The effect on perf testing of non standard weather

To all you expert test pilots, with regard to climb performance testing.

If climb performance were tested in a standard atmosphere and the test repeated in a cold temperature and high atmospheric pressure scenario (like we had a week or so ago,) what would the effect on the figures be?

Is there a best time/place/atmosphere for the testing to make the figures look better?

Would smooth air allow better climb figures than turbulent air?
