Omg. I thought maybe I could make these again for Turdku, but after those there's no point except for the coldest months.

I compared the averages for Sheffield back in the early 20th century. It was MUCH duller, mostly due to the amount of out of control pollution before the clean air act. But temperatures weren't much different, except in winter a bit. Rainfall was lower too and many of the dry month records happened in this period, all the wettest month records are much later. The 1981-2010 values are below these for comparison.   |

 Warm Green Bay is Cfa and has what most individual years don't around here: a full three-month summer! I remember the January, March, November, and December, and those were all quite good months; this is our climate at its best.  Cold Green Bay is Dfb on the other hand, and I'm honestly surprised it didn't turn out subarctic, though a sub-50'F September would make me feel like puking more than this does already. Where's summer? And what did winter do to my October? Note that the sunshine totals are actually the years used for each month. Otherwise they would be literally impossible. I'd give Warm Green Bay a C, and Cold Green Bay an F. |

I've done this type of thing before, but one fun thing to do is to ask a relative or friend about what they think their hometown's climate averages are, if they're willing and don't think it's too nerdy, that is. I asked someone I know for the numbers for Sheffield, and put them into a wikipedia table. Remember most people don't have much of a clue about weather, so I had to do a bit of explanation about the rainfall/sunshine hours measurements, and this was then what they guessed for Sheffield:  Those sunshine hours though! Holy mackerel. It's just for fun and not to mock anyone, everyone knows different things, but it's interesting to see how people perceive the climate, anyway. |

For fun I did a weather box with the months with the most thunder days, during the time of my records. Not including when I lived in the SE where storms were more frequent, don't have data for that. All the months here are from either Buxton or Lincoln where I also lived for a time. Can anyone work out which of either place these months are from?  |

The sunniest January in Tokyo has more sun hours than the sunniest June. June has much more daylight so I thought summer would still have higher record sun hours even though it has a lower sunshine percentage. ( Cadeau 's post)  |

June has much more daylight so I thought summer would still have higher record sun hours even though it has a lower sunshine percentage. ( Cadeau 's post) I think it's because the influence of the Tsuyu(Monsoon season) front often gets dominant in June and fewer chances of interfered by high pressure than other summer months. Only 6 years out of 130 years of total sunshine record history(since 1891) had over 200 hours in June lol. - Sunniest January in Tokyo Rank: Sunshine Hours / Percentage (Year) 1st: 243.9 / 79% (2011) 2nd: 236.6 / 76% (1997) 3rd: 226.7 / 73% (1902, 2017) 5th: 224.2 / 72% (1995) 6th: 222.2 / 72% (2019) 7th: 221.9 / 72% (2010) 8th: 218.9 / 71% (1891) 9th: 218.4 / 71% (1981) 10th: 217.0 / 70% (1999) Sunniest June in Tokyo Rank: Sunshine Hours / Percentage (Year) 1st: 241.1 / 56% (1894) 2nd: 218.4 / 50% (1940) 3rd: 217.4 / 50% (1946) 4th: 215.8 / 50% (1922) 5th: 208.6 / 48% (1900) 6th: 202.9 / 47% (1979) 7th: 193.3 / 44% (1987) 8th: 188.8 / 43% (1895) 9th: 187.3 / 43% (1936) 10th: 187.2 / 43% (2007) |

I'm qurious how you phrased the sun hour question. Did you ask them what percentage of the day they think the sun is out, or how many hours per day they think the sun shines, or straight up how many hours in a month? Because I feel like most people don't really have a good grasp of how many total hours there are in a month. |

I asked how many hours a day/month, and gave them an idea of the typical max/min hours a month that have occurred in a typical month here. |

Cherrypick Melbourne Airport. I tried to find the best combination of seasonality, record highs, record lows, and a med precip pattern. Jan = 2019 Feb = 1997 Mar = 2017 Apr = 2018 May = 2016 Jun = 2013 Jul = 1984 Aug = 1989 Sep = 2016 Oct = 2014 Nov = 2017 Dec = 2015  |

Here’s my new cherrypick Fort Collins. I only changed changed July and August. This gets an A+.  |

This should be fun. I took all the figures from these months: Jan2006 Feb2018 Mar2010 Apr2017 May1991 Jun1949 July1999 Aug1980 Sep2010 Oct2017 Nov2006 Dec2015. It's very similar to my dream climate except it's got much seasonal lag instead of my ideal slight seasonal lead. Nevertheless that's a pretty minor flaw and this climate still earns an A+, it's a Mediterranean paradise fucken!  |

Cherrypick hot and cold contiguous US. Didn’t just do by means but what was interesting to me so both have an asterisk. The hottest is by average high—it looks more impressive  Jan: Oasis, FL Feb: Royal Palm, FL Mar: Rio Grande Village, TX Apr: Rio Grande Village, TX May: Death Valley, CA Jun: Death Valley, CA Jul: Death Valley, CA Aug: Death Valley, CA Sep: Death Valley, CA Oct: Death Valley, CA Nov: Royal Palm, FL Dec: Royal Palm, FL Coldest is by means. Mount Washington was the coldest nearly every month so I excluded it, that would’ve been boring. Jan: Edmore, ND Feb: Edmore, ND Mar: Allagash, ME Apr: Climax, CO May: Climax, CO Jun: Crater Lake, OR Jul: Climax, CO Aug: Climax, CO Sep: Climax, CO Oct: Darwin Ranch, WY Nov: Darwin Ranch, WY Dec: Edmore, ND  |

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.  I thought about doing this for Raleigh but you did it back in 2019. The idea was from something in the shoutbox about Raleigh having chilly weather in summer. Either Yahya Sinwar or Cevven. Compared to the average Raleigh summer, the coolest days are chilly and soggy.
