Easily A although I'd say part of me wants it bordering on A- due to the many days above 33°C maxima! Epic stuff. Stunning warmth with low sunshine and bright nights with comfy temps  16.8 mm and bear in mind it's at 67°N so midnight sun all month at the pole of cold of the north! That same year on December 23, 2010, also a record-breaking day in Scandinavia; Verkhoyansk recorded a -55.5°C high! |

It's a C+ for me. The temp are good but it's too dry. The max dew points are unsurprisingly low to moderate values.

I've found an even more hardcore one that I'll give a thread in a few days But 2010 was definitely an ideal summer month for that latitude. If it'd been wetter it'd meant lower temps unfortunately. Sure I assume Verkhoyansk gets a lot of thunderstorms when it does rain, but due to the Siberian High and its high latitude the monsoon has zero influence on the climate, hence it's a hardcore desert climate but for the extreme cold temps which salvages the hardy vegetations. It's an incredibly interesting climate in all aspects though! |

It's an incredibly interesting climate in all aspects though! When I drove through the Alaskan interior from Anchorage to Deadhorse, it DEFINITELY felt very desert-like between Fairbanks and the Brooks Range. There are small black spruce trees everywhere with the occasional groves of alder. Some of the trees were burnt due to wild fires and the ground itself was mostly dry dirt/gravel with twigs or small shrubs. It's such a beautiful place and I'd live there or somewhere like it if it was realistic, along with my secondary compound located somewhere in the deep tropics at a modest elevation.  |

Nice find! what's the Tn column?
To get an idea of the sun angle works for more "normal" latitudes. At 5 hours after solar noon [so about 6 pm with daylight savings time] the sun angle at my town (42.5°N) is the same as Verkhoyansk. Peak sun angle is 45°.At 2 hours after solar noon, Verkhoyansk is 18° lower (41°). So, for 4-5 hours before and after noon much lower sun than a midlatitude location in mid-July. But then the sun just hovers at a low angle for a very long evening
Verkhoyansk max sun angle on July 15 is about the same as mine on the equinox. We got 91°F (33°C) on September 24 last year; max sun angle 47°. So a little higher sun at midday than Verkhoyansk's heat wave but lower mid morning and late afternoon. Of course the low wasn't 24°C; it was 15°C

I don't like the 13'C high, nor the fact that only like 5 days were in the low 20's. A little better than our average summers though. Not better than our July 2014 though.

wouldn't look out of place here/10
D+, really hate that swinging shit as it ruins some actual good periods of summer. I fully understand how gay this sort of thing really is.

Normally I'd look at a 26.8/13.5 month with presumably lots and lots of fairly gentle sunshine (I wonder how much?) and say A, but the random cold days and the unpredictability of it make it a B-.
The size of the area covered by the 2010 heatwave was incredible, it's probably equivalent to much of the US and Europe getting the same heatwave at the same time including the Atlantic in between!

Im guessing that J(h) columns is total sunshine in a day. Looks pretty awesome, a B+ purely because even with those cold days, the long days and decent stretches of warmth sound awesome.

Nope Noodle, sadly not, it's the "available sunshine" column Technically the midnight sun drifts away at mid-month but you wouldn't really notice until early August because it's very early twilight for a few hours in the middle of the night. By the end of the month you might just notice something had changed. |

B+
It looks really nice, but those days with 13 prevent it from being an A.
It would have been a nice holiday to spend a week or two there in July with bike riding and hiking. It's not too crowded and the landscape looks amazing.
Places that are far north are more epic when it's warm.
I imagine the North Pole was a quite decent place during the Triassic era when the avg annual temp was 10c.

OK ish. I'm not too fussed over summer weather as long as it can get hot at times (which is surely does here!!!)
A B- would be an high if the nights were cooler throughout the month.

B. Could have warmer days but I love the dryness, cool nights and high variability.

D-
Some nice days but nights are way too cool and half of the days would feel polar like. But pretty amazing for the latiude

16.8 mm and bear in mind it's at 67°N so midnight sun all month at the pole of cold of the north!
