20C is your cut off for a summer high? That would be a decent summer low for me

I think we all understand what your cutoff point is - you've made it clear a million times!

London is definitely a 4 season climate. What about the sunlight, or vegetation - it's easy to distinguish a rainy winter day from a rainy summer day. Not to mention a warm, rainy winter day would be about 13-14C while a cold rainy summer day will be about 17-20C, and wouldn't rain anywhere near as long.

Average highs above 80 in summer are a must for a four season climate in my opinion.
Why pick on London particularly I included Christchurch (NZ) for a reason. London does have 4 seasons maybe not as well defined but its still has 4 seasons. Anyway lets not get into a pointless argument over something so trivial and stupid because everybody knows London has 4 seasons, FACT.

Yeah, at night. The coldest July high since 1980 was recorded in 2005, and was 16.0C.

It's hardly a common occurrence though, not like you could get dropped off on a random day in summer or winter and not know what the season was!

It's not just me. Just ask anyone who lives in Chicago, NYC, Philadelphia, Rome, Madrid, or any other city located on or around the 41N line (much less anyone further south) what mid summer lows they would be accustomed to, they would say 20C is more or less typical. A 20C high would be a record breaking low max temp.
