I also couldn't help notice that it looked rather warm the way people were dressed. I looked up the Heathrow data and the high/low for Monday was 66/55F. People there seem quite fine in those temps wearing T-shirts. Do you think they find these temps warm, or people are just hardier there?

66F for a high temp usually means we won't be in t shirts here unless it is earlier in the year. We are wusses here and would be in jackets, except for a few hardy souls lol.

In Northern Europe high 60s and 70s are typical of the summer. I guess you get used to it but I never forgot how could the mornings were, many times you would wake up to see frost on the grass and going to get water from the well in the morning was quite sobering because of how chilly it was

Obviously that temp in July, August or early September will have people wearing an extra layer.
I find most people will be in t-shirts in England if it's a calm 19C day, certainly more people than not anyway. I'm not talking about here in York either. People strip down to t-shirts here as long as it's not raining.

That temperature in August will still see people in t-shirts. I went to a big garden party in North London a couple of years ago, and plenty of people were in t-shirts, as well as some in shorts, even though it was only 19 or 20c, and cloudy.

People in England just aren't used to heat, so this really isn't that unusual.

Yeah, we have never recorded a frost in June-September, and have recorded a frost only once in May.

So, summer mornings are supposed to be frosty in Russia? Interesingly, not that frosty

Chilly summer mornings are no big deal. Where I spend time in summer can see average summer maximums around 25/26C, yet still see frost in every month,even getting down to -4C . Even in my area I've seen summer ground frost and windscreen frost by the beach.

Getting water from wells is a bit different though.

IEM :: GB__ASOS Current Conditions
The Graphs of this site seems wrong for non US locations.
In Heathrows case it just takes the warmest and coldest half hourly measurement, but not the final high and low temperature.

IEM :: Observation History

I've looked at locations in Spain, Germany and Iran and the same is true for these.

While for locations in the US it shows the final High and low of every 6 hour period.
