Hell no. The best would get a C. Inland southern/central France is full of A/B climates IMHO. UK doesn't get above a C, perhaps some low B's at a stretch. |

Nowhere in the UK gets an A grade. Everywhere pretty much gets a C. In the south summers are warm enough for me but then the winters are so mild, the central scottish highlands is cold enough for me but lacks summers and sunshine so... eh.. I think I could make a B+ climate for myself if I cherry-picked the best aspects of various climates around the country. Actually that could be a thread idea. |

What would the best climates in each country be in your opinion?
My favorite French climate would be somewhere between Strasbourg and Karlsruhe, near the Rhine. It's wetter than areas further south as it's not in the rain shadow of the Vosges, has somewhat warm and humid summers for northern French standards and chilly, though still half-assed winters. I'd be fine with summers akin to Karlsruhe's, but winters in the Rhine valley are way too weak. Problem is, I'd rather have a subpar winter than a subpar summer. The Vosges and Jura highlands have colder and much snowier winters, but the tradeoff is chilly summers.
As for the UK, the best climate would be somewhere like Cambridge. Still D territory I'm afraid. The best climates in Europe are found along an arc going from Bucharest to Volgograd imo. Actually it'd be fun to draw climate grade maps.

The best climates of Germany are to the west of Mannheim, in the rainshadow of the Palatinate Forest, namely Bad Dürkheim.

I think the best climates in the UK would be perhaps be Ipswich (East Bergholt Station) for temperatures, the most "continental" you're likely to see in the UK. The best overall would be Southsea/Portsmouth, mainly due to being much sunnier than most of the UK, and can also grow a lot of cool plants relative to the latitude. Hard to pick a favourite in France. There's a lot of places with warm, sunny summers. As well as winters with decent cold potential, but aren't frigid either. In fact there's a whole bunch of those A-grade climates stretching across northern Spain, into France, Italy, and then into the Balkans. |

Maybe places like Eucla in WA and Narooma in southeast NSW would get an A from me.

No A climate in Canada by far. Most of the country is a total fail as far as climate goes which is sad considering it's the 2nd largest country in the world. The best Canada can muster for me is a D+ in Victoria, BC.

If A– can be included, then yes. My own climate is an A– (along with Batlow, Carabost, and Wee Jasper).

Within Italy, plenty of climates within Sicily get an A, with parts of Apulia, such as Foggia also having climates which would get an A from me.

Colorado has plenty of A-/A climates, in fact most of the state east of the Rockies qualifies.

Country: yes. State: no. The best Wisconsin can pull off is a C+, while there are some climates in the A range in the upper south and southern plains.

US? Yes. A climates exist in a smattering in the south Cascades and Sierra Nevada ranging from Siskiyou County to Mariposa County, roughly.
Oregon? There might be some A climates that extend into Oregon, will update this post if I find one that is well and truly A. Quite a few in southern and central OR come close.

Oklahoma
No, the best climate is Bartlesville, which is just a B+ climate.
USA
Definitely, most of PA, OH, IN, and southern MI fall into the A category.

The warm side (Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Allentown, Lancaster), moderates (Pittsburgh, Scranton, Williamsport), or colder (Erie, Northern Tier, SW/SC Mountains)? |

Ontario:
No. Either slightly too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter for there to be A's. Toronto Centre Island, Kingston, and Tobermory are strong B's.
Canada:
If I were generous, Victoria, BC and Saanich, BC get A-. The temperature variance is low and they're rather dry, but they're less gloomy than other parts of coastal BC (Victoria is surprisingly sunnier than Toronto) and at least it's comfortable year round for a Canadian.
