He's from India so anything in summer less than 100°F is freezing.
But even I would be comfortable in a humid 70 degree day with a T-shirt, provided there was no wind, and I'm a heat lover.

Oh yes they would, they would moan about the lack of winter, because to most british weather fans, winter here is nothing like the type of winters they want. The "mild british crap" complaints come 90% in the winter due to the lack of cold, frost and snow.
In fact, more people on sites like netweather appear to hate warm/hot summers and would not want an average high of 80. I am an exception.

Actually, a lot of people on Netweather want hot summers and cold winters - the forum was very busy in July last year due to the hot weather, and people were annoyed with posters like 'shedhead' for trying to downplay the heat all the time (including myself!).
Well maybe. I see a lot more interest for cold winters than for anything summer has to offer every year though. Compare the number of visitors to the site during the warm spell last July with say January 2010, when they recorded the most ever.
Anything above 60 F is well warm enough for T-shirts. Nottingham's summers look lovely to me, perfect for outdoor activity without having to worry about overheating. Just because a place doesn't average 500 days in a row over 120 F (48.9 C) doesn't mean that it doesn't have a summer.

Exactly. Of course the definition of a season is relative to the area.
Definitely warm enough to be distinct from the rest of the year in Nottingham.
I wear T shirts as long as its above 55 F. But the issue here is whether you can feel the warmth in summer. 70 F is well above my comfort zone to wear a T shirt, but its not enough for me to feel warm. A little bit of warmth is always appreciated by me. I am not asking for 97 and humid summers, just a couple degrees higher would be better. 81/59 F is my Ideal summertime high/low temperature, and I am OK for averages +-5 F on either side. Similarly, 41/27 F is my ideal wintertime high/low and I am OK for +-5 F averages on either side.
I gave Nottingham a B, which means all other seasons besides summer are compliant with my wants.
I would think even despite the latitude, 70 F combined with sun would feel warm there (subjective of course). Not to mention there are probably several days above that most years.
I think people get a little het up over 'average' temperatures, it does not mean that every day is that temperature, expecially in the UK, where we can have a sunny week with 25C+ temperatures, then a few days of cloud with 18-20C temperatures, that is what brings the average down. There are plenty of days above 21C/70F in the UK & plenty of days where it feels 'warm'...
And many parts of the country have average temperatures in July & August above 21C, so there certainly are many more days above 21C than just several...
