Figured this might be fun, if your dream climate has an annual range less than 30 f, make a climate with double the range. If your dream climate has an annual range more than 30 f, half it. Going to make the continental lovers create a boring climate and the mild lovers create a continental climate. My dream climate has an annual range of 35.5 f, 35.5/2 = 17.75 so it would need to be under 17.8 f. Came up with this climate. Winter would have to be mild with boring temps so I made it wetter—precipitation falls as cold fronts bringing a mix of thunderstorms, light rain and wet snow. Because winter is wetter than ideal, I made spring drier. Summer gets lots of thunderstorms.  |

What if my dream climate's annual range is exactly 30 F already?

What if my dream climate's annual range is exactly 30 F already? Good question, you can do either 15 f or 60 f then |

My current real climate basically is my dream climate with double the annual range, that was easy

Steelernation I always love threads like this. My dream climate ranges from a mean of 46.3ºF in January to 78.6ºF in July (32.3ºF range), so I will turn the range to half (16.2ºF). Surprised that my dream climate's range is over 30ºF actually, but it's a testament to the heat of summer that I like.
Here's what I came up with. Winters are a bit milder, summers a bit milder, and lows are very uniform across the year, as diurnal variation peaks in summer. I kept rainfall pattern, amounts, and records generally the same, with only minor edits. Pretty amazing climate IMO, still gets an A easily.

My dream climate has an annual range of 27F. I was looking at Yerevan's climate, it's pretty ideal for a climate with such a large annual range.  |

Add 5C to both the highs and lows and it will be a very nice climate

Add 5C to both the highs and lows and it will be a very nice climate July would average 39.5/24.9 C (103.1/76.8 F). So, a bit warmer than ideal. January would average 6.7/-2.7 C (44.1/27.1 F). I'm not sure if the milder winter makes the hotter summer worth it, personally. |

Lows are too cold annually

Great idea Steelernation! Everyone has to make some compromises  My dream climate's annual range is 11ºC (19.8ºF), so the new 'ideal' climate would have a range of 22ºC (39.6ºF). Here it is: (click below)  IMO, it has a perfect balance of warmth and coolness (6 months each); while still having a large annual range (due to the sharp winter drop off). I did not change the sunshine nor rainfall amounts; but added snowfall (as cold fronts bring precipitation year-round; whether as t-storms, downpours or snow). I made my summers warmer more humid (but not oppressive) to compensate for the cold, relatively dry winters. Overall, I would give it a C+, as summers are a little too warm at night and winters are too cold and snowy; along with the seasonal lead in summer. |

My dream climate has only around 8 degrees F of variation, so here's one with 16 degrees F of variation:
