No it doesn't when the summers in that time have not been normal! You don't know what proper UK weather is like as you have not lived here long enough
Why do you think the Met Office held an emergency meeting about the constant bad weather the UK has been getting? If it was normal they wouldn't have bothered would they
And I never even mentioned 2003 or 2006 lol...
when i look back at climate records summer didnt look much nicer in the 90's 80's or 70's so i dont know what are you talking about.
Seems like UK cities avg high summer temps are bumped by 1-2 hot summers per decade and then 8 crappy ones
What climate records? I am looking at climate records for Leeds and I see a plethora of months with average highs of 22C and above with most years reaching 30C.. why does it need to be 30C for it to be a proper summer, anyway? Surely 25 - 27C is just as good?
I assume she means that in summer you can have a daytime high as cool as the mildest it could possibly get in winter, as the record low daytime temperatures in England for June, July & August are 5.7C, 9.1C & 8.9C respectively...
i remember plenty of 12-13c weather in July/ August and same temperature in january, february but colder nights obviously
If you think about it, the best London/UK can do during the summer, would be considered below average almost everywhere else outside Western Europe south of 50N
Louisiana weather seems really fun to me. Especially with those storms they get!
Maybe sometimes, until you are hunkered down worrying about your butt being taken out by a tornado! LOL! Well, I did not live near the gulf so no worries about hurricanes. Storms were sometimes cool, I like a gray, cloudy, dramatic sky.
George - I will tell you again nicely, that I am not even remotely interested. It was a very hot month by our standards, and that is what we are discussing right now - the UK, not Chicago.
"Most southern locations will reach 30C at least once a year" - ok thats really bad :/ if they had at least 10-15 days of 30c each year then it could be a decent summer
temps always struggle to reach 25c in England and 30c is very rare and if it happens its usually London because of urban heat island
Again you are comparing the UK's climate to what you are used to in Poland
Temperatures do not struggle to reach 25C! Last year, which was generally considered rubbish even by UK standards, I still recorded 21 days above 25.0C & 2 days above 30.0C...

22c high is good for you? well in that case yeah perhaps summers are nice for you, but that would be a very bad summer month in Poland or average for the coldest cities in the country.
25-27 is not a typical temp here either, if most july- august days were 25c then great. but its usually 18-21 which is bad, really bad.
That month in 1995 looks OK, but nothing amazing either
If you think about it, the best London/UK can do during the summer, would be considered below average almost everywhere else outside Western Europe south of 50N
Who cares how hot it gets in Chicago, we are talking about the UK, you are getting boring now...
