Here's a random day: History | Weather Underground

After a low of 57 F, it was already 70 F before 9AM. It didn't drop below 70 F until 9PM. The next day had a low of 64 F, but that was only for a couple hours in the middle of the night. It was in the 70s by 8AM.

Your climate is not nearly as warm as Philadelphia.

That's not the point. No doubt Philadelphia is warmer, but the point is that the average low here is deceiving.

Looks like London may be a little slower to warm up in the morning, but evenings generally look warm.

If its 23C outside the tube won't be that hot. Only during heatwaves it gets really hot on the tube. And also depends on what tube line your on...

75F is the average high in London during July/August... And it is frequently much warmer than that too & shock horror, quite often sunny as well...

And just as frequently cooler as well then. Average temp give a representation of the range of temps. The avg high isn't 75 in July/August. It is around 74.3 F in July, 73.8 in August, 69.8F in June, and 67.8F in September. These are the 1981-2010 averages for Greater London Heathrow. Weather and climate change - Met Office

I've been to the UK and speak from experience. The summers in London can indeed be quite pleasant, but not all the time. I've never been as hot in London as I was in June one year in Toronto. On the other hand, I nearly froze to death in Toronto one year in February, and never, ever felt that way in London.

I've given an example, but days above 25C are far more frequent in July and August than days below 20C in London.

Thank you someone actually said that! I'll say Summers in London range between 19C to 27C very easily. The further away from that range the less likely.
