 A quite decently strong C for me for this one. Summers are absolutely beautiful and better than here because of those day temps, not a lot of rain and solid mid-20's temps throughout July and August coupled with relatively long days and therefore late sunsets. Fine by me so far, but winter and late autumn is jut abhorrent due to all that cold rain  I'd pick this one over my own climate because of June-September but besides that not that much to cheer about, but certainly liveable. |

E. Flat out shithouse. Cold hopeless crummers, absurdly wet, and actually no sunshine in winter.

F+. Summer looks nice, although it could be warmer. The rest of the year is hopeless with very frequent cold rain, cloudy, cool shit.

Winters are either commonly foggy or cloudy. It's one of the better places on Vancouver Island for low elevation snow but not good enough. Summers are too dry too.
D for me.

A! Almost a perfect climate. Chilly, rainy winters and pleasant summers. Awesome!  |

A! Almost a perfect climate. Chilly, rainy winters and pleasant summers. Awesome! It sure splits opinion  Looking at it again, I'd have to say my C gets rather weak, mainly as a result of the sheer magnitude of that cold rain  |

E. Lousy, but miles better than Orcadas.

D, the summers bring it up from an F.

I'll rate this one a B because the snow doesn't look like it would last very long.

B
Overall a more continental version of Vancouver.

B-, potentially B+. Lovely summers and great precipitation amounts.

Grade D. A great example of ruined by precipitation but pretty decent average temperature patterns throughout the year.

I give it a D, summers are nice, but winters are too wet and cold. I don't like temps in the low 40F or upper 30F, either go below freezing, or stay above mid 40F. I hate it even more when those temps are coupled with rain.

B+. Oh so close to an A. The only things I don't like about it are that the summer lows and winters in general need to be like 7 degrees warmer. Unlike most people I like tons of rain in a climate.

E
It's not a horrible climate but it just doesn't do anything for me. Plus, the local flora isn't really my cup of tea. For that matter, most of the flora in North America isn't to my liking, except around Colorado and some other areas in the Rocky Mountains.

E. Flat out shithouse. Cold hopeless crummers, absurdly wet, and actually no sunshine in winter. those near zero sunshine % has to be from mountains blocking the sunshine reader. Those percentages seem unrealistic for anywhere but a Torshavn or Aleutian Islands like climate and doesn't match the rest of the Pacific Northwest. Nearby Tofino along the ocean is much wetter but records 24% or so winter sunshine; it doesn't makes sense for Port Alberni to report lower sunshine, should be a bit more en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tofino#ClimateI remember a few other British Columbia with skewed sunshine from mountains as well, sun is at a low angle at its latitude (49ยฐN) so easy for mountains to block the sun. Still, mountains could count in making the place dark but not a good measure of overhead cloudiness. |

Solid D. I think Vancouver is a bit better due to less rain and more sunshine year round.

That's a C. May - September looks perfect, but the rest of the year is a bit too cold. But this is easily much better than all of Scandinavia, and chilly temperatures and snow in January and february isn't that depressing when you know that summer is soon to come.

I assume snow rarely lasts long; totals aren't high but rainfall is very high. Even slush wouldn't last. Might get occasional huge snowstorms but probably a bit worse snow-wise than where you live. How many days of snow on the ground do you get? I'll look up Port Alberni. |
