3 months make a nice neat division, but June looks more like September than July/August. Lengthening daylight hours would make it feel more like summer though.

Yeah, June is more like September weatherwise, but in the UK we have 3 months for each season - less confusion that way!

Haha, Prince Rupert, absolute maximum 28.7c PATHETIC. Despite being on the mainland and just 54N. British Columbia alone has so many climates/

On the mainland, yes, but:

Very similar to Fair Isle, with colder winters, still lush, lush, lush. I'm still blaiming the sheep rather than the weather.

Again summers still warmer then fair isle and record highs way higher, and much, much wetter

Regarding trees in the oceanic climates/islands of Scotland, it does seem there's some effect of people clearing the land.

Here's an interesting read.

Actually a place like Ushuaia is colder most of the year than Fair Isle..they've even had a temperature of -6°C in the middle of summer! they're are plenty forests outside of town there. I agree with CairoCanadian.. I'll blame the sheep

Still. I think you'd have a hard tarm growing tropical plants up there.

I agree.. there is just too little summer heat.. but at least the snowfall they do get is fleeting...
