Thoughts?
I'll go with C- thanks to the epic summers and seven excellent months by our standards. Winters would be a bit of a letdown, but at least it's snowy and knowing the warmth will come in abundance from April would ease the pain.
The June-August cycle is in particular intriguing. June 1953 was a cloudy, wet but warm maritime month that provides the bulk of this climate's precipitation. July 1994 saw a complete absence of rainfall and more than 400 sunshine hours. August 1997 on the other hand was Azorean in the temperature consistency regarding the highs, with the warm water tempering the lows. So, in other words summer will have three completely different faces, with 7 days above 30°C in July 1994. Due to the clear nights in early July, the overnight lows actually fall (!) between June and July in this climate, although they of course peak in August.
Of course the March/April layover is a bit unrealistic, so if this was a real climate March would probably need about 10°C as mean maximum to make it even sort of legit.
