What’s your ideal climate with a 10 c annual mean and 1000 mm of annual precipitation? Saw this thread come back up on cd and was bored in my hotel so made a climate for it. Basically I just reduced every average low by 1.6 f to get the mean and then kept winter precipitation and snowfall the same but added a ton to April-August which I’d like to be the wet season anyway. This climate would probably get like 60 t-storms a year. I’d give it an A-, too wet but perfect in other aspects.  |

My dream climate's annual mean is 60 F, so I could have just made the highs and lows of each month exactly 10 F cooler but that would be boring. I decided to reduce the mean temp of each monthly equally, but primarily reduce the lows in winter. Highs and lows were reduced equally in summer. In general, I prefer colder winters to have larger diurnal ranges and cooler summers to have smaller diurnal ranges. The result is a climate with an average high 7.5 F cooler and average low 12.5 F cooler. My dream climate's annual precipitation was almost exactly 1000 mm already, so I just took a little bit off of the summer months to get down to 1000 mm. I'll give it a B. Just a bit too cool for me.  |

I like to keep winter temps mild so sacrificing warmth in summer a bit. All summer rain comes from thunderstorms.  |

This one is my 10°C climate with the coldest winters I'd accept. I like a winter seasonal lead, to give an early spring feel, but we get two months in which there would be an appreciable amount of snow for interest. The summers are also pretty decent compared to the other climate. It is, however, somewhat cloudier.  |

This is quite a weird and unrealistic climate in that the wet/dry transitions happen so quick and the lows are incredibly stable to provide for a long growing season from March to November. There is also no seasonal lag, June is the 2nd warmest summer month and December the second coldest winter month. It looks quite similar to Seattle or a wetter, Mediterranean version of London. I also chose to have a long period of mild, subpar warmth instead of one hot month. Also, it is 1.5f and .31" over the criteria, I didn't mean to cheat, and it's close enough. Didn't know it had to be exact and not in the general area based on some of the examples before me which also took slight margins of error from the criteria. So if you want, just imagine this with 1.5f knocked off every temperature and .31" less of August rain. |

Averaging 43.3 and 60.0 is not 50.0F. No cheating |

I would change it further but don't want to mess up and then revert another wiki page. |

Exactly 50F / 10C and 1000mm of precip Butchered Black Spruce Ridge for yinz enjoyment   |

It'd basically be my dream climate with very minor changes. I'd only chop down precip a bit, preferably in winter (something I've actually considered re my dream climate for quite some time).

Though this Cwb climate lacks summer warmth, the lack of winter cold compensates for it. I didn't add sunshine hours but it is between 2300-2400 hours per year.  |

Original dream climate had a 12.6° C annual mean and 1,013.2 mm so I had to deduct 2.6° C and 13.2 mm. All I did for precip was reduce March (early autumn) by 13.2 mm, since I don't give a fuck about early autumn precip—in turn, I also made March warmer than December and almost as warm as Jan (extreme seasonal lag to make up for the significantly cooler summer). Same general patterns as my dream climate…pretty happy with it. Still A+ IMO. You'll also notice I didn't touch record lows, only record highs, so made it more stable and sensible overall (i.e., no extreme cold). To make up for the colder temps, I added notably more snowfall.  Original to compare:  |

Here's mine:  I based it on my real climate but added a few degrees to each month, especially the summer, and padded the winter precipitation totals as well. I also took some liberty with the record temps, removing the potential for cold blasts in midsummer and increasing the heat potential. These modifications actually improve the grade of my climate from a 1.77 to a 2.54 - not bad! |

My original dream climate has an annual mean of 11.7°C and 1220.2mm of precipitation, so this climate isn't too far off from it. I cooled summers by about 0.7°C and winters by about 2.7°C, making this climate a bit more continental than the original. I still kept the same precipitation pattern but every month is now a touch drier. Overall, I'd still consider this climate an A+.
Here's my actual dream climate, since it has changed a bit since the last time I posted it:

Extremely easy; I just made the coldest 5 months a bit colder, and added some precipitation evenly during the year:

Should have just gone for it and dropped a winter month mean sub 0C |

So maybe it's a little algorithmic, but who's to say that's a bad thing?  |
