Very similar to an existing thread, but my question here is how much does your vegetation preference factor into your climate preferences?
For me, I'd say that my favorite type of climate also has some of my favorite kind of vegetation. However, there are a lot of different landscapes that I think are cool, but don't necessarily have a good climate in my opinion. So vegetation is important, but not crucial for my climate preferences.
I vote 3.
Edit: The poll should say "factor into", not "determine".

I also voted a 3. It matters to me somewhat; a climate that can't grow coconut palms isn't going to score as highly as one that can, for partly that reason.

I’d say a 2. My favorite vegetation is in climate much too cold and wet for me so it doesn’t factor in at all, I can easily drive to pretty vegetation so I don’t want to be miserably cold much of the year just to see in in my backyard.
That said I very much don’t want deciduous forest so the precipitation I have currently is the upper limit of where I’d go. Even if I wanted wetter, I’d increase precipitation days instead. Also part of why my dream climate has generally light precipitation on summer, 5” on the same number of days might be wet enough for deciduous forest. And I really don’t care about how intense the rain is, I mostly just want thunder so having light precipitation is totally fine.

4. I like lush subtropical vegetation and I purposely designed my dream climate so that there's enough precipitation in every month to balance evaporation. I wouldn't say it defined my climate preferences though, as I would prefer that kind of climate regardless of vegetation.

I give it a 4.

While my favorite vegetation, which is Mediterranean mixed evergreen/deciduous sclerophyllous open woodland, does match up with my dream climate, similar vegetation exists in different climates. Subtropical/tropical semiarid as well as tropical savanna have great vegetation (scrubland/savanna). So I’ll give a 3, as my climate preference does align with my vegetation preference, but I like most scrubland and savanna vegetation, no matter the climate.

3. My dream climate is temperate Continental and I like grasslands with a few patches of deciduous forests.
I already live in a grassland, but the trees here aren’t deciduous and usually stay green all year round.

Very few deciduous tree species in AU and the species Eucalyptus is Continent wide from the deep north to the far south... when an Aussie travels overseas and sees a gum tree in some far away exotic locale, well it immediately brings on homesickness. Personally I do use vegetation and tree species as a part of my climate classifications/descriptions... and yes, I do use the Coconut Palm and Jacaranda Tree as a 'rule of thumb' deliniation of climatic regions of tropical, subtropical and warm temperate in AU. Sometimes a Riparian environment can fool ya... as in permanent and semi permanent springs and soaks allow some species to grow and thrive in regions that might be hostile otherwise. The classic one in AU is in Palm Valley west of Alice Springs.... an arid desert region climatically, but with a remnant isolated endemic species of palm www.palmpedia.net/wiki/Livistona_mariae ) |

I like Mediterranean forests and scrubs, but I don't like stereotypical med climates with very wet winters.
