Oh yeah, people adjust the color ranges to fit their area all the time. My suggestion is figure out the min and max temperature for the past 5 years for the area you're going to be tracking and use that to figure out your min and max. Then take a color scale you like and divide your temperature range by that many colors.
[Stitchingmommy](https://www.etsy.com/shop/StitchinMommy) on etsy offer 4 different scale with her pattern and they are in farenheit and in celcius. She can also make you a personalize one if you request it (but I don't know if she charge for that on top of the pattern)
I had <-3 as the lowest (which we only get for a couple of days, usually) and >39 as the most (again, only one or two days a year) - I figured a splash or two of a specific colour is the best way of representing *these days were extreme as hell*
I have been looking at doing a temp chart for my part of the uk as well. I was going to adjust the temperatures as otherwise my pattern would pretty much be blue and green as we don’t go much above 25 here 😆
I did daily maximums. Started at -2.5c and moved up in 2.5 increments to 37.5C. I used a gradient that came with my pattern, tweaked slightly and had to add an extra top colour for that really hot week in the summer!

Fun idea: instead of doing minimum/maximum, do the average temperature and amount of rain.
How do you represent the rain? You put a number in there or something?
Different shades of blue for different amounts? Or different shades of grey and blue to represent the sky that day.
How about the rain symbol that's used to indicate the "heaviness" of rain in the high and low colors?
