Obviously this is not on Earth you pedantic cretins. Open in new tab for a closer view, if you require. Port Yewtinkzatikaer is located at 65S on some random planet with a highly elliptical orbit, somewhere in the universe (good mathematical chance there is ya hardkunts). Since a full orbital period about its star is equal to three Earth years, it's a bit hard to imagine how such a long warm period followed by a relatively short but bitterly cold period would feel. About 78% of the year would be considered warm and with considerably high sunshine for most of those months. I'm guessing vegetation would be primarily "temperate" but with a few subtropical-like specimens due to the long warm periods. Of course, it's possible that there may be some tropical-like plants that have adapted to the bitter winters. The possibilities aren't so limited as they are on our own planet. I'll give this one a solid A-. The warm season is very long although the temperatures are a mix of near perfection with too much sunshine. The second March to second September would be quite unpleasant though. But knowing "Fall" with its sudden onset of monsoon, followed by tons of cold rain in the third March, followed by heavy snowfall and rapidly decreasing temperatures in the third April, would make those seven hottest months of the year more bearable. It's quite hot though...and consistently.

Very hard to rate with so many months but Iโll give it a try since you admitted itโs unrealistic.
The first 14 months are boring but pleasant and would get a D-.
The 15-21st months are too hot and boring and get a D-.
The 22-24th months are disastrous but at least get warmish rain. F for those months.
The 25-27th months are complete nightmare suicide months. Z for them.
The next are too cold and boring and get an E.
Guess it averages to an E.

First year is good summer weather, A, there is some variety there. Second year is bad, extreme heat followed by extreme rain. F. Third year has a fall and winter, finally some cold, but there is zero sunshine most of the year and most of the winter months are too cold. The zero sunshine and cold ruins the winter, the only good months are September through December. D.
That averages out to roughly a D.

The first year is heaven on non-earth. But to have to suffer through 7-8 months without daylight would be completely unsufferable. F.

Great find. In prefer the warm period during the first 2 and a half years, overall a c.

Shouldn't a planet with a highly elliptical orbit have a long winter and a short, but very hot summer? Planets move faster when closer to the parent star.

But who knows, maybe this climate is possible somewhere. But you think that I care? Okay. More than half of the year is either too hot, too wet, or way too cold. Winters are especially terrible. But I'll give it an E instead of an F for being interesting.
