(Inspired by JosΓ©) I know this climate is unrealistic with the sharp contrasts between Jan/Dec and the rest but this is what I believe the average Londoner would want London's climate to be like. Overall, this climate is on average sunnier and warmer than the original London, but is colder in December and January for reasons I will get into. Rain is lower in total mm and rainy days too. I think Londoners would still want a month to bitch about so I made January colder than average. This also has the upside of bringing in some more snow which Londoners would normally miss out on. Like the rest of the months, sunshine is much higher than normal. February is much above normal because Londoners are tired of winter by the end of January and want February to be springlike, with much more sun obviously. In March, April and May, temperatures continue to increase and days resemble early normal summer or even normal midsummer by the end of May. By June, July and August, average highs are in the mid to upper 20s, so nothing too hot but warm enough for it to feel like summer. There's quite a bit of a diurnal range tho because no A/C means Londoners hate sleeping when its warm at night, its a national pastime to bitch about it in summer when we don't fall below 17C or something stupid. I've increased the record highs so that Londoners can brag that "it does actually get hot here!". I've also created a Mediterranean precipitation pattern as Londoners are jealous of Med summers but would want some rain so they don't miss out on a few thunderstorms to keep things lively. September is basically an extension of summer because the average London citizen always wants an "Indian summer" so I gave them one. However, by October there's a relatively sharp drop in temperature because October is when Londoners want to feel and dress autumnal-it would feel weird if it was still warm-although, some warm to hot days are thrown in every now and then for excitement. November is slightly cooler but no chance of very warm days as it would feel weird for a Londoner. Finally, December is where you have the biggest contrast. Since we first read a Christmas Carol most Londoners have dreamed of a Victorian winter scene with deep snow lying around at Christmas. I think Londoners would sacrifice it being much colder in than normal in order to fulfil this dream. i still haven't made it too cold tho.

A C+ from me. It's actually not bad, especially considering the plentiful sunshine and dryness, and that the summers would have a semblance of summer.

Well, you London folks can move to Allentown, Pennsylvania. Iβm sure the floundering economy would welcome you. Has seen nothing but Perennial job losses since 1975.

B+, much better than normal London. Winter's a bit too short.

Aβ Winters need to be more even, and summers hotter (especially min temps). Really love the Indian Summer. That snow:average temps ratio too (in Dec)β¦

C-/D+. The very definition of a "meh" climate. I like it more than actual London though.

D+. Love that one-month, anemic summer and how absolutely dry it is year-round; that December is also ridiculous. Well, you London folks can move to Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Excuse me, but how dafuq does this RUBBISH relate to the thread topic, you fucking braindead APE? He's probably just comparing the two because of similar average temperatures between this climate and that of Allentown.

September is basically an extension of summer because the average London citizen always wants an "Indian summer" so I gave them one. September isn't an Indian summer - it's a 3C drop from the last month of summer, and quickly on the way to an even bigger drop(7C) in the following month. An Indian summer is something that I experience here at times - frost in late summer/early autumn, followed by temperatures in an autumn month that are much the same, or even hotter, than one of the preceding summer months. September isn't considered an Indian summer here either; that would usually refer to summerlike weather in October. Using the 'summer temps after the first frost' definition, an Indian summer is pretty much impossible here.

I rate it a C+. It's better than regular London, but I think it's too dry, especially in summer. Also, summer nights could be a bit warmer. February and November are way too warm and make the climate look weird. I don't like how only two months of the year can get freezes or snow. Record lows are too mild outside of summer.

I usually think of it as well above normal temps after the first frost, which would be around 25-27Β°C in OK.

D/E
Both myself and B87 would prefer warmer year round. I certainly donβt want colder winters, also the mind are worse

C. Comfortable but boring, the cold season needs to last a couple months longer.

London goes from a D to a C under this modification.

C-. It's too dry and wayyyyy too sunny. I prefer the real London. The only reason I don't have it lower at a D is due to no snow.
