Winters are atypical for average Norwegian climate (they are much milder), but the rest of the year (especially summers) are typical for Norway.

Sapa in Vietnam! What makes it so unusual is that Southeast Asia is often stereotyped as a tropical, hot and humid all year round area, yet the town (located in the highlands of northern Vietnam) gets snow fairly often! Not every year, but every few years, and there is never a year where the temps failed to drop below 0C/32F at some point during the winter months.

average sun 1920 - similar to southern parts of France
mild winters
and reasonably dry compared to most of Europe

Porstmouth is nothing like most parts of the UK

Portsmouth seem sunnier than most of the UK, it is to expect that southern England have more sun thannorthern Scotland!... temperature-wise it seems to fit the stereotype of cool summer/ mild winter climate. After all the British stereotype is to be a vey moderate climate, with few heat and without real cols, it fits it weel.

1900 sun hours is about what they have in most of Britanny, which have in France the reputation of having this kinf'of very moderate climate. Southern coast of Britanny has place with above 2000 sun hours, yet I think they fit Breton stereotype.

"A few deluded folks" associate southern France with the Med coast rather than the Garonne/Rhône valleys??

Nope, that map is wrong. Must have been made by some kind of tourism representative! For example the biggest cities, Brest and Rennes, get respectively 1530 and 1717 hours of bright sun per year.

Lorient, the sunniest of the bunch, gets 1827 hours. Still significantly cloudier than Portsmouth:
We must not live in the same world.
