^^ false. York has no weather station and no discernible weather records anyway, except for a University, which doesn't appear to publicly release any data.
Bingley is not representative of Leeds - it's significantly higher up, much wetter and cooler in winter. The temperature and rainfall pattern in Leeds would be much closer to Linton on Ouse.
I assume 27C is your definition of a heatwave? Every year. Southeastern Finland, Southeasten Sweden and the Stockholm area and the Oslofjord area are quite prone to heat, or in this areas you'll probably find the yearly highest temperatures and averages. The Norwegian and Swedish stats are pretty crappy, and usually still from 1961-1990, and we use the 25C mark, so it's difficult to give exact information.
And it's a big area, and summers are very different from year to year. This summer was crappy, not a single location recorded 30C, the summers of 2010 and 2011 were very warm. But periods with at least 5 days in a row with over 25C occur almost every summer. 14 days in a row once every 10 years.
The summers (Jun-Aug) of 2007 and 2009 were the most normal, and the first one had 7 days with >27C, the latter 8. This year: one day.
Sorry, I really can't give a good answer to your question. But yes, the period of the year when these temperature even are possible, is of course much longer in the UK.
Well temperatures may be similar in both regions but your right those high temperatures are possilble for longer in the UK. But as you just said that those high temperatures 25C + is likely earlier from late march/April to September. In London and surronding areas 25C is met on a regular basis. 27C + is met every year for 3 days or so. 30C+ is met for 2 days or so. I used 27C because that temperature is widely met in southern half Britain even up to scotland on occasions.
But it isn't. That's a fact. It doesn't matter what you 'think'.
Leeds is definitely cooler, I don't know why it bothers you so much.
