Yeah, I had a look around the Balkans but everywhere I could find had at least one thing to bring it down: Sarajevo has gloomier winters than ideal, plus 46 days above 32C sounds like a lot (if that's true, sounds a bit much with those averages?) and the record lows being below freezing in every month look so weird in comparison.
The Balkans is definitely the best part of Europe for interesting weather in general IMO though
I prefer Samokov for the colder winter, cooler summers and more precipitation.
Samokov is colder than Ihtiman because it is located at a higher altitude.
Lowest records in the winter months in Ihtiman are very impressive!
I never knew what a moderate climate London had. I always thought it had a harsh long cold winter, like the northern US. All I have to go by are a few Disney movies and stories about poor frozen Bob Cratchit.
I thought the stereotype of London was that it's incessantly cloudy and rainy rather than "frozen"?
I know, but even in movies London is depicted that way - always wet and cloudy (I.e. Sweeney Todd, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, etc).
Perhaps I haven't seen those Disney films in subject. Lol.
Movies that are actually filmed on location tend to not be rainy, ever. They have to get rainy shots on a set.
I've noticed it only seems to be US films set in London that portray it as a rainy place. In reality it's drier than most of Europe and a large part of the US.
London's main stereotype in the US is fog, though it's one of the least foggy cities in the world.
I thought northern Italy was warmer than it actually is. They have very cold winters there, with frost and snow being common!
Another one is coastal Australia, which is portrayed as being sunny every day, though it's often rainy (when I lived in Brisbane it felt like a wetter place than SE England). I've heard one of our retarded newspapers call NW Spain 'warm and sunny' before as well.
1. Sydney was boiling hot year round - in fact it's a rather pleasant climate that has pretty tame averages (by the coast) but is still warm and sunny year round and can get extremes. Likewise with Melbourne.
2. France was much warmer than it is
3. NE US was more like the UK
