Paris is cooler than Nice on average in every month, but late spring is when it's least noticeable in regard to high temps, while Nice stays markedly warmer in autumn. This is due to the seasonal lag caused by the presence of the sea in Nice. Note that Nice's official weather station is literally surrounded by water as it is situated at the airport, built on reclaimed land:
Hence it is not too surprising that sometimes Paris gets a warmer spring month than we do, in terms of high temps at least. I'd be much, much more surprised if Paris saw a month with warmer lows, in any season, or a warmer autumn/winter month - I don't think that's ever happened, but Rozenn might help us shed a light on it
Thanks for your response I mismatched a seasonal lag with an oceanic climate.
Ok, here's the data from the three largest metropolitan areas in Finland and from Rovaniemi at the Arctic Circle. Took the Met Institute 21 days to publish the data, and didn't even include sunshine hours and days with precipitation!
So what stands out? March and November were mild, February and December cold. Very rainy at times, and the 150 mm in Helsinki is an all-time high for September. October ended with a cold spell with significant snowfall, something that is quite rare even at these latitudes. (Except for Rovaniemi.)
The record lows in Tampere were many months lower than the records in Rovaniemi, which is very rare.
Though the summer was not really much chillier than usual except for June, striking are the lame record high temperatures. The amount of >25C days nationwide was the lowest since 1998, which made the summer feel much colder than it actually was. So was the case in March.
Nationwide:
record high: 31.0C in Lieksa on 30.7.
record low: -42.7C in Inari on 6.2.
Changed Precipitation day threshold to 1 mm and added percent sunshine. Percent sunshine comes the Blue Hill Observatory, at 600 feet 90 miles east. Should be slightly sunnier here (by 2-3% ?) and some local costal effects.
2012 was sickeningly bad and the worst year of weather in probably any country in the world with a large population density. Absolutely no summer occurred in that year and it rained about 300 days a year including about 20 inches in the summer, and about 5 sunny days all year. No overhead thunderstorms, nothing worth remembering. Like a long boring winter. 2013 has begun in the usual typical below-average fashion, cold and dull, tedious, and irritating weather.

The summer was pretty disastrous in most of England. It was factually the worst in terms of the combination of cloud, rain and cold for many decades. Of course in the SE it would be drier and warmer than everywhere else.
