Glasbyn (English: Glass Village) is a city that was originally founded on the glass industry some centuries ago on this fictional planet. Located 500 km south of Lommarby, it shares some similar features, but has a greater maritime influence in summer and stronger sun in winter, further exaggerating the differences towards the former. Weaker areas of B+ for me: Low humidity in spite of the moderate diurnals in summer helps, so does the sunshine, and 7/-3 winters are a very decent compromise as far as four-season climates go. Some Virginia climates have similar winters and I think those look rather decent that time of the year. To also receive 47 cm of snow would be a welcome change of pace rather than just cold winter rain. Favourite month however would definitely be June. Being at 52°N on this fictional planet, needless to say the planet has a higher average temp compared to Earth. Heavy rainfall is quite common, especially in summer. It's not tropical-level prone to thunderstorms, but they're certainly present in the area and its surroundings for half the year.

A+, by inland standards. Just plain wankable! Finally a realistic fictional climate, too

A+, by inland standards. Just plain wankable! Finally a realistic fictional climate, too Given it's oceanside, what about by maritime standards? It's essentially a bit more of a locked in (by mountains) coastal New England, with easier access for drier air to flow from the south in all seasons due to the shape of the mountain ridge. All in all, the sea and the interior work well in harmony to create a rather interesting hybrid climate here.

All in all, the sea and the interior work well in harmony to create a rather interesting hybrid climate here. The foremost problem this climate faces on maritime standards is the overall warmth throughout the year; maritime climates—according to my standards—should yield cold, snowy winters that are rarely above freezing and cool, unstable summers with the occasional sleet or snow shower. High squalls and low pressure dominance are paramount, of course. Thus, it is a C+ by maritime standards. Its relative fun factor makes up for lack of the classical cold, low pressure-dominated notion of climates like South Georgia, Orcadas and so forth.

C. Winter too mild, wet and not snowy enough, too wet outside of spring. Summer looks exactly the same as Rochester.
