I was born and raised in Colmar, France, which you mention a video extract of in your video :) It has a oceanic climate, which however distinguishes a bit from the rest of France, because of rain shadow from the Vosges and its inland position : as a consequence it is drier, and its winters are colder. Non-mediterranean southern France experiences more and more a climate that is technically humid subtropical (summer monthes >22°C) : Lyons, Toulouse, Avignon, Grenoble, etc.. Their summers are too hot to be considered oceanic, and too humid to be considered mediterranean. Global warming increases this phenomenon.

This discussion brought something back up that I used to think about and hate, and that's how in Chile rainfall begins to increase and become more influenced by the westerlies in the southern hemisphere past 35 s and many places in southern chile are oceanic and not desert. Even on a map you can see it get greener past 35 s. Eventually past 42 s the amount of flat land decreases and gives way to hilly fjords and carved saltwater rivers which would be difficult for agricultural development and transportation. I find this to be a direct result of the Nazca plate forcing land upward in south america in the patagonian region and thus blocking prevailing winds with a ton of moisture from getting to the regions past the Andes and creating a massive rain shadow over argentina. This turns the area between Ushuaia and Buenos Aires into a desert region that could have been a large temperate rainforest. It would have been interesting to see something like this because if would make rare endemic species more widespread and allowed for further development in the southern hemisphere. Sometimes mountain placement can be convenient for one region but make it inconvenient for another, and the Andes just block most, if not all the rainfall from the prevailing winds from crossing into Argentina. It's kind of like Cascadia but in the southern hemisphere and the height of the Andes creates this huge rain shadow too just like Cascadia.

As for the climate that Patagonia could have, most of it would probably have a csb climate like that of the city of El Bolsón in Argentina, with probably some csc, cfb, and cfc at the bottom. Now, I've even thought of the possibility of blowing the mountains with explosives haha, but it is full of volcanoes so I guess that makes it extra difficult. Finally, something that also sucks about the Patagonia is that, because it is the only landmass at those latitudes, it has some of the strongest winds in the world and that would also affect it's vegetation. In the end, I think that Patagonia (like the Pacific Northwest) is one of the most interesting and uniques regions of the world, yet it's unfortunate geography leaves us with a lot of barren desert and some interesting microclimates close to the mountains.

Lima is blocked from the easterly trades by the Andes, preventing almost all moisture from reaching Lima. Combine that with the cool Peru current and you get a dry climate. But the current creates fog. But Chile gets its rain from the prevailing westerlies due to its latitude. It is on a westward facing coast, so these can provide moisture for Chile and prevent it from having a dry climate, even though it is also brushed by the cool Peru current. That's why it rains in Chile but not Lima.

Regions where the average temperature of the coldest month is below -3°C often experience more severe winter conditions and are generally classified as having a continental climate. On the other hand, using 0°C as a threshold can encompass a wider range of climates, including some areas with milder winters that still exhibit continental climate characteristics.

What about boone NC?

Subpolar oceanic climates have less than 4 months above +10 degrees while temperate oceanic have 4 months or more above 10 degrees, so Bergen is oceanic, while Førde, 150 km further north, has a subpolar oceanic (9,5 degrees in September). I don't think it has to be above 17 degrees.

The Cfc climate does have some spectacular scenery such as the Scottish Highlands, Coastal Norway, the South Coast of Chile, parts of Tasmania and the South Island New Zealand, the north west coast of Canada, and the south east of Alaska.

I live in the UK so I live in the temperate maritime, marine west coast or oceanic climate (Cfb).

I don't think the term "most northerly" makes sense in this situation, since you are covering both Northern and Southern Hemisphere in the series. "Most poleward" would make more sense.

The loire valley/new zealand have the best climate in the world. Doesn't go above 30, very rarely goes bellow 5, perfect.

That's because they're seasonal so they are about as cloudy as four season climates are in general. Try Azores and New Zealand and Japan.

GeoDiode yes to me it seems like our rains come in infrequent intense bursts, a lot of times storms. There’s always a summer storm every few years that uproots a bunch of trees.

Sometimes I wonder if southern argentina would be like this if not for the western mountains, being a small land area at a latitude where the rest of the world is ocean. It would be a very mild and nice place for agriculture, but it's basically a desert as is, making Argentina a smaller agricultural country than larger countries like Brazil or the USA.

The lack of Sunshine and summer temperature's is why most people complain about this climate zone however both New Zealand and Northern Spain escape this complaint as both these areas mostly receive over 2000 hours of sunshine per year and warmer summer temperatures. It's why kiwis still like to poke fun at us Irish and Brits for our terrible weather even though they are in the same category lol. If one hates too much heat and long cool winters and prefer 45-60% sunshine throughout the year you won't get any better than New Zealand and Northern Spain

It's a great question, and one I have wondered myself. I think it might be to do with these areas being subjected to heavy snowfalls during ice ages (being on the westerly margin of stormy seas), and hence glacial carving out of the valleys while the sea level is much lower, and then when the sea level rises again, those valleys get flooded into fjords.
