It has my ideal rainfall pattern, more or less, and the year round high temps are favourable. The year round lows, as with most of California, are not warm enough particularly in summer. I'll give it a B+. (updated rating as I thought initial rating was too harsh, plus the snow is pretty awesome even if a little excessive.)  |

A-. Another epic Sierra climate. Aside from thunderstorm counts being too low this climate has pretty much everything I want.

A D or D+ climate. Not bad though for California. That 46C record high though.

D or D+. The precipitation pattern really fucks it up.

D. Nights too cold year round, especially in summer. High temps decent for most of the year, but can still be slightly higher for the warm half of the year.

Aβ; near-perfect winters (Feb is too mild in maxima), and epic snow:rain:temps ratio. Summer could use more precip/storms (+40 mm would be enough), and Jun is far too cool compared to JulβAug. Diurnal ranges generally too high.

D+
Better than NYC and Chicago. But too cool all year round.

B-
Nights are too cold, but summer afternoons are nice; overall too cool year-round.

C. Average mean itself looks mild, diurnal ranges are too harsh to accustom certain temp ranges in a stable length of time.

I hate the big diurnal ranges all year long. Totally stormless dry summers. Not my cup of tea, but it's pretty inoffensive. C.

Valley gets a D.
Glacier Peak and the high country gets a solid B+ / A-

extra comment that I've noticed before: that 115Β°F is suspicious for its elevation (4000 feet). Normal lapse in dry air is 5Β°F / 1000 feet. Assuming even a little lower, say 3.5; that implies Death Valley heat wave temperatures of 129Β°F in the Centra Valley. Record for Fresno is only 115Β°F.
Checking NowData, hottest I can find is 112Β°F in July 2015. Since then, there's been a 109Β°F in August 1977 and 108Β°F in September 1976. I don't understand what's going on; Merced reached only 103Β°F that same day in August 1977. Nights much hotter in Merced. Maybe the valley creates a hot microclimate in the right heat wave setup?

The summer highs are way too warm.

Ultimately I picked a C because of the May average snowfall. Average high temperatures through the year are basically perfect, but the lows are too cold and the record lows are nuts in the spring and summer. I wouldn't want to live somewhere that can get down to -10'C (14'F) in June. I could also use a bit more precipitation in the summer, but at least the winters are nice and snowy with those average temperatures.
