What do you prefer in a climate? Stable, reliable conditions or variety and instability?
I'm definitely more of a variety guy myself, especially on a year-round basis (though on a day-to-day basis I'd prefer a little more stability than what Saskatoon offers).

Depends on the season:
โข Summer must be varied all the way (stable summers can get fucked).
โข Autumn should have strong monthly variety, but mostly stable on a day-to-day basis.
โข Winter should be stable monthly; but late winter should pick up in variety, especially on a daily basis.
โข Spring must be the most varied and hectic season, even moreso than summer.
Monthly Variability Heirarchy (#1 is most varied; #4 is most stable):
#1 Summer
#2 Spring
#3 Autumn
#4 Winter
Daily/day-to-day Variability Heirarchy (#1 is most hectic; #4 is most relaxed):
#1 Spring, Early Summer
#2 Late Winter, Mid Summer, Late Summer
#3 Mid Winter, Early Winter, Early Autumn
#4 Late Autumn, Mid Autumm

Variability. I want tons of variability all year, especially winter and spring, and year to year variability as well.

Depends on the time of year. I like stability during shoulder seasons and winter. But during summer I like variable weather

Variety from day to day or rather variety of different weather conditions that last multiple days:
Very high variety in late autumn and winter. I want the possibility of hot days until late October, and warm days throughout winter. And the possibility of hard freezes and snowstorms from early Nov onward. Nothing is worse than a stable boring winter.
Low variety in spring. I don't want hard freezes anymore and don't need any heat. Medium variety in summer and early autumn. Freezes are a no-go, and I want the safety that the weather won't be too bad though I appreciate an epic heat wave from time to time and I'm fine with reasonable below average weather (since my ideal summers are warm enough anyway).
Variety from year to year should be medium in my ideal climate. It's nice to be excited what a month will be like but the months shouldn't deviate too much from the ideal averages. In my real climate I want as much year-to-year variety as possible to have the possibility to experience months close to my ideal.

Variability in winter is usually good except for the extreme arctic blasts. Warmer half of the year should be somewhat stable (I want 70s for a long stretch in May not chilly weather or heat) but enough change to be a bit interesting. Not all variety is temperature: changes in sky cover & humidity make the weather interesting with huge temperature changes.

I prefer variable weather in the colder half of the year from arctic blasts to 80+ยฐF days in winter. Warmer half of the year should be more stable but with enough change to be interesting (i.e. I prefer summers to be with temperatures mostly in the high 80s F to low 110s); humidity and cloud cover also makes the weather interesting with occasional tropical dew points as well as very low (below 40ยฐF) dew points.

Variability vs Stability ranking showing percentage of time for each, with Spring being the most variable and Winter the least variable.
1) Winter - 10/90
2) Summer - 50/50
3) Autumn - 70/30
4) Spring - 90/10

Most variable is spring, least is summer. I want some variability in all seasons, but summer variability should be mostly upward and winter mostly downward. Warm spells in winter and cool spells in summer are the worst.

I like variability in all seasons, but midsummer and midwinter should have the least of it. This year in Turku which has been extraordinarily stable has proven to be utterly boring as well, and I've noticed that if no variability is on the cards, I quickly stop caring about the climate and especially models, because they won't offer anything new anyway.
That being said, I don't like extreme day to day variability (read: Denver), but a couple of weeks with only the same weather is mostly accepted only in January or July.

Variability for the most part although I would prefer more stable, comfortable summers. An active thunderstorm season can make up for hot and humid summers.

By numbers, Denver is very variable. Maybe it's me but it didn't seem that variable there. I know that sounds stupid but didn't feel strange going from 27C sunshine to 0C snow within a couple days. Somehow, it felt so natural. That said, summer is the most stable season there though, by far. Spring/autumn are hyper-variable while I'd say winter is moderately variable. |

I want variety on a year round basis, but if the weather literally followed daily averages (+/- 3F) I want that as well.

Variety.
Seasonal changes in temp and precipitation are a must.

Variety (in terms of day to day variation in terms of ambient conditions, and to a moderate degree in terms of overall seasonality) except in annual mean minima, where "control" against extreme cold is valued

In general- variety.

Variety. It keeps things interesting if the weather changes a lot. But Norman can be too variable from October to April, and not variable enough from May to September. I like variation in both temperature and sky cover. I don't want precipitation to be too variable tho, as I don't like drought.

As a general rule, I say I like variability to drop the further average temps climb from freezing. So take Rochester in January, you can see 20ยฐF swings, which gives you some nice thaws. Conversely, here in Phoenix in January, we typically only swing 10ยฐF, which keeps real cold away, the point of moving here in the first place. I don't want to see a day in the 30s when the average high is 65ยฐF+ (looking at you Denver and Dallas)
