Definitely not hot in Central Europe. 11-12C during the afternoon.
It's the wind that kills me right now. Chilly, damp, windy mess. And to think that it's a couple degrees cooler further east...
I'll let the windows open to see how low it can get indoors. Almost reached 15°C last night. People doing the Hamburg-Frankfurt trip must wonder whether the Wikipedia climate tables they checked before going are reliable or not.
So far my lowest and highest maximum temperatures this July have been 17.6°C / 63.7°F and 20.7°C / 69.3°F. Hardly any range at all. Sad that we haven't managed to hit 70°F in 9 days of July.

Wow... it really is cool! I have never seen a max temp below 18C in July in London.. what makes central Europe able to record such low temperatures? Surely that must record breaking for most places?
With all the talk of a lack of impressive heat in England so far this year in amongst the persistent average-to-slightly-above temperatures I looked up the years so far this century when we had to wait longer than this to see our first 25C (our highest so far is 23C):
5 August (2007)
29 July (2002)
25 July (2008)
I couldn't be bothered working out our average first 25C date but I'd guess it's somewhere in the last third of June. That 25C on 5 August 2007 was our only day to hit 25C that summer, which was a big shock to the system after the run of record or near-record warmth for most of the previous 12 months that felt like it would carry on forever, but that was nothing compared to 1993 with its absolute high of 22.6C and total of only nine days above 20C.

Well, I spotted a couple of sub 18.0C's from the last two years. 18 is only a 5.5C degree drop from the averages. I've seen 16.0C highs in London in July, 2000, London Weather Centre.
You Londoners should really stop exaggerating the climate of London, it's not some bloody hot arid desert but a small microclimate severely affected by human construction. Sorry, it's reaaally annoying and a bit ridiculous as well.
If it's possible in Central Germany and France it's possible in London. If the weather front would've been a bit north, YOU would have the 11C highs.
Not for self: If a Londoner tells about London averages, substract automatically 2-3 degrees and you have the actual correct temperatures.
Umm... London (Heathrow) hasn't seen a July high below 16C for at least 34 years. An 11C high in summer is only possible in exceptional circumstances in the first few days of June. Infact, it has only happened once in Heathrow's history, on 3rd June 1952 (high of 10.7C). Central Europe gets hotter than London in summer, it also gets colder in summer.
Nobody says London is an arid desert. Heathrow's averages are barely different to rural countryside such as Wisley or Hayward's Heath.
Luv it when foreigners try to tell us how we don't know about our climate when we actually are the ones who can prove what we say with the stats.
