Our summer sunshine is always all over the place, and it's not weird to have mostly cloudy skies even during extremely dry months, like in 2006: Synop report summary

This is especially funny when the person lives in a place that doesn't exactly get huge temperature swings compared to the Midwest or South (like the NE US for example).
Eh. The Northeast US isn't that different from the Midwest in variability. More so once you leave the coast, but the population of the region is concentrated on the coast, so...
People in the UK who are not well versed on the climate seem to think than places such as Cornwall or Jersey are warmer than the SE all year round. In reality they are only warmer in winter, and their summers are almost non-existant compared to the inland SE (especially in Cornwall).
Totally true. West Cornwall has similar summer average summer highs to Edinburgh, it's the mild winters that give it a high annual average. It's hardly ever over 25C down there, and it can be downright nasty (17C with rain and howling wind) while the rest of England is 21C and dry. At the other end of the country, Orkney and Shetland are no colder than much of inland England in winter, they just don't have any summer to speak of.

St Helier has far better summers than Cornwall. 22C average highs, and plenty of sunshine, and by UK standards, plenty of thunderstorms.
Cornwall isn't good at all though I agree.
I wouldn't call that subtropical, but it's definitely not cold.
