3 C is a very noticeable difference. Having a 36 C average high here in July/August instead of 33 C would make a huge difference. Same with having a 30 C average high as opposed to 33 C. I think you're downplaying that difference too much tbh.
I am not used to wild swings in temp - it can be the same temp here for weeks and weeks on end - so when i say that 3c isn't much - believe me, 3c isn't that much .
In the Islands & especially in coastal areas the temperatures drop very slowly. It doesn't happen every night obviously, but it isn't unusual for it to still be 32C at midnight, then temperatures drop away by dawn to the minimum. The warm sea temperatures in the central & eastern Med during the peak of summer are what cause this...
yeah i can understand that FG , impression i get then is that 32c is very,very rare at midnight in mainland Europe away from the islands .
Paris a new record for 49N in Europe i'd guess -UHI obvioulsy plays a part i know too

In terms of average highs it's a pretty big difference. So you mean to tell me you wouldn't notice the difference between Chicago and Atlanta during the summer?
That tube must be a nightmare though, during 30C+ weather.
i'd imagine so - but i'd sooner walk - most of those tube stops are a few metres apart - nice walk through the parks and stop for a beer - what could be nicer ?

i would notice after a while for sure - but it's the hyberbole with Aussies (theyre worse than the American stereotype lol ) - you'd think the difference was 10c or more - gullable Brits take it all in of course .
Only thing i'm aware of is if you stay outside too long,the high UV will burn your face off .

Lovely
Fair enough, I get what you're saying. I'm thinking about it from my perspective. I couldn't imagine having 36 C average highs as opposed to 33 C like here, we would have a million more 38+C days and probably would never drop below 32 C (in terms of highs) from June - September.
Don't listen to B87 Tom, I used to surf in Cornwall and have spent a lot of time there, the weather is NOT constantly rainy or cloudy, in fact be prepared to be surprised, Cornwall is very beautiful and you will find it hard to believe its actually part of the UK. If you like rugged countryside, clear seas, beautiful sandy beaches and charming fishing villages you will love it. Downside is that it is very busy in the summer months and the opposite in the winter months! I prefer North Cornwall for the surf the south is a bit more sheltered, it is usually a bit cooler that side of the country because of the proximity of the sea no matter where in Cornwall you are but the temperature should be rather pleasant (as somebody who camped there for weeks at a time I would say be a bit careful of the sun because the breeze will mean that sunburn can catch you by surprise, again I wonder if it has something to do with the proximity of the sea but I have been caught out a few times). Finally whatever the weather have a great time.
That is what I'm talking about. I have seen pics of the long sandy beaches and clear seas combined with great British culture. I'm not looking for hot sticky weather. Pleasant average temps to sit outside a pub and have a drink and some good food. Walk around the beaches and hills. Looks lovely. Have always wanted to go to that part of England. I was just looking at fantastic train deals from London to Penzance. 6 hour train ride though but not very expensive.
Ironically, the "poor" first half has above average temperatures and average sunshine. So you're finally admitting that London has rubbish summers?
Dropped yourself in it there.
