What are your biggest complaints with the climate you reside in?
I'll go first:
- Winters are too mild. I'm tired of all these days with highs well into the 50s and lows staying in the 40s. This mild bullshit is only getting more common as time goes on.
- We get our heaviest winter precipitation from warm subtropical atmospheric rivers but I wish it came from cold fronts instead. That would maximize the percentage of precip falling as snow.
- Not enough thunderstorms.
- Average summer highs are a bit too cool for my liking.

I love my climate, but there are some things that I don’t like about it.
- summers are nice, but I would prefer warmer temperatures overall
- Winter has good temperatures, but it’s too stable. Average low is about 42F, but 32F (freezing) only occurs once per year on average.
- I love the Mediterranean climate and overall rainfall amount, but I would prefer the contrast between the wet and dry seasons to be less strong. Less heavy rain in winter, shorter/less extreme dry season preferred.
- too windy overall

For the most part my climate is enjoyable (New Bern is a B climate), though here's a few complaints.
• Summers, although generally good with lots of lovely heat and humidity and storms, aren't completely immune to bullshit cold fronts and low dewpoints (this isn't south Florida or Doha or Bangkok, oftentimes there are clear boring ass 80°F afternoons with bone dry dews that feel hotter than a mostly sunny 90/75°F temp/dewpoint combo, i.e. fake heat).
• Risk of crappy spring months (e.g. Gaypril 2020 and May Gay 2023) complete with cold fronts and stratocrapulus and fuck all storms.
• Cold air damning ("the wedge") during winter and spring that comes with protracted periods of cold overcast and hurricane force northeasterlies
• Thunderstorms developing over the Piedmont of NC, and then dying in the ass during the evening as they approach here

Most complaints are in the November-April period, the warmer half of the year is mostly good.
-Arid winters where it doesn’t rain for months
-Lots of useless dry, sunny cold
-Cold winter nights making you have to bundle up in the morning/evening even when afternoons are pleasant
-Boring stable temps in winter outside of a few days
-Not enough heavy snow, most snow is pretty light
-Wind attack in spring
-Not enough thunderstorms
-Drought prone summers where it rarely rains
-Monotone brown, dead landscape from November-mid April

Here are some of the top of my head: - Winters are getting too mild. - Not enough snow, frost, and other wintry phenomena. - Winter and fall are too cloudy. - Polar intrusions in spring (April, May) and fall (September). These intrusions don't come when they need to (winter), but they regularly come in spring or fall just to fuck up the season. - May and September aren't warm enough. A big temperature drop going from August into September is especially infuriating. - We do get some thunderstorms, but I want more high-quality storms and less fizzlers.
- Chilly summer lows sometimes

Winters are a few degrees too cold.
There are fuck all thunderstorms.
These are the only problems imo.

- Extreme heat in summer, where lows frequently fail to drop below 35°C.
- Extreme summer humidity with frequent >31°C dew points.
- Frequent dust.
- Very low precipitation of less than 80 mm.
- The coldest winter days come with gale force winds, making it really hard on the body.

New London, CT (C+):
- Winter and spring too cold
- Too much snow and ice
- Not enough thunderstorms
San Luis Obispo, CA (B-):
- Too dry overall, especially in summer, but even winter rain is unreliable
- Boring temps year-round with too little seasonal variation, nearly incapable of temperatures much below freezing
- Nearly incapable of dew points, lows, or rain above 20c.
- Too sunny in summer
- Even fewer thunderstorms
Seattle, WA (C):
- A bit too cool year-round
- Winters too cloudy and dark with short days
- Too dry (both rainfall and humidity) in summer, nearly incapable of high dew points or warm rain
- Almost all rain is light and it feels like it's raining forever even if it didn't get much rain
- Once again, not enough thunderstorms

- Frigid winters with average highs below freezing and quite a bit of snow
- Springs that can be painfully slow to get going, snow in April most years although it melts very quickly
- Summers that border on crummer territory, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s possible even in July, and fewer than two weeks of 90+ highs on average per year

Ulladulla is a B.
- Not enough day-to-day variation in all seasons
- Not enough diurnal variation on most days
- Not enough downpours thunderstorms in summer
- Dry, overcast days being rather frequent, particularly in summer
- No warm rain (+25ºC)

- Summers are too bipolar. I do like some variability in summer (and all seasons in general) to keep things interesting, but sometimes our day-to-day temp swings are too much. For example, going from 40C to 20C the next day.
- Winters on the other hand are too stable. We have coolish averages but below freezing temps only happen once to twice a year here on average, and practically never in the CBD.
- A lot of drizzly days that don't amount to much rain even if it feels quite wet
- Not enough thunderstorms
- Not enough warm rain

- Spring, summer and autumn too cool - Winter too long - Too much overcast in winter - Not enough thunderstorms - No warm rain - Too little day-to-day variation for the most part - Sun dial only has two settings: full overcast for weeks or full sunshine for weeks

The only thing I dislike about my climate is watching a big angry storm making a beeline for my coastal suburb, only to have it collapse within a mile of home as it comes up upon the coastal shear winds.... friggin' frustrating !!   |

- Winters are bit too cloudy than what I want
- Small diurnal range in winter (Also daily high often marks in the middle of night)
- Intense heatwave comes almost every year(especially in the recent decade) - not good for an oceanic lover
- Wish thunderstorms were less frequent but not bad by global standard

- The lack of any 'extremes' & the monotony of it all. Yes, it's nice not having to really think about the weather too much but it really does feel like everyone else gets to have the fun and we're stuck with the same old boring oceanic shite. Look, I don't want a F5 tornado heading towards my house but it'd be fantastic if we could get a blizzard that dumps a foot of snow or a thunderstorm that scares the shit out of you. This is why I'm so jealous of the Eastern US, you guys get it all
- The incessant cloudiness in winter (and the shoulder seasons to some extent too). I never get used to it.
- Hardly any thunderstorms and the ones we get are hardly earth shattering
- Drizzle & the rainy days to amount of rain ratio
- Routinely getting below 20c in summer
- Summers that aren't sunny or warm enough in general (hey, at least we finally hit 40c though...)
