So what do you think of this fictional Dsb or Dfb climate I created lately:





It has long but mild summers with very stable temperatures. The precipitation in the warm months varies pretty heavily. April, May and June are very dry (with May getting actually no rain at all in most of the years), whereas July, August and September get a fairly big amount of rainfall, which appears mainly in the form of thunderstorms (especially in August). Springs and falls are very short and the short fall is very gloomy due to the fact that October and November receive huge amounts of rain (mainly as constant rainfall). Winters are very snowy and the temperatures in December and January constantly stay under 0°C in most years. January is by far the coldest month, while the temperatures in February and December remain above -10°C for most of the time.

I give it an A-. Summers are very cool though a bit too long. Spring and fall are a bit too short and winter should be 1-2 months longer as well. But overall it's a great climate.

I like it a lot except for the too low sunshine hours and the dryness of May. I like how long the summer lasts even though the winter is very cold. B+

Temperatures down to -25 are considered to be "required of special coping adaptations or mechanism to ensure survival". Any such climate receives F. The climate is also hideously dull. May til September has adequate room temperatures by day but cold at night. F+.

Exactly what I was about to say. F+

Not sure what to make of this... it's like a highland climate adjacent to a very continental Mediterranean region?

D ... despite the miserable winters, there's a long pleasant stretch.

Very nice climate. Cold and snowy winters and the rest of the year is pleasant. Good rainfall and sunshine hours.

I give it a D because the winters (especially the lows) are way too cold and the all time record highs for December and January are barely above freezing. My ideal winter would have average temperatures in the 30s with some snow and some warm spells in the 50s and even 60s thrown in. Summer averages also look too cool for daytime highs as I'd like to see 80 F as a high on a regular basis. I enjoy swimming in outdoor pools.
