Oh trust me it is when you have just left 25F. I've arrived in FL to 73F and sunshine, and it felt great and quite warm. 55F and cloudy, no way that would just be chilly uselessness. The cold waves in FL are certainly shortlived compared to ours, but when it hits in the middle of your vaca it isn't fun.
Lol, when I came back from visiting Texas the first time last November, it was 32 degrees in the DFW airport and probably around 85 in the MIA airport. It felt like I had returned to hell. I was missing the cold weather so badly. Now I can't wait for the cold to return
17C isn't cold though. Genuinely cold weather, as in say below 4C, feels better with low humidity. I've worked in the Arctic circle where it's been freezing cold, yet the dryness of it doesn't feel that bad.
I know we all have our opinions, and are rightly entitled to them, but I've never know anybody say dry cold feels colder than damp cold. I could probably go on Facebook now and put out a status regarding this, and I'm sure all the people I've worked with would back this up.
Granted, I haven't experienced 4C weather, so I can't tell. Maybe dry cold would actually be more tolerable at that stage for anyone. I don't know. I have to experience both 4C humid and dry cold to tell, I guess.
Though, as I said, when it comes to the teens, their dry cold have always shivered me. That's why Koyan complains about "dry icy westerlies" in here...Lol. They really make the 15C air feel like 8C. Now would a cold dry air make 5C feel like -2C?
Yes....Go on Facebook and put up a status about this. I wanna know their thoughts.
The weather in Britain isn't harsh, it's just depressing. Even the cities in America with the least number of sunshine hours per year (Buffalo and Pittsburgh) get about 400 more hours of sunshine per year than Britain. If you're not that bothered about sun, though, it's fine. Doesn't get really hot or really cold, and it doesn't rain that much. And when it is sunny, it feels warmer than other places. Florida feels cold even in the sun in the high 50s or low 60s. I can happily sunbathe in those temps in Britain.

Pretty much sums it up.
On the gloomy side and very temperate.
Not bad, not great.
SE England (London area) has best climate....bordering on good
The Se of England is not descriptive or typical of the British Isles climate. The se of England doesn't even have a typical British landscape.
I you suggesting that the SE is not part of Britain?? Because whatever the landscape is there it is definitely 'British' or are you suggesting that Northern Ireland is actually the 'true' Britain!!?

Why are you on the weather forum? Are you stalking me?
Well, adjusting US sun hours to our standard would mean those places have barely more than 100 extra hours of sun than our sunniest places. Also, how can it feel warmer here in the Sun than other places?
