Ny-Nashquatuxet gets a C. I want to know how windy it is since it is a maritime east-coast climate. Also I want to know how many thunderstorm days it gets.
Too cool year-round although decent. Precipitation is good.

Another climate on the Arcsirian continent: Sokaro is a very cold continental climate at 50N. It is located east of a large inland sea which gives it very high snowfall. A mountain range is located just north of the sea, which allows the Arcsirian continent to experience more stable winters than North America, as the mountain range blocks extreme cold waves. I give Sokaro an F because it is far too cold. What do you think? sari do you like this one?   |

@qidb602 it's probably like a D from me-- those winters don't look more severe in intensity than mpls (what I'm used to)-- but transitions are terrible admiteddly (semi-except september) and summer is too prone to cool spells (but at least can get some nice and warm days)

Another Arcsirian climate here. Gormin is a mild oceanic climate at 50N on the west coast of Arcsirius. It is bordered by open ocean to the north and west while being influenced by a warm ocean current. I give it a C/C+. Too cool year-round, especially in summer. Also a bit too cloudy and wet for a cooler climate. Thoughts? tij Cadeau  Seems like mean maximum in spring months deviating largely from average highs. Guessing that majority of days seeing slightly below normal temps and only a few days spiking into well above normal to make up the average? |

It bears some resemblance to Seattle, which also has mean maxima in spring deviating largely from average highs: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle#ClimateHeat waves in spring are more prominent than cold waves, but overall spring is fairly variable. |

As a side note, though, some of the mean minimum vs record low looks a bit odd in the summer. August, on average, comes within 4C of its all-time record low every year? |

As a side note, though, some of the mean minimum vs record low looks a bit odd in the summer. August, on average, comes within 4C of its all-time record low every year? In general, the summer lows are pretty stable. The mean minimum is 7.3C but some Augusts might have 9C and some might have 5C as a minimum. The coldest temperature recorded in August was 3.1C. This is combined with the relative weakness of the August record low compared to other records. However, I think it is reasonable as for example, Seattle has a difference of 6.7F or 3.7C between the August mean minimum and record low. With that being said, I do agree it may be more reasonable to lower it a bit, maybe to 2.1C or so, as the difference between the average low and mean minimum isn't that small. I'll make the change in my Wikipedia sandbox. <iframe width="26.920000000000073" height="21.620000000000005" style="position: absolute; width: 26.92px; height: 21.62px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 15px; top: -6px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_31753901" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="26.920000000000073" height="21.620000000000005" style="position: absolute; width: 26.92px; height: 21.62px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1283px; top: -6px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_55625944" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="26.920000000000073" height="21.620000000000005" style="position: absolute; width: 26.92px; height: 21.62px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 15px; top: 1004px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_21666311" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="26.920000000000073" height="21.620000000000005" style="position: absolute; width: 26.92px; height: 21.62px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1283px; top: 1004px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_85451655" scrolling="no"></iframe> EDIT: I changed the August record low to 2.1C for the climate box I posted in this thread as well. |

Two climates here! Introducing Moose Cape! A continental climate with cold winters and warm, sometimes stormy summers. Barely any seasonal lag as it is located fairly inland from the western coast on a ficitional supercontinent at 53N. Winter: Cold and generally unforgiving with long cloudy periods and regular yet light snow (dec: 30cm, jan: 35cm, feb: 20cm, mar: 15cm). By mid February however, things are starting to take a turn for the better. Spring: A rapidly warming season with the regular light snow becoming pleasant spring rains. By mid-May trees are fully leaved and two months before snow cover has usually melted. Summer: Warm and pleasant, summer is best known for its long, lazy days with weeklong sunny spells interspersed with unstable and stormy troughs. Summer has a strong season lead with June almost being warmer than August. June and August can both be quite variable but July tends to be stable in terms of temperatures with most days between 26-34C. Autumn: An abrupt end to summer, September begins fairly cloudy and swiftly cools down into the gloomy, drizzly and cold late autumn. Still there are times of indian-summer weather with strong heatwaves occasionally reaching this far north but they don't last very long past late September.  At a latitude of 36N sits the large town of Thunder Creek, at 600m/1970ft above sea level this climate has cold, moderately dry winters and hot, humid and stormy summers alongside unstable shoulder seasons.  |

D+ for Moose Cape, and B- for Thunder Creek

B+ for Moose Cape. Every month could easily happen in my climate, and none of them are bad. It could use a little more precipitation and a few degrees cooler in all months. C- for Thunder Creek, too hot in summer but the other months are decent. It would get some mild weather in summer, at least.
C- for Sokaro. The cool laggy summer is the worst part. It's also wetter than ideal. Winter looks great. D+ for Gormin. Summer could be warmer and I don't like the wet fall/winter trend. Winter temperatures are good for a non-snowy place.

Maded this absurd hybrid between Furnace Creek and Verkhoyansk! Thoughts? 🖕🏿Mörön🖕🏿 , Crunch41 , tij , @qidb602? It looks rather insane to me, an E+. Some comfortable parts of the year and at least summer should have low dew points... Quite alright snowfall for a continental semi-arid climate though! Approximated latitude? Hmmm... tricky call, 49°N maybe? That's about half-way between those, but still low enough for summer heat traps to be formed.  |

Lommaren this one seems like my type so an A+++++? Jk, it's not my thing so a D- since it probably has some comfortable periods (apr-may, sept-oct). Far too extreme and dry though.

Lommaren Fernoyansk Creek is horrible. F+. It's actually borderline arid (BWk) according to Koppen instead of just semi-arid. Basically a cold fucken desert climate with overly hot summers. At least sunshine is good and snowfall is low for the winter temps. It's similar to Karamay so latitude can be ~46N. Karamay is at an elevation of 354m though. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karamay#Climate

Fernoyansk is basically Karamay with colder spring and fall. Both are bad climates, they are far too dry and temperatures are too extreme. D- for both

Welcome to Fortescue!  A mountaintop weather station by an old hut (similar to Mount Augustus in Western Australia). I've tried to create a highland Gascoyne/Pilbara climate with very stable, sunny summers with high diurnals. Winters have very high diurnals and most rain comes in the form of thunderstorms in summer and weak front rain from April to July. Spring is very dry as is tradition in these areas  I'd give it a B-, too dry and very little rain in winter and probably too sunny for me. At least nights cool down to pretty good levels and with the help of altitude daytimes wouldn't be too bad especially with frequent wind (it's a mountain  ). Zero or subzero temps happen once every 2 years or so, but winters are way too stable to allow any variability in minima. Driest year on record was 2002 with 135.0mm, the wettest was 2017 with 398.6mm. Most years have erratic enough rainfall that it ends up around average with it not being rare to have a month containing 30-40% of the annual rainfall. |

Found this climate I made years ago. Cherrapunji rainfall, but snow instead of rain. Wtf. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CherrapunjiIt has the same rainfall and rainy days as the real thing, but with a SH temperature pattern so that monsoon is snowy. I had the humidity included too, but 70% RH in the winter didn't make any sense, January would have an average dew point of 18C/65F but almost no rainfall. Sunshine, temperatures, and rain/snow amounts are made up. I assumed that the snow would be VERY wet, if it was dry snow the total would be much higher. This is only 1C from a Dsa climate by the way  and for some reason I gave it a seasonal lead in spring. Any guesses on when the snow would melt? I think February. Another version with rainfall. I didn't like the way it looked so it's in a spoiler. |
