If you went to a place with 25-26C averages, it wouldn't seem cool for long because you'd eventually acclimatize if you spent long enough there. It's a 25C evening here and it definitely feels warm. Very pleasant actually. I certainly don't consider 35C temps to be pleasant - uncomfortable more like, unless humidity is very low. Okay if you're at the beach or in a building with A/C but given I work in an office and wear a shirt, tie and trousers all year I'd find it pretty horrible. That attire isn't very nice to wear on days like today either (27C).
Good point. 35C is just excessive heat and serves no purpose in life lol. And in a city like mine it is unbearable. In fact, sitting out in it as I did yesterday left me tired, sweatsoaked, and generally unhappy. You can't sit out and enjoy things with those temps and humidity.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.. but there's generally no need to go on about it too much. Only annoys me when people make out like people here are stuck wearing coats and sweaters all year because it never gets warm enough to do otherwise. Again, acclimatization. Like Sunday - 23C with sunshine, pretty much everyone in T-shirts and shorts. You'd find that very cool for July but to us it's warm. I saw people in shorts this morning when it was 17C and again you'd probably consider that a cool morning.
I don't find that unusual at all, considering you would see the same thing here in late April or May with 23C. Give us a high of 23C now and everyone would be talking about how cool it was and wearing jackets at night lol.
It's all based on the current averages and what people have gotten used to. I think if people see tourists at Wimbledon in jackets, they might assume all British wear jackets in summer, but very likely they could be Europeans or Americans from warm summer climates not used to those temps.
30.0c in Kew Gardens, London
30.0c in St James's Park, London
May I remind you that just last week you were going on about how awful, etc. the forecast was and summer was over blah blah, and I said these models know nothing beyond 5 days. See, I told you so.
Look at this street view taken in August 2015 (which had below average temps and sun). Pan around and look down the street towards the river. Most of those people look dressed for summer. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.44...8i6656!6m1!1e1
Yeah, same as here with summer type clothes. I guess you can't determine the high temp that day huh?
So you think 25-26C is warm in the summer. My local mets say otherwise. Most of my kin who live in Greece would agree with me too.
Who cares what you, Tom Skilling or the Chicago Met Office think?? Most people would consider a temperature of 26C as "quite warm" which is what the debated article said. It never said it was hot, it said "quite warm". Which it is, 79F is not cold ffs... And this was in reference to the UNITED KINGDOM, not f*****g Chicago

But this story was in a UK newspaper, not the Chicago Tribune... So yes, it is quite warm...

I know, that is why I have been saying it is all relative to the average conditions people have acclimatized too.
However, using the official figures from the Met Office puts even the windiest London station (Heathrow) below Seattle in terms of wind speed.
Again, you are comparing apples to oranges. You either have to use the same source (official vs official or use the same Web site) or don't compare at all.
