A climate I might try and do a few years of data for, just a random cliamte I made recently. Tried to create a midwest/plains style climate maybe near to a lake to get the slight seasonal lag. I give it a D. May to september are decent, october is the only other "passable" month and the rest are too cold.  |

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. 18C DP with no rainfall absolutely does make sense although the summer lows are too cool for that to be realistic. Consider the coastal Mediterranean, the Persian Gulf, and Lima. However, what I think doesn't make sense is that it's physically impossible for that much precipitation to fall at such cold temperatures as the water column is too low. It's interesting nonetheless. |

Playing with Vostok. This is the original version. Cold and dry. I never paid much attention to the seasons before, but after doing these boxes I see just how short their summer is and how long and flat the winter is. The coldest 6 months are basically the same except for bit of sun at the start and end. May is colder than June, but the coldest months are July through September. The "summer" is December and January only.  First idea was inverted temperatures. Rainfall is now inches instead of mm. It gives stable summers that could be a tropical highland climate and short but chilly winters. This counts as Dfb or Cfb. Cherrapunji has a really long stable summer like this, but the rainfall is very different and I don't know of any real-world place with a long summer and short, cold winter.  (-1) * Temperature C >> Temperature F Precip mm >> Precip inch Second idea, inverted the Fahrenheit temps instead of Celsius, and the rainfall is based on sun hours. Hot stable summers with extreme record temps and a long dry season. 50C and frost in the same month. Winter is still short, but now extremely snowy. This is a Dsa climate, a cold bizarre Mediterranean place.  (-1) * Temperature F >> Temperature F Sun hours / 100 >> Precip inch
The same box, but I put the rainfall in metric. Now it has some kind of monsoon? Still Dsa.  (-1) * Temperature F >> Temperature F Sun hours / 100 >> Precip mm
Those are the only ideas that made something like a real climate. The other idea I had was just warming the climate until I got something reasonable. Here is Vostok warmed up a massive 50C (90F). I also made it 10x wetter. Still cold. The short but warm summer is comfortable and sticks out better now that the box is not shades of blue. Dsc climate.
People like to say that Wisconsin and other cold places are winter for most of the year...this place actually could say that. Vostok 65.2C warmer, to make an annual mean of 10C/50F. This matches some continental and oceanic cities in the US and Europe. Summer is very hot, but most of the year feels like winter. Bsk climate.  The same box, flipped for the NH. As someone from the northern hemisphere this makes more sense to me. I really notice the short summer and lack of seasonal lag now. Usually August is warmer than June, but not here. Even July is colder than June. I forgot to change the rainfall months.
 Two more versions, 60 and 70C warmer. That gives a 5 and 15C annual mean, which matches some colder continental cities and some oceanic or subtropical cities. 60C version still has winter highs below freezing and 70C version has a record high of 56C/133F. 60C is borderline Bsk/Dsa, 70C is Bsk/Bsh depending on which isotherm is used. In spoiler. Vostok, but the record low is 0 Kelvin. Everything else shifted down to match.  |

Now this climate's a bit special - its temperatures were made with a random number generator. It is modelled on a climate like the southern British midlands. I give it rain and sun numbers appropriate for the temperatures it provides. Anyway, I've made 27 year so far; this one is the latest, the year 2046. The random number generator gave us a cool Jan-March, and a very warm May-June. August was horrifically below average and "poor", then suddenly a very warm october, a cold november and very mild december. It isn't a perfect system and some of the month to month changes can be a bit sudden but the randomness of it makes it interesting to see what you get when making each year.  |

The next year of the random generated climate. This one had a boring summer and a cold September, April was also subarctic filth. This year only had a crummy 7 days with thunder.  |

How did you randomly generate that data exactly? I want to do so with some of my fictional climates as well. |

How did you randomly generate that data exactly? I want to do so with some of my fictional climates as well. I use this site: www.random.org/integers/For each month I enter a minimum and maximum temperature range for the number generator to select between, and do this for each day of the month. This can be done for mean temps, or you could do just for max and min temps. So you have to have in mind the kind of climate you want to do first. Like mine is based on the British midlands. To get the kind of variation I have, I have different sets of ranges for each month. I have 6 sets of ranges for every month of the year. Some are colder, some warmer, some more or less variable. I make the random number generator choose the set for each month at random hence not knowing if the next month will be warm/cold or whatever. |

Here are some random fictional climates I created last year, based on some stereotypes of places: 'Los Angeles'  'Moscow'  'Mumbai'  Obviously, the diurnals are a bit rigged to keep things smoothed, but idc  |

More fictional climates, based on stereotypes. 100% accurate, with a ±25% margin of error. Note: This is only to joke about the hilarious misconceptions people (including myself) have about other places. 'Saudi Arabia'- A more extreme version of Riyadh climate-wise, with even larger diurnal temperature ranges, ridiculously low dew-points for temperature, little rainfall, lots-a-sunshine and Death Valley's summers.  'Toronto'- Practically a snowier, yet paradoxically sunnier version of Norlishit, Russia with hopefully less pollution. It is very self explanatory, with ridiculously high, near unrealistic snowfall amounts and a pathetically short and mild summer. Also has a midnight sun and polar night!  'Australia'- What people think of the land down under. Practically Alice Shittings on steroids, with large differences between seasons, high sunshine, low (but not extremely low) rainfall with summer heat occasionally penetrating even during the winter.  |

Should've made that Melbourne crummer significantly colder and cloudier than that lol

I have a massive old spreadsheet from 2010 or so with lots of fictional climates I made up when I was bored or experimenting. Here's a few I had time to put in wikipedia tables.   |

I'd be happy to live in Stolten, wonder how many storms it gets?
