Compare Seattle weather vs London weather
I know person from Seattle who has lived in England for 2 years and he said Seattle weather is much better all the time. What do you think about that

Source: The Weather Channel
January: London average Hi 44, Lo 32, Seattle Hi 46, Lo 36
July: London average Hi 71, Lo 52, Seattle Hi 75, Lo 55
So pretty close. Hoewever, there are variables. Average wind speed is higher in London year-round. Rainfall is heavier in Seattle during winter, and drier during summer.
So climates are pretty close with just a few variables. Actually, London looks like almost a carbon copy of Vancouver B.C.

Dark in Seattle?
Except London is even further north than Seattle! Perhaps the difference in where these cities are located within their time zones creates an illusion. But if London if further north, then there will be more darkness in winter, and longer daylight in summer.

Temperatures are almost the same, but the rainfall is spread throughout the year in London, while it rains more in Seattle during winter

Because London is located further north.
But summertime daylight is longer than Seattle's |
