Visingsö - a small island in Lake Vättern in Southern Sweden 2002-2018:  What makes Visingsö unique is that Vättern is both cold and deep, so it doesn't warm efficiently in summer and doesn't freeze (except for 2010 which was when the February record low was recorded), thus resulting in a both maritime but also cool-summer climate for being interior Sweden. Rather interesting climate either way. |

Kaliningrad 2002-2018, possibly the jewel of the Baltic Sea climate-wise. It has a bit of everything, including two months above 23°C and one month with winter highs below freezing. It also should receive plenty of snowfall and quite a few thunderstorms, as well as getting a lot of heat bursts in summer from south-easterlies. It having 1,707 hours of sunshine 1961-1990, should translate to close to 1,900 hours this millennium so far. Thoughts on this one 🖕🏿Mörön🖕🏿 , knot , Babu , Ariete ? Is Kaliningrad the best the Baltic Sea has to offer? Seeing this, especially the mean spring and autumn maximums and the likely snow yield, I think that's the case.  |

Too many identical boring Swedish climates  |

I don't think this is an identical boring Swedish climate... Either way, thoughts on your hometown for 2002-2018 Giorbanguly ? Also, what about 🖕🏿Mörön🖕🏿 ? Might be one of your dream climates? For sunshine it was 1,731 hours for 1981-2010 so probably close to 1,800 hours now. The cool part about Moscow's climate is that it's front-loaded enough for May to have warmer lows (!) than September...  |

It's a solid A. Any idea what sunshine hours are like, especially in winter? The low diurnals in winter are very strange. Very good climate though.  |

UHI's on this high latitude tend to cause very strange diurnals. This is also the world's coldest megacity (+10 mil) so it's bound to look a bit odd in that regard. Also, the colder the highs get in such UHI's like the cold winters around the turn of the decade, the lower the diurnals get. Anyway, this should tell you a thing or two about the sunshine distribution!

Yes, very likely the best Baltic Sea climate.

July looks a lot more acceptable, but otherwise still an awful climate I don't want to live in. That's gonna be an E from me |

Fort Nelson in 🖕🏿Mörön🖕🏿 's home province of British Columbia right on my latitude (58.48°N, mere decimals north of where Nyköping is) and its 2002-2018 averages. This climate is rather bonkers, and now also humid continental rather than subarctic in spite of a 0.0°C annual mean. It's definitely gotten milder and I've checked to see whether that January 2014 chinook episode actually happened, and it did. The October cold snap of 2012 also seems genuine. It's definitely rather crazy. Sadly the Environment Canada stats for recent decades are rather messy, so I didn't get any snow numbers, but given the historical averages of 191 cm, it should be close to that. Thoughts on this climate Candle? Is this an A-grade climate for yourself?  |

I'll give it an A- That area (and Fort St John quite a bit farther south) can get some surprisingly huge and crippling snowfalls. A great and very wankable climate! |

I think it's interesting that despite a massive drop in temperatures between Nov and Dec, and rise in Feb and Mar, the winters on average are still quite cold. Nice variation too. IMO the most impressive feature of Seoul.

Innsbruck in Western Austria, one of the jewels of the Alps, located in a fabulous valley setting (been there once, August '07) and its 2002-2018 averages.  It has a bit of everything for everyone, so I assume weather enthusiasts of all sorts could find suitable features in this one. Historical sunshine hours are 1,872 on average, but given the increased precipitation it might not have risen as much as Northern European ones have. Thus, about 1,900 hours might be a good estimation. Also, Excel rounded the precipitation down to 1000.0 mm annually, but the weatherbox instead showed 1000.1... well... anyway, thoughts on this one 🖕🏿Mörön🖕🏿 and knot ? |

^Stable, boring crummers (i.e. stable crummer lows); fairly nice winters.

Very good summers but the winters are a bit mediocre. Not bad though.

Fort Simpson has for more than half of the 2001-2030 years managed to pass 24°C July highs, which is rather impressive given it being close to 62°N! I reckon many other continental preference members would find this rather interesting. For me it's the most liveable climate in Canada's Arctic territories.

What does the weather enthusiast community think of the last 17 years of one of the best climates in the world?  🖕🏿Mörön🖕🏿 knot On a more serious note, what does Giorbanguly think of Funchal with some increased summer warmth in this that most likely will look similar to the 2001-2030 averages? Also Babu , how epic isn't this? Notable here of course is the typical Funchal characteristic of a gloomy but simultaneously drying spring with the clouds often preventing even 27°C days from occuring during early summer. For me it's still A+ but summers are getting a bit muggier with the humidity factor also included by now although still mostly comfortable since the 27/21 averages often re-occur due to the maritime stability.  |

Pretty bad to be honest. Better than Lima though!
