Sochi is probably the most well-known Russian city with subtropical climate, but one important thing about it is that it is also a very large city with high amount of microclimates. One of them is this, Sochi Olympic Park:
It lacks precipitation data. There is data about Sochi City overall but it may be different in Olympic Park so take this precip data for this exact place with a grain of salt.
Sorry it has all stuff written in Russian..
If someone don't understand, well..
Абсолютный максимум - Record high
Средний максимум - Average high
Средняя температура - Daily mean
Средний минимум - Average low
Абсолютный минимум - Record low
Still it is easy to notice how warm most temperatures are even when compared to most other parts of Sochi (though at least some places further southeast may be even warmer, but they completely lack data). I'd say it can be considered one of the best examples of Russian subtropical climates. And ye, I was there, and there's a whole lot of palm trees - Phoenix, Washingtonia, Butia, Chamaerops, Trachycarpus, Jubaea..
I'd personally rate this place a B, because I'm more of a "temperate climate type of person" and I prefer climate to be cooler, but still - subtropics are nice, and Sochi Olympic Park climate is one of the best Cfas I ever saw)
