Besides, you're used to living in temperatures that regularly go below -10C in the winter, so I call BS on your kid needing a jacket at 19C, you're just being silly now.
You acclimate quickly here. Winter temps are long over and by this time of year 60'sF you wear a jacket. Hell it is 70F today and I had a jacket on along with many others.

and I even stated that 26C can be considered warm for the season too, so I don't know why UK forumers are getting all defensive..

I never said I thought 26C was 'hot' myself, but I don't doubt a lot of people in the UK probably will feel hot on such a day.

It's just annoying that you use Chicago as the standard for everything. Yeah, it's where you live, but still.

I apologize if I snapped at you a little bit.

I was just more upset that Razza thought I was lying about giving the kids a light jacket when they went to the park. Why would I lie about something so stupid? It was in the mid 60s then dropped to the low 60s. It was cloudy and damp out.

I never said 26c is heat. A typical May will see a few days of 26c highs. The BBC forecast for the entire country, not just London. 30c on the other hand, is heat. I'd pick London over Chicago any day of the week. I'd pick London in 2011 over Chicago.

It's interesting how there has been a sudden surge of votes for July or later, when it's almost certain to occur by Wednesday, possibly tomorrow (given that WO always underestimate the temps).

That means nothing to George. Your summers are too cool for him and your winters too mild. You should know this by now but you reflexively get defensive. You tend to think everyone wants a winter like London.
