Sir Hedin Cove is the foremost and capital settlement of the King Frey Islands, a colony of both Britain and Norway. It is named after the Swedish explorer, Sven Hedin himself. The settlement is situated at 57° 36' 29" S and is elevated by 10 metres upon the South Indian Ocean; thus, it holds a tundra maritime climate ( ET), closely bordering that of a polar ice-cap climate ( EF). It receives particularly cold temperatures owing to its high polar latitude about the Shrieking Sixties, and frequent lashings by southerly antarctic fronts battering across the Kerguelen Plateau and South Indian Ridge. Wind-chill is often fierce, and potentially lethal; this is owing to frequently turbulent squalls, averaging 36.1 knots (18.5 m/s, 66.8 km/h) annually; squalls exceeding 64.0 knots (32.9 m/s, 118 km/h) occur 154.8 days per year; squalls exceeding 128.0 knots (65.8 m/s, 237.0 km/h) occur on 22.3 days. Snowfall is catastrophic and scores upwards to 25 and 30 metres about sea-level, falling on 307.3 days; this value shall exceed a hundred metres once a mile above. Tremendous precipitation, alongside near-permanent freezing conditions should allow for such exceptional snowfall to accumulate. The King Frey Islands are dominated by heavy cloud and fog for most of the year. This certainly scores an A+ by maritime standards! This is at the immediate coast, I'll have you know:  |

F-.
But...at least all the precipitation falls as snow rather than rain so it could be worse.

No way to even run a civilization in such a place. That's what's called a glacier. To make matters even more farcial, actual real-world snow coefficient is about 51-52 metres with those figures. Also, it already is a polar ice cap climate since the annual mean of the "warmest" month is a bone-chilling -0.6°C... |

B-
Not enough sun and I'm assuming zero thunderstorms. Other than that it's very good.

Wtf? This is a glacier, a literal glacier, and it'll be *under* a glacier pretty fast. F.

This is insane, finally you have a weatherbox for it.  As for me, it's far too cold in summer, far too wet and snowy even by my standards , I'll give it an E+ for being interesting. You should do a weatherbox for one of the higher elevation climates lol. |

This climate is a Polar climate...
Um
F-
No possibility of building Cities or even living in such a place. How can this be anyones dream climate considering vegetation for food can't even be grown?!

I don't believe for one second that anybody would actually enjoy living here. There's a fundamental difference in having a blast whenever you happen upon a certain weather, and to have that as the average. You might think hurricanes are very interesting weather events and whenever there's a hurricane you wish it would come to you, but you wouldn't want a hurricane every single day. The same with this climate. It may take weeks or even months, but eventually you'll start wishing for some actual comfortability, but then it will just go on and on forever.

Excellent climate on maritime standards!
Verdict: A+, strewth!

The best climate I've seen EVAH, by maritime standards!
This certainly scores an A++++!

Fucken epic whaling climate fucken. I, captain Frey Vísthær, am gonna take me whaling vessel and sink me a Greenpeace vessel down there 
A+ on inland standards, but an F- on maritime standards. I'd prefer a climate in the Shivering Seventies as opposed to the Shrieking Sixties |

A++++, fucken! Perfect weather for poaching endangered whale species, sinking Greenpeace vessels, and sitting inside the computer in mama's suburban Sydney basement getting Cheeto dust all over your neckbeard. |
