LOL even up here in Buxton, Derbyshire over 1000ft above sea level has seen 80F this year!
The difference between Seattle and London's weather is generally so slight that some years London would be the better place to be for warmth etc.. and other years Seattle would be. Take July 2006, London had a higher average max temperature than Seattle has ever had in any month on record.
I looked up July 2006 from the wunderground.com for London. Looking at the numbers (Average hi 81, low 60), it looks like London got a typical summer month where I live in New England, not unusually hot or cold for us. It wouldn't mistake the numbers of August 2006 for New England weather, it would probably break records if we had that weather here in August; though we had a month in June last year that was similar, which was one of the coldest Junes on record.

London Heathrow airport averaged a high of 28.2°c / 82.8°f for July 2006. This would be far above average and very unsual of course. This is actual about the same as the hottest July for Seattle I could find (July 2009). But still the two places are nearly 5,000 miles apart and at the end of the day are different places so yes they have different climates, which is why I don't get Botev1912's continuous comparing the two places as if trying to make some point or other.

Oh, I was going a bit off topic. I was comparing London to where I live in Western Massachusetts in the US. I thought it was interesting that London's hottest summer month= Western Massachusetts' average summer, while the next month, August 2006, would probably be a record cold month if we had that weather.
Did most people in England like their "hot" summer or complain about it?

As for July 2006 I personally liked it as it wasn't so hot here where I am, but I would have liked to have been in London, the hottest place for the "heatwave".
A lot of people weren't used to such above average temperature. It was also considerably humid because of the maritime climate here. There were excess deaths associated with it amongst the old population as nobody has air conditioning in their homes here.
August 2006 was dominated by northerly winds which is why it was cool (it was below average in temperature) and unsettled. September 2006 was actually warmer than that August.
England doesn't have the infrastructure to cope with extremes in weather. We can barely cope with an inch of snow, temps over 35C as in July 2006, or excess rain, or droughts.
England have no chances since there are Spain, Brazil, Argentina and even Italy
No no no England will surely win.
Now for an interesting question. Considering I live in one of the "coldest and wettest" parts of the UK (a goood 4C colder than London on average).
Up to the 22nd:
How much rain has Seattle had this June?
What is your average maximum temperature?
How many days have exceeded 75F so far?
LOL. If the NWS website is true, Seattle's had twice the rain we have, Buxton Derbs' average max is higher than Seattles so far, and we also hit 75F and you have yet to LOL. How crap is that?
Let alone London, who's a good 4C warmer than that still. Not going awfully well over there is it?
