New Madrid = Hell My worst nightmare climate. -Snow is extremely rare occurring once a decade -A mini late summer monsoon occurs -Autumn and ''winter'' precipitation is light and pathetic -Its sunny year round -Everyone in New Madrid wants to immigrate to Lonington.  |

D. I can negotiate with that although sumers are obscenely hot they're just barely worse than Córdoba and Seville. Winters from October to April are instead about ultimate perfection. If I could take a plane and be gone by 10 May and return on 20 September I'd love that climate.

I have a dream climate almost identical to this one. The main difference is mine is wetter and more thunderstorms. This one gets C+.

New Madrid is located in a semi-arid area 100 miles East of a mountain range (say, 5,000ft on average) which blocks a good portion of precipitation and cool oceanic air from entering the settlement. New Madrid's location in a deep valley and behind a mountain range means the area can heat up very quickly during the day ---- days get hotter and hotter..
Its located on the western side of a continent so this dictates that its under the subtropical high which pretty much dominates the climate year round.
The location experiences a monsoon (lets call it the Macronesian monsoon) which is simply the shifting of the more moist tropical air from the east/southeast to the dry barren area. Some years the monsoon doesn't fully arrive while others can bring torrential downpours for days on end.
During the pathetic ''winter'' the most wintry weather you'll experience is a frost during a northerly outbreak. Rain during winter is light some years can be wetter than others.
What I'm saying is don't expect rain.. But if it does rain (during the summer) god help you.

D–, for inland standards. Nice diurnal ranges, but far too warm overall. No significant storm activity, either.  |

^ Was about to say the same. There's already a real New Madrid lol.
This climate isn't as horrible as I thought. Was picturing much warmer winters. Still, winters are way too warm and it's way too warm in general year-round. Way too dry and sunny as well. I'll give it an E- because it's at least recorded hard freezes before.
Not sure if I'd choose this climate over Miami.

The existing Madrid is far better. C for this one vs A for the existing one.

D–, for inland standards. Nice diurnal ranges, but far too warm overall. No significant storm activity, either. It does get storm activity during the late summer / early Autumn period. Though as its very unreliable. I imagine something like this if the place does get storms. All of July's precipitation can fall in one or two storms etc |

I don’t see how this can be hell to anyone... Sure, it’s hot and dry all year but wouldn’t a tropical climate or someplace with hotter summers or zero rain be much much worse for someone with your preferences?
I give it a D. It’s too warm and boring year round but perfectly livable. Precipitation and sun hours are pretty much ideal.
