No, that doesn't ring true here either. Most summer days here vary from mostly cloudy to mostly sunny with temperatures hovering around 70-72F. There will be a few days in each month where it is completely sunny, but they occur much less frequently. Completely cloudy days in summer are unusual
Is it really like that, all summer long? If I could experience a summer like that, it'd be no different than if I died and went to heaven (at least that's what my idea of heaven is like...lol.)
Durn it, I'm just going to have to figure out a way to spend a summer in that green and pleasant land. Yes, a whole summer - 90 days straight, June 1 to August 31. One of these days, I'm gonna do it - just to experience it once in my life.
"The "rain day" day data on here is using the 1mm threshold. I looked at data for Church Fenton and on average a summer month actually has 15-20 days on average with some precipitation even despite being in the shelter of the pennines."
I think that's weird - must include dew or something. Even if the threshold was 0.1mm, there's no way we'd get nearly 300 days of rain in a single year (which is what Tutiempo shows). That's bonkers. I did look at ogimet in April 2011 and on days that were totally dry and sunny, apparently there was 'trace' precipitation, which leads me to believe that it's confusing mist, frost and dew with rain. It also showed the rain symbol on days with no 'precipitation' at all.

Clearly not every day, but that's about right for July and August. June is more like 65-68F.

Why not? Its not expensive only $500 for your to fly to England and there are alot of airlines from ATL.
Yes it would be like that in England, 22c isn't that hot you know. Remember it will be cloudy alot though so it won't be quite like a dry mountain climate. Some places can be hotter though not too much more.
We have a large difference betwen north and south in summer too.

We're going to get that tomorrow - maybe. It might be the last day this spring I'll see that. Maybe we'll get one or 2 more cool days this spring, and then it'll be all she wrote for a long, long time (we'll be going into the hot zone, and staying there.)

Then again, I could rent a place on top of Beech Mountain (5000 feet plus) for the summer too...lol. That's why so many Scots settled in the highlands of North Carolina when they came over, since it reminded them so much of home. They have a huge Scottish festival up there every July - pretty cool stuff.
Yeah I suppose. At least you have the option of going from cold to hot and vice versa.
Yeah, the mountains of North Carolina have what I call "Dial a Climate." If it's too cold for your liking up there, just change your elevation, problem solved...lol.
