Greetings!
You have to use the current climate you are in (or the climate where you are from, if that is what you prefer) and using the same annual average mean, the same precipitation, and same sunshine amount, you have to "optimize" these conditions to determine the best climate possible.
For instance, since I'm from Minneapolis, my climate has an annual mean of 7.9C (46.2F) and 30.61 (778 mm) of precipitation. I have to create a climate with similar stats, or find a real-world climate that works for me. I'd personally choose something like Briançon, France (with winters a smidgen cooler and wetter, and a bit sunnier [less so adjusting for the measurement difference]) as the best possible climate with my statistics, and this climate would deserve a B/B-.
Would also love to know how you would rate this climate, and what problems or benefits does it have compared to your dream/current climate.

Am I allowed to change snowfall and precipitation days?

Am I allowed to change snowfall and precipitation days? Feel free to alter the form as well as the distribution of your precipitation, but please try to use realistic conversion ratios! |

Here it is:  Changes include: -Warmer highs -Colder lows -more snow -wetter springs -drier summers and falls |

Great Steelernation ! Would also love to know how you would rate it! B. Excellent temps but too wet and snowy. |

Slightly less extreme version and adjusted considering realistic pattern  A lot of changes lol nothing resembles as before  |

There wasn't much to play with since Umeå Airport has so cold lows - it doesn't make sense that Kronoby would have a higher mean temperature than Umeå, being on the Finnish side and the same distance from the sea. Anyway, I raised some diurnal ranges, changed the latitude to around 40°N, decreased precipitation days, made the winters drier, and made the winter temperature gradient like the ones in PNW with December being the coldest month and an earlier start to spring. I also changed the records, especially in winter to reduce severe cold and get some potential for warm breaks.  |

Did one for the warmest station in Sweden. Quite pleased with it. B+. Latitude about 40°N  |

tij I like this idea. I'll do one when I get a chance.

Good idea. Sadly I have a very limited scale to play on. I guess I would do this:

I'd do it rather simple. Just make winters (Nov-Mar) 2°C colder and summers (May-Sep) 2°C warmer, while keeping April and October unchanged. Then hand a bit more precipitation to winter from summer and keeping the sunshine distribution for Norrköping exactly the same. Nyköping would look a little bit different to this box with the lower summer diurnals, but it's rather close.   |

Actual  Changed (keeping same temp averages) Honestly, I would hate my summers - but winters would be much better. |

I kept annual average temperature, precipitation, precipitation days, humidity and total sun hours the same.
Winter has very small diurnals and a bit higher precipitation. Record temps are more stable especially the highs. This makes snow much higher and snow cover very consistent, even though winter isn't any colder. Spring is warmer and drier all around. Summer is a bit cooler and drier. Fall is cooler and a bit wetter, and cooler than spring. I took some sun from May-September and made November and December less gloomy.
This is a terrible, hyperoceanic tundra climate. Sunshine doesn't make sense. It would be in the tropics based on daylight hours and no climate like this would ever have over 50% sunshine.

argh...I'm almost done with my new and MUCH MUCH better version of Vancouver. You will all be amazed at its awesomeness, if not, unpleasantness.  I'll post it tomorrow night. Gotta go to bed as I've been up for almost 24 hours. |

Semi-cheated by rounding both temp averages in Fahrenheit down. Deal with it. (64.6 -> 64 and 44.5 -> 44). Snow averages came from weird math, probably underestimated the snow in December and January and overestimated it in other months. Very very loosely based on Kansas City's actual conditions in the year 1950: Average temperatures for the year, despite a general cooling of most months, exist because of a very warm autumn. General changes made: slightly colder winters made summers considerably milder and wetter (precipitation redistributed, not increased or decreased) warm autumn to counteract these (but still very tolerable) weird attempt at calculating how much more snow there would be with these temperatures record temperatures are somewhat arbitrary  I'll probably make some intentionally ridiculous versions of this later. |

My modified version is much more continental than real Frankfurt. Only February is worse, all the other months way better. I don't have much flexibility regarding sunshine as I don't accept a single month having less sunshine than it already has. But I would say my modified climate is slightly further north, so % sunshine is slightly higher in winter and slightly lower in summer.  Real one: i.imgur.com/n7hRZKz.png |
