London isn't really cool summer, i'd say warm summer just about anyway. London regulary goes up to 25C and thats not cool - no sea breeze to temper anything also
Why do you make seem London a warm place?
Compared to New York, it's way too chilly. Come to New York during summertime and you will know what "warm" is. London's summer are more like May or September in NY.

It's subjective. To me, 23C is warm, and London rarely has highs under 20C in July, in an average summer, that is. Even during cooler summer months, highs under 20C are not commonplace.
The most 'average' summer month I could find was August 2002, which had 3 days with a high below 20C, compared to 8 days with highs above 25C.
I'd consider New York hot in the summer, as opposed to warm, but when classifying climates, we need to do it in a global sense. I might consider London warm, but there are plenty of places warmer than London in the summer, likewise there are plenty of places hotter than New York in the summer, so in a global sense, London isn't particularly warm in the summer, nor is New York particularly hot.

First off, NYC in the summer is hot, not warm . Secondly, May and September in NYC are generally considered to feature warm weather (and I agree with that), and London's summers feature warm weather, albeit falling short of American standards of summer. Thirdly, winters in London are warmer than NYC's winters. London averages 47/37F, and NYC averages 39/27F. Both of them are really mild by my standards, but in any case it's clear which one is milder. On the other hand, London is much less prone to warm waves than NYC. NYC's winter record high is 75F, whereas London's is 67F. The difference in record lows is not significant.
I consider NYC's summers as very warm/Hot, London's summers I consider warm places like Aberdeen I consider cool summers. And also people have different definitions of what is cold/hot/cool/warm. Someone from the Australian Outback would consider NYC summers has only slightly warm but somone from Subarctic island may consider NYC's summers as desert like hot........
Obviously for each of us "warm temperate" conjures up differing images. Toronto's climate looks like garden-variety humid continental to me. It has real summers and winters, but neither of them are particularly hot or cold.

Sounds about right, real winters but not too cold and real summers but not too hot.
I like how koppen words it "Hot Summer Continental"

Besides Toronto is close in proximity to massive bodies of water, which can quickly alter the conditions..
Case in point is that Toronto's climate is generally almost the same the past 100yrs
I am missing your point.. This thread is about if certain cities in southern Ontario may eventually become Humid Subtropical. You posted a picture of a 7 day forecast in Toronto - It takes years of data to determine if a climate is changing.
And yes, certain February's have been colder than January's in the same year.
