Seasonal sunshine distribution is lopsided, though the total amount is ok
3) More precipitation! What's with the scanty precipitation in winter?

My average is 60°F/36°F for comparison. I prefer this as a "fake New England climate":

Would rate this C, winter temperatures and snowfall are okay for me.
But the summer is too warm, especially the nights. Also the summer records would be too high for me.

Well, Boston was one of the real climates I used as an example, others being Chicago, Vienna, Chisinau and parts of Ukraine. CFL is the capital and most populous city of my fictional country, located on the coast. I've tried to simulate both maritime and UHI effects. When I've tweaked it since the original version, I've used only personal preferences without using that much real climates as a help, making it even more imaginary.

Too bad I lost all weather data when my hard drive broke, but I think the city hit 35C two or three times this year. Those 40C+ temps are very rare.

Some new members here, so give a rating, please.

I lowered the winter lows somewhat to give more mobility, also added the avg humidity.



I'll give it an A+++, naturally.
