My aunt and sister were in London for 20 days this June (my aunt got back two weeks ago) and my aunt told me that climate there was super-crappy cold and cloudy/rainy. She had to use coats and scarfs to be there. She was all "well, its supposedly summer there, cause people wear sandals, but, omg, NOTHING there resemblance of real summer". And they arent from the very hot and sunny Buenos Aires in where summer last like 5 months and are very hot, they are from oceanic Mar del Plata, more cloudy and unstable, but of course, compared to London, its a tropical sunny paradise.
Also, my sister has been living in Amsterdam for the last two months and she said it rained ALL DAYS there, and its very cold. She is a person that has no cold tolerance, though, but she feels very dissapointed cause its summer there and she has been using her coat and scarfs in Amsterdam like if she were on MDP winter, but waaay rainier. She keeps complaining on how crappy the climate is there.
Im really rethinking my opinion of northern-european climates, wich wasnt as bad (cause its never hot, and i hate heat), but i think if i lived there i would feel bad for all the crappy/cloudy/rainy climate all year even in summer. I still HATE the heat more than anything, but i hate it cause i have it, i have A LOT of it, and a lot of warm weather too. I dont know how i would feel in a place with almost no warm weather, not even in the summer.
How people can wear scarves and coats with temperatures in the upper 50s/60s is beyond me, lol. That's t shirt and (maybe) long pants weather right there. Sounds good to me
They are from argentina, and from warm temperatures. And people in argentina is kinda exagereted. You would DIE if you knew what people call POLAR WEATHER HERE. Like 15 celsius is POLAR weather, seriously. In BA they are worse: they use scarfs, coats and boots at 19 celsius.
Britain is experiencing one of its coldest, wettest and cloudiest summers ever. Your aunt should have gone to London in August 2003 and she'd probably be wishing she was back in cool Mar Del Plata.
But Mar del Plata summers are anyway way warmer than Londons, right? So probably the warm summer in 2003 was as warm as MDP regular summer or not as warm.
I mean MDP is been scoring 100f every freaking year. I went this year in January, and temp was 100f, ugh! I dont think those kind of temperatures happen in London. Maybe im wrong?
Yeah, just checked weather.com and MDP is on average 5c warmer than London, so i dont think summer 2003 would have been such a different summer for my aunt than any regular summer in MDP.
Well, average high of 26 celsius is actually the average for MDP, so that 2003 figure wouldnt be too hot for anyone from MDP.
And that 28.2 isnt too hot either. Probably this january in MDP (every year in MDP is hotter) reached that.
I think they are reaching 100f every year now.
MDP used to have a cool oceanic climate in summer but not anymore. Of course its cool compared to BA, but its still too hot.

I'm from south Florida (warmer than 95% of Argentina) and I still wouldn't wear scarves with temperatures in the 60s.
Just checked in wunderground and, no, the average high in january was 26, not above average, cause mdp scored a couple of 20c days that brought the numbers down. But if you look at the days, it had plenty of 30c (actually: 11 days with more than 30c wich is a lot for one month!!!) days and even 37 c day on the 5th!!!! And i had the GREAT idea of celebrating my birthday (January 4th) on MDP, and those two days i was there, temp was 32 and 37!!! UGH!!!
thats a darn hot January. Not even mdp is reliable for nice warm summer temps anymore. You have to go to Patagonia here to escape the heat in January. And that is southern patagonia, like usuhaia, cause in northern patagonia it can be hot as hell too, ugh!
But i know wu is very wrong for argentina locations, cause its always wrong in BA and the national weather services always show something different of BA, so maybe those numbers are wrong and MDP was actually hotter. I wouldnt be surprised to know that this january avg high was 28 and wouldnt be surprised if any month of the summer the avg high is 30c. Every year summers seem to be hotter.
