In Canada, if you compare the West Coast of BC with the Prairies, the overwhelming effect is that of warming. The only months where it has a cooling effect are June, July and August. But even in these months, some nights are much chillier in the Prairies. Summer frosts are unheard of on the Lower Mainland of BC but are quite common in the Prairies.

Same here. Summer nights inland can get way chillier than the coast -which is chilly enough as it is. A 5c summer night, can be 1-2C inland.

There isn't too much difference here, but then again all of the UK is ocean influenced.

Some areas right on the south coast and the south west have low temperatures in summer of 60F/15C but suppressed day maxima of 19-22C. In all honesty the only difference is that coastal areas here have far less variation than inland areas.

It is quite pronounced in winter, where night time lows in the south west can average 4-5C, yet 2C or lower in most inland areas. Frost is very uncommon in these areas, yet a lot more common inland (although last winter we only had a few frosts!)

It's because sandals hurt my bare feet and socks feel more comfy.

Lol, as if you know. I've never seen that around here, except on Euro tourists. Usually Germans.

I've seen Germans at it as well!

This is the stereotypical American tourist that most British think of.. of course most are not like this, but I have seen a fair few like this!

Don't be too hard on Euro tourists - they have little experience with "summer styles" - lol. When I lived in the UK, I would come back from a trip to the states and noticed how stylish Americans looked in their sandals , board shorts, and beach wear. In places like Florida, CA, the East Coast beach resorts, ...etc you can always tell a person from the UK or northern Europe -there wearing black socks, ill fitted shorts, and long sleeves in 90F heat....or long (dark) pants on with a unmatched dark top (normally wool) and look like they are about to pass out at any moment - lol.

You must remember however, that most Europeans (esp northern Europe) have cool summers, so they don't know how to dress for heat, and really don't know how to look stylish doing it. It takes a while for folks from the UK to learn how to dress in warm and sunnier climates. I heard a joke (but I did not take offense, it was all in good fun) one hot 95 F day in NYC when one tour guide say to another guide ( as a group of tourists were getting off a bus in Times Square) " Oh god it's so hot, all the English people in their dark clothes are going to pass out again" - then they both laughed.

So give the those from Europe, esp northern Europe a break - a 72 F day is considered "a hot summer day"!
