Combined with averages from 3 other cities, how do you rate London's improved climate?
How do you rate this improved London climate?-improved-london-climate.png

Record Highs
Hobart, Taz, Aus (Obviously in reverse as seasons are backwards in Aus!)

Average Highs
October to Feb: Portsmouth, England, UK
March to September: Heathrow, London, UK

Average Lows

Portsmouth, England, UK

Record Lows
Heathrow, London, UK

Rainfall and Rainy Days
Portsmouth, England, UK

Sunshine hours and Maximum Possible % of Sunshine
September to March: Melbourne, Victoria, Aus (Obviously in reverse as seasons are backwards in Aus!)
April to August: Portsmouth, England, UK

I would personally rate it a B-. Plenty of Sunshine, though winters would still be a drag... However, not so much of that just gray staff in the sky! LOL
So with this improvement to London, how do you rate the city?

What's so wrong with it? You like overcast and Drizzle in winter? In this world, London would get a sufficient amount of sun!

It takes it up to a C+ for me.

Transition seasons still too cool for my liking, although average lows are getting better.. in fact Heathrow for 1991-2014 has average lows about 1C above the 1981-2010 averages, so it is similar to your chart but warmer in Spring and Autumn

The fact that winters are milder (less chance of snow) and with the 42c record high gives London a lower grade...

That makes it even better for me

Although in all seriousness, I wouldn't mind a short cold snap this winter with some really heavy snow for some interest! As long as it lasts no longer than a few days..

C+ for me.

Winter is a bit cool, with lowish sunshine. Could do with more rain.

It's a C+. A lot more sunshine which is a big improvement over the real one but still not warm enough for me.
