I'm not sure how anyone can complain about 70-75 F and partly cloudy skies.....sure it isn't beach weather but who the hell goes to London for that anyways?
Let's face it, London summer isn't that bad weatherwise but certainly isn't great. Mostly cool temperatures, with some occasional warmth, and changeable weather with significant rainfall. Nights are very cool even in July and August.
It is basically the "nightmare" summer of Italian heat and sunshine lovers, and the ideal summer for those who hate heat and summer.
Midway's sunshine instrument is not actually on the airport grounds (it used to be until 1996) by 3 blocks away at a COOP observer's back yard. As you can see in this news report his back yard full of government sanctioned weather data collecting equipment also has many obstructions including trees, and neighboring houses that may impact accurate sunshine data
So you had a fairly typical June day and an almost record-breaking cold day in August.
That was August 2008, the dullest on record at Heathrow. Even February recorded more sunshine that year (and probably more sun than any winter month in Seattle).
yes, it was in 2008. Seattle has been having great weather this season with lots of sunshine. In a 2 week period, there are 10 sunny/mixed clouds, 2 cloudy and 2 rainy days which is unbelievable.
changeable weather with significant rainfall. Nights are very cool even in July and August.
The weather is no more changeable than anywhere else in most of Europe. The average lows at Heathrow are 14c in July and August, but closer to the centre it's more like 16c, not exactly 'very cool'. It's usually around 20c at midnight.

Significant rainfall is nonsense as well.
Average lows at Heathrow are 13.9°C in July, 13.7°C in August and 11.7°C in June. Very cool temperatures.
And about the rainfall, there are on average more than 23 days of rainfall >1 mm, which are a lot. And this is combined with low sunshine amounts. Where is the nonsense?
A notable amount of summer days are characterized by rainfall.
You mean in the same way that a notable number of summer days (as in 95% of them) are characterised by sun?
So London has an extra 7 days with rainfall compared to Rimini, and that counts as significant summer rain?
