This is essentially a British (primarily Scottish) climate with corresponding sun for a lower latitude (45°S), and being severely moderated by the cool Pacific waters that are actually not particularly close by maritime standards for such a low latitude. As a result of being a bit inland and in proximity to the Andes, the climate is much more variable than its thermal Scottish equivalents, with both 35°C and subzero °F having been recorded. Purely and simply, Coyhaique is a wild climate by maritime standards, essentially being a much drier and sunnier Bergen. For me this is a D+, better than Scottish D climates. The 45°S sun combined with occasional warm days should make summers at least livable, whereas winters do have a significant snow potential, although no numbers are presented, it wouldn't surprise me at all if 40-50 cm fell annually. Winters should also be quite variable, and more than 2,000 hours of sunshine is not that bad.  |

C-
Thunderstorms are probably very rare but at least it gets some decent heat on occasion. Sunshine hour distribution is really good...much better than here.

Pretty poor. Wrong end of Chile.

Pretty poor. Wrong end of Chile. Between northern and southernmost extremes, Chile definitely has one of the most stark contrasts of any country.  |

Between northern and southernmost extremes, Chile definitely has one of the most stark contrasts of any country. If we eliminate the big four (Russia, Canada, China, USA) dare I say, the most of "normal country sizes" going by land area? That latitudal range is crazy. Fairbanks is 39° north of Miami in relative terms and then Alaska is essentially a de-facto exclave separated by vast amounts of Canadian-only latitudes in British Columbia. From Arica to Puerto Williams is 36°... The remarkable part of Coyhaique is that it's both inland and at such a low latitude and still so extremely moderated. Also, being on the same latitude as Comodoro Rivadavia, while being farther west and inland, makes the extreme moderation and winters chilliness compared to Comodoro Rivadavia even more extreme. |

F+. Disgusting. The plus is for tolerable summer months.

E, worse than Bunghole. Although the sunshine hours are much better than in Britland, and also feels like Chilean measurements undersell the sunshine hours a bit

Atrocious sunshine hours in the latter, but also milder. Coyhaique is wayyy sunnier, easy choice really. Ensoleillement can easily make it feel up to 10F warmer, so the slight advantage that Glasgow has in temperatures is gone when you consider ensoleillement |

What's your grade for this place Sari? This does look like your dream summers pretty much at least... It's one of the best climates in South America. B-, those winters are too warm and the precipitation/sunshine pattern is all wrong (reverse it). |

D.
Winters are way too wet and gloomy and summers are much too cool, but at least the temperatures are comfortable (even if far from ideal) and the sunshine and precipitation totals are acceptable.

Fucken A. Pretty much your typical upper-subalpine climate in AU, with the exact same annual mean as Gurnang (9.5° C)  |

Decent rainfall and sunshine, but everything else about this climate is a fail.

It's somewhat similar to Esquel, with some advantages like less sun and more precipitation, and some disadvantages like rainier summers and warmer winters, so I'm going to give it a C like Esquel.
