I don't think my climate would change much, being in the middle of a continent. Wind would come mostly from the east, which means a lot more cool spring days from the cold lake water. There are no large mountain ranges nearby, so moisture from the oceans could still reach here, and so could cold from Canada. I think Milwaukee would be very close to its neighbor on the other side of Lake Michigan, Muskegon. Slightly more temperature lag, more winter precipitation, milder low temperatures. Sunshine should be similar to Grand Rapids which is about 10% lower than Milwaukee in winter and 5% in summer. Only 22% sunshine in December  Milwaukee for reference, spoiler:   A slight improvement actually, I'll take the higher snow since I'm stuck inside at work when it's sunny in winter anyways. If the gulf stream decided to switch directions and make the US like Europe, I could be as warm as Dubrovnik. Similar latitude, and both are on a coast. MUCH warmer climate. More sun, more rain, warmer summer nights, winters that see very little frost or snow. Dubrovnik has not recorded a freeze this winter.  |

Maybe a drier version of Chapais, i.e. shit.

Something like Albany or Mt Barker, WA. Grim.
On a positive note, the alps would get an absolute fuckton of snow in winter.

Not if the Gulf Stream still exists.
You all are giving way too much credit to the clockwise rotation and no credit to the Gulf Stream, which is the main source of Europe's warmth.

Wouldn't Tasmania and the alps bear some of the brunt of those SW's? Upon second thoughts, indeed. The windward>leeward pattern would be switched-around in this case; Sydney would be cooler and wetter for the latitude, whereas Melbourne would be warmer and drier—I will also be warmer and drier for the latitude and altitude. Batlow and Cooma will basically switch places...I'd hate that. Too, the inland NSW alps may get less snowfall, not more. Deleted my previous, erroneous post. Definitely prefer the East Coast set-up now. |

I assumed ocean currents would be completely different anyway, hence ignoring them. |

Definitely prefer the East Coast set-up now. I dont think you were necessarily in error, at least in terms of the temperatures nothing much would change and the rainfall pattern would be med. Just that the alps would block most of the rain and SWs as well as tasmania, but the stronger ones would still get through. |

Here's my opposite climate. How accurate do you think it is?  |

First one is Far Western Sydney, second is Sydney CBD:  |

Here's my retrograde climate, based on Albany, WA. It could be potentially inaccurate. I simply estimated the humidity (mean of afternoon and morning) and used an online calculator to find the dew point (which is IMO, way more useful than the humidity). Also, the sunshine was a wild guess, but I decided to make it slightly sunnier than currently, with a summer sun bias.  |
