I see you have no problem with me saying our cold winters being like NYC or Milan?
Monaco is 26C highs and 21/22C lows in summer, with over 300 hours of sunshine. It is absolutely not the same at all.
Marseille averages between 11C and 13C throughout winter, with 150+ hours of sunshine a month.

A fine example of your exaggeration of London's alleged warmth. And you said winter and summer, rather than specific months, which is even more ridiculous.

I never mentioned sunshine originally, you just brought that up.

Who cares, you said a warm summer would be like Monaco, and a warm winter like Marseille. Both are complete bull****!

Temperature-wise, there was nothing wrong with what I said.

I don't get why you're not also mentioning the cold end of the spectrum; our winters are rarely ever as cold as they are in NYC or Milan, but it can happen.

Anyway, that original comment from over a year ago was in response to kronan saying that Denmark and southern Sweden could have summers like Paris or winters like northern Italy. Compared to the average highs, my comparisons were more realistic.

An average July and August in Monaco, are much warmer than the warmest month on record in London, plus the sunshine would be record breaking too.
There is absolutely no comparison.

A very warm summer month in London, would be more like Freiburg or Karlsruhe, and certainly like nothing in the Med!

I know it's an old post, but it's a ridiculous one at that. It's that ridiculous, I just can't even be bothered to talk about the NYC comparison.

For their latitude, probably. On a global scale, they are among the worst in that gray area between oceanic and cooler side of humid continental.

No. Summer is too cool there, and winter is too cloudy with too little temperature variation. I think the Northeast U.S. has the best climate globally.

Denmark and Sweden have crap climates to my taste. So no, they are absolutely nowhere near the best climates in the world.

Head 20 degrees in latitude southwards and you have some A* climates in the med, both dry summer climates and also true subtropical climates with plenty of thunderstorms and sunshine, together with warmth.
