Well, what is Finland in that case??
PS: for your information I'm not living in those "gloomy hellholes" regions as you say...
by the way, French bashing do not seem to bother you much...

Frankly your accusations are ridiculous, If I had the agenda of making appearing Loire Valley as a sort of tropical paradise I would post my temeperatures only during the warmer times. You can check, I give regulary my temperatures, whatvever they are above or below the average. And like anyone else here, when they are above the average I comment that it feel warm, and when they are below I comment that I feel they are "cool". Why are you annoying only me on this??
It is a fact that the climate of Tours (and of most of France which lies south of the Loire Valley) has warmer summers than in the UK. That doesn't make my climate better than Britain's btw, nor it makes a "good climate" or "tropical climate", contrarily to what you seem to think).
I'm sorry this simple fact does bother you. What should I do? Giving diminished figures from 5°C, to fit your preconcieved idea that the Loire Valley suffer from cool and overcast summers??
If you knew french climates better you would know that the Loire valley is usually seen as the buffer zone between the Aquitanian part of France (which has summers which feature more mediterranean-like characterisics) in the greater south-west and the cloudiers regions that border the channel such as Normandy (which have summer more similar to those of southern coasts of England). Picturing our climate as the stereotypically "British-like" is really having not a clue of what they are in reality.
I understand that you think I lie about our summer condition because they does not fit your wrong preconcieved idea that northern half of France has cool summers, feel free to cheek on the datas if you don't believe, and tell me where I am a liar... I'm sorry bit I'm among the ones in this thread that do not add two of three degrees to their official station's temperatures, as some posters tend to do... Curiously you never "fall on them" as you systematically do with me, probably because it fit your "agenda"; making french and British's climate more similar than they are.
You have the pretention to speak about "honesty" when you patently apply two different "treatments" on our British posters and me? Why don't you react the same way when some might say: "Hazy sun, windy, cold, 15.5C." while his average for September is 17,3°C, and tries to explain that 15,5°C is "cold" (not even "cool" as I said) ??
Or when some says "12.9 degrees here, think autumn's really begun" when his average for September is only two degrees above this temperature... Where is your reaction??
While If I adventure myself to say that I feel 3°C below my average is "cool", I won't wait to see you treating me as a liar! Please... And then, nothing at all.
Two cases, two different treatments... That's the true definition of un-honesty, I'm sorry.
But unfortunally for you, your dis-honesty is without ends: Let's see

What a joke!
Let's see recent posst from you:
" if brest has 1750 sun hours then I'm Jesus" (you couldn't believe that Brest, one of the cloudies cities of France had more than 1500 sun hours an year)
Bad luck for you, Brest has, following the world meteorological organisation 1752 sun hours a year. So you're Jesus! Good lord!
Or in this recent post:

Are you serious??
18,1°C at 18h00 is "COLD" in Finland the 29th of August ??!! Good lord!
I can't believe that it is you who always doing lessons on me! Not only 18.1°C is not "cold" nowhere on earth, not in France (where it would be "cool" at best) and certainly not in Finland! In the far north of Europe, one of the northernmost inhabited places.
Who are you trying to make believe that a temeprature that is above your early September average is "COLD" !!?
18,1°C is 3 or 4°C above Helsinki's high average for September! Even August high averge is only one degree above, and you say that 18,1°C at 18h00 is "COLD" ??!! I can't believe that someone on earth can be so dis-honest...

Highs around 17°C are even above Helsinki early Septembers's highs and you'll try to fool us that it is a Autumn temperature "severly downgreaded"... As if it should be much higher... I just can't believe your dishonesty.
I haven't played down a single climate that I can't prove statistically,
I'm sorry, the liar and anoying person is you, and you know this actually.
As we say in french :
"voir la paille dans l'œil de son voisin et ne pas voir la poutre dans le sien"
think about it...
Ok, after these precisions, let's come back to current temperature situation:
18h00, 22°C
