@cheeshead had a great idea, describe your dream climate to ChatGPT and see what averages it creates. It gives you a range so I just picked the middle of the range. Also assumes a 10:1 snowfall ratio since it gives rainfall and snowfall separately. This climate is actually pretty good, October-April is too cold but otherwise its accurate. I said I wanted mild winters and it originally gave me 32 f highs, changed that to somewhat warm winters and this is what it got me, not sure it understood that well. The prompt I have it is pretty extensive but just imagining me describing my dream climate. Also had it generate a February forecast for this place and this is what it got: High 50 Low 30 ⛅️ 20% chance snow High 48 Low 32 🌥️ 10% chance snow High 52 Low 29 ⛅️ 5% chance snow High 55 Low 33 🌤️ High 51 Low 28 🌥️ 10% chance snow High 46 Low 27 ☁️ 20% chance snow High 49 Low 30 ⛅️ 10% chance snow Interesting the forecast was a lot warmer than the averages. A bit boring but for a stable, boring period in February this would be a really good week.

I’ll try this later tonight or tomorrow. Seems cool.

Cool thread idea! Here's what chatGPT gave me.
While it's not identical to my dream climate, it's impressively close. I'd still easily give it an A+. My main issues are that autumn is too wet (I specifically stated that autumn is the driest season in my prompt, looks like ChatGPT just ignored that) and snowfall totals are a bit scuffed. June and July are also too gloomy for my liking. I also asked GPT to name the climate. It's interesting that it chose "Emerald Valley", especially since the name I chose for my actual dream climate is "Myrnong Valley", and I never mentioned anything about my dream climate's local geography, just its typical weather conditions.
Here is my actual dream climate for comparison. I've updated it since I last posted on the dream climates thread.
I still think ChatGPT is overrated. I spent more time trying to generate a weather box than I would've by just making one manually.

ChatGPT just gave me the average weather of a typical Mediterranean climate. To be fair, it is quite close to my actual dream climate.

Good job for ChatGPT here, but it messed up giving February and November freezes for their record lows. The climobox and what information I fed ChatGPT is below it.
Steelernation great thread idea, and I'm gonna try this with generating past monthly summaries later.
And here's a late February weekly forecast it made
55F/45F 🌧
57F/46F 🌦 59F/48F 🌦 59F/50F 🌥 61F/50F 🌩 63F/52F ⛅️
63F/52F ⛅️

Wow that’s really detailed Mets. I just told mine to make a climate with warm to hot, dry summers and cool rainy winters, with sunny summers and mostly cloudy winters.

I tried some more last night, having it make more-detailed tables with record temperatures. Before even entering a prompt, it just decided to generate this climate (which looks more like a Benny or Beercules dream climate than anything): So then, actually wanting to generate an ideal climate, I put in this prompt: "Let's go with a climate with mild to warm winters and warm to hot summers. Precipitation is decent year-round, though there's a bit more in winter than in summer, and the majority of the precipitation throughout the year falls in the form of thunderstorms. There can be epic heat spikes in the summer leading to brief spells of very hot conditions." And it gave me this, with COOL winters, crap record lows year-round, and a completely opposite rain pattern: I tried to fine-tune it a bit. Took 3 tries for it to understand that "mild to warm winters" does not mean that North Florida-esque cool crap, but at least it understood my desired precipitation pattern. This time, it made summer averages a little too hot though, and I still got filth for record lows. I then made it excruciatingly clear that I didn't want those subfreezing record lows, so it then revised it to this steambath. I'll have to monkey around with it some more today and see if I can get better results.

Today's second attempt, even more ridiculous: Somehow, it still thought it had understood my prompt: "In this version, the average summer highs are in the lower 90s, and the record highs are in the range of 120 F. The winter record lows are above 45 F, and the winter precipitation is higher than summer precipitation, with about 5 inches per month in winter and 2-3 inches per month in summer." Maybe someone else can figure out how to actually get it to generate a climate that satisfies my requirements...this one is just wack, those summers are hotter than Phoenix.

It made this from my commands. This is too cool, and sunshine hours are too seasonal/uneven, and probably is also too dry. My annual avg. temp is about 16°C. Anyway it's much more fun to develop my own climate in real time.

I had to limit the climate parameters because of the restricted output length. And my description was too parsimonious, this climate is colder than preferred:

These are not dream climates, but I gave ChatGPT some prompts and asked it to create monthly averages. Subtropical paradise: Seems awfully humid and rainy in summer. Tropical paradise, or tropical hell? Alpine resort: Monsoonal hellhole: ChatGPT scolded me for using the word "hellhole" but did an excellent job here. Those temperatures, rainfall totals, and dew points in summer are indeed hellish.

Donar that climate's even colder than my actual climate, yikes! fairweatherfan Yeah it seems to think of 'subtropical' as being very close to 'tropical'. That first climate would be excellent if it weren't for the washed out summer. This is apparently "a warm subtropical climate with a rainfall peak in winter":

I like the descriptions it generates for fictional climates.
The coastal town of Seabreeze:
The city of Palm Shore:
The city of Ocean Breeze:

I asked ChatGPT for a pleasant climate and it gave me my dream climate. Proof that my dream climate is best.
