Those affect mid morning, and early evening temps though. Think about it. With 23°/13°, you have a mean of 18°C. Where with 23°/19°, you have a mean of 21°C. And you usually feel the days low temp first thing in the morning as the low usually occurs about 10 mins after sunrise

Are there any charts to show how these work? Logic would suggest that the longer sunlight hours would see a slower, but more sustained drop-off after the peak temperature has been reached?

If the lows occur just after sunrise, in the middle of summer that would mean most people would still be in bed for about another three hours or so since it's light at about 4am-5am.

Generally in London in July, at sunrise the temp will be about 14c. By 10am It will be above 20c, and will be around 23-24c between 3-6pm, before it starts falling again. Temp drops below 20c around 9pm, and at midnight it will be about 18c.

Let's face it, apart from people on a night out, or those working horrible hours. Few people would be awake to experience those lows.

Do you realize a lot of working people in Big Cities have to wake up by 5am in order to fight traffic? Here in Phoenix, morning rush hour has already started at 5am and I've found in LA that the traffic gets heavy at 6am

I'm not denying that many do, but it's not the case for most people. Studies have shown that the average Londoner wakes up at 7:29am.

Early to bed and late to rise: Londoners sleep more than people in most major cities | City A.M.

It has similar summer highs to San Diego, is San Diego not considered "warm"?
No, absolutely not. I don't consider coastal San Diego to have warm summer time highs. Less than 20 miles inland, it's a different story though.


Seattle summers are considered cool, and aren't they warmer than London summers?


Seattle tops list of cities with cool, comfortable summer weather
