My first rate the climate thread for months, so don't cry about it. I don't do them much.
A bit about it. The place features a comfortable climate that anyone can enjoy all year round. The winters are dry, sunny and pleasant making outdoor activities possible, and the summers warm and comfortable, with nights good for sleeping and a wet season with some thunderstorms in July-August. Thunder happens about 22 days a year on average. This is a pretty perfect climate if you like comfortable temperatures year round with a bit of variation. But to keep things interesting, you can see that it can get occasional hot spells from time to time, but not very often. I'd give it a B-.

I wouldn't find that comfortable (it looks like Australia), because summers are too hot (especially the records), and winters sometimes get too hot (record high of 29.7 °C in January? It would not feel good).
My idea of comfortable climates are:
Most of New Zealand
Most of UK
South-Eastern Alaska/Western British Columbia (Sitka, Ketchikan, Prince Rupert...)
Aleutian Islands
Faroe Islands
Western Norway (e.g. Bergen)
Southernmost part of South America (e.g. Punta Arenas, Ushuaia)
Some parts of Iceland
Coastal Nothern France
Coastal Northern Germany
Denmark
And so on
Places with colder winters, hotter summers, drier and/or sunnier than those places aren't comfortable for me.
Record highs are too warm.
Also, winters are a bit too warm, would like a little more contrast.
I might get tired of all that sunshine, would like a little less sunshine hours.
But a liveable climate overall, C.
