That doesn't make a difference to me. My expectations are different because I live in a different region and at a different latitude. I barely consider my summer to have adequate temperatures, so anything below average is a failure.

Also warmer than your location, which is basically in between London and Paris in terms of summer highs.

I'm guessing your ideal locations are the Great Plains, or southern Russia/central Asia?

Just like Seattle then.

I'm not sure what your point was anyway.

Probably thought that Seattle was still going through that warm epoch

That's over now, and they're having temps much closer to average so far this year.

Yes pretty much. My area gets moderated by Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes in general. I would say South Dakota or Nebraska would be my ideal continental climates.

The Dakotas have crazy record highs considering how far north they are.

Of course it's warmer. It has continental climate. But our forecast calls for above average June at least. Only time will tell.

Temperatures have not been the problem this year. It's the record amounts of rain.
