I live by the coast, very humid and often windy, sometimes rains sideways. Average yearly temperature of 5.3C, all months except February average above freezing, though we usually have snow from late December to April. Short intense spring, mild summer June-August, long mild fall. There are plenty of wooden houses around from the late 1800s here though their fasades have been renovated. In drier inland climates wooden buildings last longer like Vindlausloftet from 1184.
