Having sat in late July and enjoyed the solar midnight twilight by the sea at near 65N I tend to agree with that

It's kinda funny how that coastal stretch has similar summers to Wrexham even though Wrex is sheltered! Late July is very nice in Östanbäck as the area is called! Some seasonal lag by the coast there so it tends to be very mild: I'd say 21/12 the final week of July.

Being a small island surrounded by water I can agree..but Im sure there have been plenty of 26C+ "heat" days at that latitude already in Canada and probably Russia...

As for the summer day lengths, what good are they with those horrible sunshine hours


Sorry just can't ever get used to British media outlets sensationalize temps that are anything but sensational.

Owen has made it clear that your day lengths during the summer are simply unacceptable. So that settles the matter.

George always feels the need to 'laugh' at what we consider heat for some reason. He does it literally every year and I don't understand why.

I heard they are having a horrible spring. I was thinking further east and 5 degrees south though

Yes for a supposedly educated educator he still has to compare London/the UK with 'effing Chicago

The only actual reason he does it is to try & wind up UK posters of course, funny bloke...

Considering the fact that you're so obsessed with UK weather forecasts, one would think you could eventually come to terms with it

Not obssessed, just the only English speaking met feed on my twitter and most of the Euro forumers here are English. And no, I'll never come to terms with it. I'll always find the British tabloid hype amusing
