Crunch41 Can you do coldest/warmest days in Kansas City? Start with January 1896, not July 1888 (beginning of weather records). For some reason, 1894 and 1895 are both missing data for January, November, and December. No idea why. There are days missing for those months but most of the data is there. I can start in 1896 if you want but the formulas already ignore missing data so there's no point to do that.

Yes sir, February 18, 1979. That day has a high of -13 C and a low of -26 C, impressive cold for us!! Btw, it's been -14 F here in the US much further south than DC.  Also on the coast?? |

Oh okay! Just go from the beginning then. |

Nah, not on the coast, but I wouldn't exactly call DC being on the coast either.... For your curiosity, here's a list of record minimums by state. As you can see, all southern states with the exception of Florida have eclipsed -14 F (-26 C) or lower.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state_temperature_extremesen.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state_temperature_extremes |

I have it mostly automated now, so it goes fast especially for US stations since the data is always in the same format. The slowest part is making this post. Here is Kansas City. Coldest, Hottest, Wettest, and Snowiest days. Coldest max temps is a Dwb with mild monsoonal summers and stable arctic winters. Summer might get some storms, maybe? Zero hot days, ever.  Coldest min temps is a Dfb/Dwb, bordering on semi-arid. Summer is surprisingly nice with a few wet days and lots of dry ones. A chance at 30C, too.  Coldest average temps is a Dwc, but not as wet as the coldest max temps. Annual mean is below freezing. Only about half the days in summer have rain, so it must have a few cool, sunny days mixed in when cold air pushes down from Canada.  Hottest max temps is a Bwh, a hot desert climate with occasional rain. Stable high temperatures, but winter nights can be frosty.  Hottest min temps is a Csa, a hot Mediterranean climate with very stable weather, hot summers and zero frost or snow.  Hottest average temps is also Bwh but with a Mediterranean rainfall pattern. July still has a record low of 79!  WET
Wettest Days is a Cfa, summer is noticeably cooler than normal KC and there is strong seasonal lag but January is close to normal. Normal KC has a mean temp of 54F (airport), so very rainy days tend to be a bit warmer than average.  Snowiest Days is a Dfa with very wet, snowy winters. Since it never snows in summer, the formula picks the oldest day on record which is usually 1888 or 1889. So the summer months are "normal" KC weather. It's interesting to see that it has a high of 76! in November. That was the infamous November 11, 1911 that had a 76/11F day with 0.2" snow (24/-12, 0.25cm).  KC has seen 15 days with a max of 60F or higher and measurable snow. Two other extreme ones were November 21, 1898 (64/8F with 1.2", 18/-13C with 3cm) and December 14, 2008 (60/6F with 0.4", 15/-14C with 1cm) |

Continental Trondheimsfjord - actual months in Steinkjer at the northern head of Trondheimsfjord (two stations with official data), 64°N. Cherrypicked from 2002 - 2018.
So this will be a typical year in 2030s (?), as the climate warms, the Arctic warms the most and the polar vortex weakens to give us the surprise of the warmer climate...the door to the freezer in the Arctic is left open in winter. But as the Arctic gets warmer, the freezer isn't as cold as before, so extremes are avoided and the old all-time lows can not be matched.
The winter months are not dry, and a long lasting snowpack must be expected.
A climate also able to support many types of crops.
Very little sunshine data from this region of the world, only the most recent years: Jan (2016) - 46 sunhrs
May (2018) - 316 sunhrs Sep (2017) - 186 sunhrs

^That's a really good climate, I'd live there. Much better than normal Trondheim.

Gander's snowiest ever years (average July and August inserted). For those who love frozen precipitation and interesting weather it looks rather epic... knot , 🖕🏿Mörön🖕🏿 . This is a step too far for myself though...  E- Sources:
Some years might have a slight 0.1 difference between the monthly and daily reports, but I decided to use the daily ones since that's the sources I posted.

Lommaren you should have picked the coldest or wettest summer months, just to make it more subarctic. Epic snow, but too much of it, and it has too much winter rain. June and September are not as bad as they could be. Any precipitation day counts?
Edit:
January 29 February 19 March 24 April 21 May 21 June 19 July/August n/a
September 18 October 25 November 25 December 27
Edit2: I'll rate it a D. Too wet and cold

It wouldn't be Newfoundland without the three-week summer  That being said, in theory I could've done so, but I didn't do wettest months, I did snowiest months which sometimes isn't the same. September for example was rather dry in this scenario. |

Lommaren Straddles very closely on A+, that one! My rating for it is A, however—just needs more variable summers for A+.

Wanted to cherrypick months from the few years after sunrecording started here, so from January 2016. But decided to take a few months from 2015 as there have been only poor August latest years and 2015 was better. So sunshine data for Aug is from Oslo - that Aug in 2015 Oslo had more precip days and slightly colder avg highs than Trondheim, so probably Trondheim had a little more sun than this. Also, Dec is 2015, sunhrs are estimated, it's anyway the very darkest month up here.
I decided not to go further back even if 2014 would give some interesting months incl a warmer July.
These are cherrypiced as interesting months. Some months are cold, like Feb and a fairly cold Oct, but incl as they were interesting and/or sunny, but avoiding a sunnier but very cold March as I did not want a too cold spring month, but chose a colder but sunnier June. You don't have so much to choose from with so few years.
Might later do a cherrypick for a year good for growth. For that I would put in some other months, not as dry or with as cold lows as here.
If I cherrypiced the driest months and used all years, annual precip would be just over 100 mm.

Cherrypicked to avoid spring & summer drought, better for growth:
Milder Feb (2017 now) but not as mild as removing all snow, wetter Apr (2018) to prepare for that sunny May, much wetter June (2017) to avoid drought that July, kept that relatively dry Sep, and chose to keep the cool and sunny Oct (2016).

I made cherrypicks of Raleigh's hottest and coldest days since 1887 using crunch's spreadsheet formulas. The hot one is an Aw climate with warm winters and hot summers. The humidity probably wouldn't be too horrible, as most of NC's hottest summer days occur with dews around 60F/16C. The winter one is a Dwb climate with a one month dry season in January that could probably maintain a snowpack from December to early April.  |
