80Fs and 90Fs are atrociously hot? It's all about the means.
34/14 would've been uncomfortable, but manageable and no need for any A/C at night.
34/25 on the other hand is mental and beyond anything I've ever experienced. It's what makes Florida and Houston an enduring nightmare in summer, pretty much.

Speagles84Castle Black seems much too cold still. No one could live with -50/-80 f averages and no modern technology. Maybe something like -20/-35 would be more reasonable. There’s also trees north of the wall so it would have to be a bit warmer in summer. Maybe something like Baker lake with more snowfall. Winterfell also seems to cold. They have woods nearby so it can’t be borderline tundra, maybe something like Bettles, AK or a bit warmer like Fairbanks. The southern ones I don’t think are that hot in the summer, maybe 90/70 at most. I also don’t get the very small diurnal ranges, those are quite unrealistic. They also should be much wetter, with those temps they’d be almost semi-arid but Highgarden was a big agricultural area in the show.

I am open to suggestions on changing the climates, I just threw out some rough drafts essentially
The Dragonstone scenes were shot in the Basque Country, and being just a tad north of King's Landing it might correspond quite closely to the according climate: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bermeo#ClimateOr maybe that would represent the Stormlands?
Dorne is something what you would find in Spain, which was the inspiration for GRRM for the Dornish. Maybe inland it would be like this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledo,_Spain#Climate
The Eyrie is supposed to represent the Alps environment. For example in season one, Bronn and Tyrion get ambushed by the Hill Tribes, who are then recruited into Tywin's army. The area was lush so it might be like a real Alpine valley: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innsbruck#Climate
The Riverland flora is stereotypically Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrritish, so on the coast maybe Irish, and inland like London? On the border to the Norffff maybe Scottish?

The Wildlings are offered land south of the wall which should support agriculture. The village Ygritte's posse attacks killing Olly's family seem to be pastoral. So going from north to south in the North, I would say the Wall is somewhere cold in Lapland, while the area south is probably something like Rovaniemi: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rovaniemi#Climate
Winterfell might be something like Umeå.

Riverrun, looks vaguely like Scandanavia. Record highs are awful though.
If I had to live without power, none of these are good. The first few and the last are deadly, Riverrun and Eyrie, and Storm’s end are livable but cold, and the rest have hot summers. Lannisport is probably best.

Riverrun.
Eyrie - Too cool for summer even in my taste
Storm's End - Too wet

Ignoring the made up tables, Winterfell seems like a good subarctic spot. The wall and further north looks polar.

Riverrun is supposed to be a temperate climate similar to London, not Trondheim, unless I'm mistaken.

Lannisport for me, cool winters with a nice amount of snow and hot summers. Sort of reminds me of high parts of central US such as Albuquerque. In fact, having a close look, the daytime maximum temps and records are remarkably similar to that place. Minimums of course much cooler being quite a high altitude location of about 1600 metres above sea level. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albuquerque,_New_Mexico |

Kings Landing. Very good temps, hopefully it gets a decent amount of storms.

Kings Landing has low rainfall in summer, so I doubt there would be many storms. Although, precip may dominantly come from storms dropping heavy amounts of rain, with it otherwise remaining dry throughout summer.
