I improved the climate of Seattle by making it more continental, and making precipitation more evenly spread throughout the year. This climate has warm, somewhat dry summers, and cool, wet winters. Thunderstorms happen more often than in actual Seattle, but still only about 5-10 times a year. Winters are still cold and rainy, but somewhat more precipitation falls as snow, and there's a bit less rain and more sunshine. The average coldest winter temperature is 15F/-9.5C, and the average hottest summer temperature is 97F/36C. Temperatures are somewhat more variable in each month than in actual Seattle. What do you think of it, and do you prefer it over actual Seattle?
I give it a C+, as it's still too cool and dry in summer, and winter is still too warm and wet. But regular Seattle is a C- for me.

C-. Better than the real Seattle; the actual Seattle is a D from me.

Not a real improvement. Gay cool Melbourne crummers and the rest of the year still shit. No storms either. E

Apart from the warmer summers they are still too cool, and winters are worse. This gets an E

D–: IMO, it's worse than the real Shitattle. The real one actually has more snowfall relative to average temps, LOL…why didn't you increase the snowfall more? This is so far king shit.

Not really an improvement in my book; it still has lame just-above-freezing winters and pathetic weak summers, earning it the same D grade as the real Seattle.

I based the ratios more on a continental climate, maybe that's the difference. Also, I cut back on the total precipitation overall in November-January. |

E+ instead of an E
Maybe a D- if I’m being generous

If you want to actually improve Seattle winters, climate genetics wise:
1. Make most of the precipitation come from cold fronts, rather than warm fronts. Less SW flow and more NW flow.
2. Lower winter temps to the point where accumulating snow can be fairly easily achieved without an Arctic airmass. In Seattle it is difficult to get any accumulating snow without an Arctic or at least cold continental airmass.
As for the rest of the year, just raise the highs and lower the lows. You'd probably end up with something similar to Ellensburg, WA, right on the other side of Snoqualmie Pass for summers.

It's worse. D rather than C.

Better.
A- from May-August.
E for the rest of the year.
I'll give it a C- overall. Normal Seattle is D

Slightly better, C. Summer getting very good. Still bad in winter. If I did it, I would make spring and summer warmer and winter colder until I could get a month or two of cold snowy weather. Something like a 50/38 November followed by a 28/17 December, then the opposite change from January to February. Not realistic at all but a much better winter IMO.
