Please regrade my latest update of Natashquitlán. I designed a moderated four seasonal climate based on alpine Provence [Gap, Embrun, St Auban, and Roquesteron], Lyon/Grenoble FR, Portland OR, Asheville NC & Charleston WV, SW France (Saint-Girons fuckaann!!, and highland Portugal, Spain, Italy, and California that combines comfort-optimized and harsher, interest-oriented features, using an oceanic logic that rejects traditional notions of continentality dominated by frigid, stable, arctic-based winters and scorching, torrid tropical summers to instead design an alpine Riviera. Winter is full of snow and storms but also quite a few mild sunny days, spring has severe t storms and while late summer is calmer, these storms can still occur at times. Natashquitlán can be described as a semicontinental climate/subtropical highland climate (Köppen Classification: Cfb, Trewartha Classification: Do), situated at 43N on the planet Filixia, with oceanic, continental, and highland influences. The city enjoys a cool-temperate, equitable climate, with cool to cold, rainy and snowy, winters and rather warm, drier, summers, and lies in the USDA 7a hardiness zone. Spring can be slow to arrive, with sunshowery and stormy interludes interspered with mild spells, but by late April and May, the city enjoys pleasant, mild weather and the livongea blossom season. Summers are pleasantly warm, with occasional dry heatwaves raising temperatures into the mid-to-upper nineties, and can turn stormy at times. Autumn features crisp, sunny weather, and frost arriving in mid October, where the foliage erupts in vibrant colors of orange, red, russet, and magenta. Winter is cool, rainy, and at times prone to heavy, wet snow, but also features mild, sunny breaks between storm systems similar to nor'easters and atlantic and pacific windstorms. The area can experience föhn winds from the nearby mountains as well.

Snowfall seems bizarrely (and unrealistically) high. I’ll give it a B Great climate other than the bone dry summers.

Snowfall seems bizarrely (and unrealistically) high. I’ll give it a B Great climate other than the bone dry summers. Was concerned with issues of nonrealism so decided to put lower snow totals in the dream climate tournament, summer rain totals are realistically lower to reduce humidity levels for the most part, perhaps in alternative configurations 4-5" would also be acceptable, I still have significant flexibility with amounts, although I still wouldn't view a monsoonal "spectator summer" as ideal admittedly, I wouldnt downGrade climates for summer rain totals that aremoderate in of themselves al long as humidity levels are acceptable, which is mygreatest concern. I can tokerate humidity soke days in the summer but would want comfortable levels of humidity admittedly for the majority of the duration. Highland italy perhaps come closest to this. I've experimented with monsoonal themes before actually like xitlaliganj, perHap so could design an alternative version with more summer rain and less in spring or other seasons perhaps. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twain_Harte,_California#Geography has similar temps and snow totals but a lot more rain in winter months as well.

A; winter maxima too warm (especially February). Lovely, variable summers.
If winter maxima were, say, 3°-4° C cooler, then it would've been an A+ climate.

B-. Too wet and mild but otherwise good.
Snow does seem unrealistic but I guess it’s like Colorado with more cold rain.

C+ because winter is too cold and snowy and summer lows are too cool.
The version you submitted in the dream climate tournament is a B- because it had less snow.

C+ due to excessive snowfall. With less snow would be B

B. The summer diurnal range is too high for my liking and winters are a bit too snowy, otherwise a pretty good climate.
