Damn there is some funny stuff in this thread.

So.. I've been trying to understand those weather maps you've made, and if someone would be nice to tell me what country on good-ol-back-home-earth would match #55 where I recide? ... seems like I have cold winds from the first maps - but dry cliimate from the climate map .. although I'm between two humid ones. I'd like an idea of general temperature and climate and how I can fit my vikings in there

Your country is basically a peninsula situated between equator and the high pressure zones in the descending branch of the Hadley cell.
The dominating winds are always from the north and north east.
But as the high pressures are above the ocean, this air coming to your country from the north is humid.
In the southern part your country is tropical, hot (some 30° +) and wet.
But because of the very particular environment, the northern part is not so different - e.g hot and humid.
If you have some mountains running E to W or NW to SE, then the nothern slopes will be tropical while South of it will be a drier subtropical climate (bush, Savannah).
The driest part but still not desertical is the SE.

Compared with the Earth, and because our planet has a comparable radius to the Earth, your country would be huge and run from Colombia to Cuba.
So the comparison you wanted is : 55 is Cuba like in the north and Colombia like in the South.
