Tweaked precipitation and record highs.
edit: sunshine hours tweaked, a few less days with precipitation and annual RH 3% smaller.

As you can see my dream climate doesn't have sun percentages. That is because the latitude has changed, as have the sunshine distribution.
Is there any site or source where you can easily calculate average daylight hours by latitute?

Yes, I know, but you have to explain to me like I'm 5 how to calculate it based of the daylight hours. 5 was my average grade in maths in high school, and we use a 4 to 10 scale.

For a 31 day month, pick the 16th and then divide the minutes/60, add that to the hours and multiply by 31 to get possible daylight. For a 30 day month, take the average of the 15th and 16th and multiply by 30. For February the average of the 14th and 15th and multiply by 28.25. Say July has 15 hours and 2 minutes of daylight on the 16th. 2/60 = 0.03. 0.03 + 15 = 15.03. 15.03 * 31 = 466.03 daylight hours. Divide the sunshine hours by that to get percent. |

16 March has 11 hours 53 minutes of daylight. 713 minutes x 31 = 22,103 I don't know from where to go from there. I don't understand what 0.03 00.3 + 15 etc means. I said explain to me like I'm 5, not 15. I'm clinically math . Thanks for trying though!
IDK what the reason for my math retardation is, I just don't get it. Must be that my brain is somehow wired wrong, because I cannot connect the dots. I can give you a 10 hour lecture about the industrial revolution in Europe, but in maths I'm hopeless. I can add, substract, multiply and divide, and I know percentages, but other than that, it's jibberish, pig latin, whatever.

March has 171 sun hours in your dream climate so 171/368.38 = 46.4% possible sunshine. |

For June and December, I take midpoint between 9th & 30th/31st then multiply the total day of month to get the hours. Should be close enough to the actual value outside of the Equatorial and Polar region. This is the fastest way to calculate without opening extra tab of excel/sheets.

I also found this site that shows you the total daylight hours by month if you don't want to do the maths. en.tutiempo.net/daylight-hours/melbourne.html The results differed from timeanddate by two hours, but that's still pretty close. I can't find the search function to change the city, but you can always change the URL path to whatever city you want. Another way is to place your marker on the map en.tutiempo.net/daylight-hours/and it will produce the data. |

Here is my latest Dream Climate. Concreenhouse is located on a landmass with a high thermal conductivity and radiational properties. Its dry and sunny winters see big diurnal range of temperature. It also suffers from a runaway greenhouse effect in warm sunny weather, and so can record very high temperatures especially in the pre-summer period. Then, it has a three to four month monsoon season from June-September, in which nearly daily thunderstorms occur and nights are warm due to high cloud cover and ground dampness keeping temps up overnight. After all that is over, it then cools down quickly from October onwards. Here was the year of 2023:  |

Morphing a shit climate into a "dream" climate. Sometimes I take a shit year from a shit climate like Buxton (1,000ft MSL) 2012, and using Excel spreadsheet I gradually morph the year's data into something better in a series of iterations. So we go from this:  Then if it were moved to sea level it'd be more like this:  To this, whereby winter frontal precip is reduced, summer convective precip increased, adding sunshine hours and max temps slightly increasing more tweaking the daily data.  Now it looks like somewhere in SE England but with drier winters:  Until finally it bares no resemblence to Fuxton's original climate.  |

I do this with wiki boxes in random places. Take a dry desert, or steamy climate, and shift the temps / precip until it's a decent continental climate. Or take some frozen Siberian place and warm it up. I usually forget about it after a few minutes instead of saving them, though... |

That climate is one of the ones I like to play around with, "for fun", adding stuff like non-earthly greenhouse effects, extra-conductive surfaces/landmasses etc... I also do the climate morphs where I make climates (including my own) more continental, or oceanic. I just have one big spreadsheet and each time I make a year it goes in another worksheet. The spreadsheet is so big now it takes ages to save... |

Crunch41 for example, I dreamified Sheffield's climate while keeping the same mean temp, by making it much sunnier and "conductive" therefore, cooling more at night and warming more in the day. It has correspondingly very little rainfall, and a temperature profile I prefer. Over 5 years it went from this:  To this:

"Dreamifying a crap climate" - this time turning Sheffield 2023 into a progressively more "Mediterranean" climate. Here, I've just done one iteration. In each iteration, I only make smallish changes, then the next iteration would see me morph Iteration 1 into an even more Mediterranean climate. Haven't got time for that. But u can see how it would go. It would get milder still, with even drier summers.   |
