Not obssessed, just the only English speaking met feed on my twitter and most of the Euro forumers here are English. And no, I'll never come to terms with it. I'll always find the British tabloid hype amusing
They do exaggerate tbf. The Daily Star has to be the worst offender. Every week their front page seems to be leading with some ominous news of a polar vortex or Saharan heatwave.
But is is in the British pysche, people are just obsessed with the weather, probably because it's so changeable. So it's easy to market to.
I don't agree -I work with plenty of people from warmer climes, as well as having most of my neighbours from overseas, and while will they will say that their home summers are warmer, they don't refer to summers here as springlike, or a non summer.
Suffice to say that I know plenty of people who have visited cooler places in summer and while not calling it spring they wore light jackets often. Especially at night. Jackets, even light ones disappear around here in early June usually and don't return till September.

Some people will wear light jackets at 35C, and others will be in a t-shirt at 15C, so the wearing of light jackets says nothing by itself.
Temperatures here are mostly low/mid 20s C during summer, and people don't dress for the cold. People don't to a beach on a low 20s day, and then wear jackets.

You use anecdotal evidence on here routinely. Your avg summer temps here are May temps i.e. Not our summer. Personally I don't care how many anecdotes you use. Send someone from July here to your January and they would feel cooler. Oh yes I know your super strong sun would burn them up. Whatever. I forgot you live in paradise.

The anecdotes come from you (light jacket), not me. I'm just saying that there is an absence of people saying that summer here is "springlike" or "non summer".
Get back to me when someone invents a time machine, but until then, no one will be traveling directly from your summer to my summer. Saying that our summer is cooler, is quite obvious I would have thought.

Exactly. I mean come on its late May. Sure, I have no problem calling 26C/79F "warmth" during this time of the year, especially in London where it would be 7 or 8C above the average, but to call a temp under 80F "heat" is just sensationalizing. Its just warm or mild and comfortable in my opinion.

But during winter, temperatures far warmer than Chicago also pass as "freezing". It's just the result of being acclimatized to different conditions.
