What i would be interested to know is NZ's coldest summer location vs Englands coldest summer location at sea level - i'm not even sure which English station is the coldest
Fair enough, but during the times when people are most active, Ipswich will feel warmer to live in. The lows occur at bizarre hours, although for someone such as yourself who is interested in horticulture, I can imagine that average temperatures are the most important consideration?
Edit, I see what you've added, is there any official data for those claims that inland areas of the city have highs above 24C?
funnily enough ,our old friend Portsmouth beats Wellington on the mean figures lol
Portsmouths summers warmer than Ipswich taking into account overnight lows
March and November. Cool to mild overall, with occasional cold and warmth.
I think most people know NYC has a four season climate, but the cold/snow is typically overstated, while summer's warmth/humidity is generally understated. Our stereotype isn't as bad as London's, but it usually isn't accurate.

NYC's stereotype makes it seem like it has the climate of Schefferville, Quebec.
It doesn't seem like anyone can agree on what stations to use for each location. You reference a certain average and then apparently the station is a poor reflection of the location compared to somewhere else, which it very well may be, but if that's the case then someone should create more boxes on the wiki pages. I would but I'm not yet very good at finding raw data.
I haven't seen any examples of that by anyone - if the context is understood by all, then any factors that raise or lower temperature, sunshine etc, are just relevant information.

I not seeing the humour here - Wellington is up there between England's finest summers, even though it isn't well regarded in NZ for it's summer. It's also making a point that I'm not trying to debate -it's easy to show that some UK summers are better than some NZ summers.
My original point is that summer is the only comparable season between the UK and NZ, and even in summer, there's an obvious difference - between a NZ and UK climate that have the same summer temperature, the NZ climate will typically have one and sometimes two autumn /spring months warmer than one of the UK climates summer months - in fairness to the UK's climate, only the two warmest months should count.
Does Wellington have inland stations? You suggested that some areas of the city have average summer highs of 23/24C. I just want to see the data, would be interesting if true.

Wellington's not that big--it's no Los Angeles, for example. So there cannot be a huge difference.
Perhaps Lower Hutt is indicative of "inland" Wellington: it has highs of 22.6°C in its warmest month (February).
