This should be interesting. This climate battle will pit cold Saint Cloud, Minnesota agains the fictional climate I created, of that same name, except translated into Spanish, inspired by a shoutbox discussion last week. Saint Cloud, Minnesota  Santa Nube, with its tropical semiarid climate. It is aptly named however, as it is actually very cloudy  |

Santa Nube, quite an interesting fictional climate

I'll go with Santa Nube. It's meh, but it lacks extreme cold and snow, so it wins.

Why are all of your fictional climates so unrealistic?
The tiny ass diurnals, lack of rain, and paucity of anything remotely interesting in Santa Nube are so horrific that it almost makes me want to pick St Cock, a subarctic shithole, instead.

They're not unrealistic, though they take a rare combo of conditions. Santa Nube falls within the realm of possibility. Sure the midsummer is a bit extreme, but geography could allow for this. It'd be situated next to a mild ocean at equatorial latitude, getting marine-dominated conditions for most of the year, save for the short hot season with its wind reversal, increasing convection. In other words, it's akin to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portoviejo#Climate in Ecuador, with slightly more temp variation.
Regardless, Santa Nube's inspiration, beyond its cloudiness, was simply to be the extreme opposite to St Cock, and in this, it's pretty much succeeded. Of course, I understand why you'd choose St Cock over this, considering your least favorite weather is those 75ºF/70ºF dry cloudy northgaysterlies that your part of FL seems to get too often.

Sorry dude, but that Portoviejo data is completely fake. Here are Ecuador's normals submitted to the WMO for the 1981-2010 period: www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/normals/WMO/1981-2010/RA-III/Ecuador/RECOPILACION%20DATOS%20ECUADOR.csvHighest monthly mean temp is 26.6 C in March and April |

Portoviejo's wiki data, and other Ecuadorian coastal cities with suspect data sources (ClimateData) were the closest I could find. |

Why would the wind reversal happen in June and last for only that month lthough? Portoviejo’s is a couple months after the solstice because the ocean currents experience some seasonal lag- no idea if this is due to oceanic seasonal lag from water’s thermal capacity or some other factor. |

It's a fictional climate, but presumably the wind reversal in Santa Nube would last from June thru September actually, with some more marine moisture in the months after as oceans warm a bit. It would be driven by a shifting high/low pressure gradient, I guess. |

I don't like either at all really. Both have an equal number of tolerable/intolerable months for different reasons, but overall neither scores over a D/E.

St. Cloud. I don't like either, but Santa Nube's tiny diurnals and complete lack of cool weather are especially off-putting.

Santa Nube, it's an interesting concept for a fictional climate

Santa Nube. Heat over cold any day. Don't want my plants dead during a freeze as an avid gardener.

St Cloud cause it has real seasons although it is far from perfect

Santa Nube- as much as dislike the cloudiness and lack of much rain, the temps are much better (although the days should be warmer and nights should be cooler)
