Go and compare your US cities - my neck of the woods is the same as Belgium,Holland,Denmark,Germany Ruhr valley and Northern France in summer ,Paris has a UHI ...my patch doesn't
so nothing to do with that tiny stretch of the English channel - its acts more like a river in climatic terms .
Do some research and come back to me
It's not just the English Channel you tard. The entire sea that surrounds the UK keeps the heat at bay more so than on the continent. Jesus, just compare length and magnitude of heat episodes between London and Paris and you'll see for yourself. Paris is ON the continent and can have more of a continental influence than London
yes,but that wasn't the topic - you said the heat doesn't cross the channel - but it does in the same way - the Atlantic on the other hand ,that large expanse of water on the complete opposite side of the UK does have an effect .

Check out the the Isles of Scilly
You make **** up in your head. Where did I state that heat "doesn't cross the channel"?

Look at what I said. Is English your first language?
"Water is too cold around the UK so, any heat usually gets downgraded and/or doesn't last long."
It seems to imply that the English side of the channel is almost always colder than the continental side of the channel whenever there's a heatwave. I'm not sure the long-term stats really correlate with that. For example, south-east England is normally at least as hot as northern France, Belgium, Holland, etc.
SE England has warmer summers than northern coastal France, Belgium or Holland, but those places get more heatwaves (and also more summer cool spells).

So essentially less prone to swings.
Are the record highs of England replicated immediately across the channel?

I'm sure temps will be close along both coasts, but inland say London north of the Channel and Paris to the south of the Channel absolutely sees more continental type episodes.
Random map found from 2003 heatwave
Another from 2015
How many times on this thread has it been stated that the heat "seems" to stop at the channel. No it doesn't "stop" it's just not as intense or as long duration. Same here with the Great Lakes influence. We see the same air masses as the Plains, but are downgraded due to the lakes impact.
