Real Summer, Real Winter?

[dunno what to put here]

Left my car for a few hours in a car park today while I was busy inside.

Temperature was around 68F, my car was absolutely boiling.

If your car is in a parking lot with the sun out, even at 60 F it can feel uncomfortable. It's easily 20 F warmer, if not more. Deadly? No, but still uncomfortable enough to warrant opening the windows.

High summer: when I drink iced coffee instead of hot coffee in the morning. By this rule July 3 was not high summer (55/87) but July 4 was (68/90).

Real summer: when I don't have to worry about wearing a jacket any time of day.

Exactly. And it's in just those conditions where opening the windows actually lets cool air in. When it's hot in the car and opening windows is useless for relief, then that's summer . This usually occurs at temperatures of around 70-75F and up.

You mean it reached 20°C in Leeds? Must be a decent summer after all then!

It managed to reach 20°C in Buxton today, which is a miracle of miracles in this day and age. Actually it's been the sunniest and one of the driest days of the summer so far. Looks like summers coming at last!
