Stop whining about other people's opinions. Moaning and whining, just because some people don't agree with you.
Clearly, you do care.
I will have my opinion thank you, and my opinion is that 'sh*t' is not a very insightful description of the climate here, it is certainly not very helpful, it IS a lazy stereotype, the British weather..........THE most talked about on here and THE least understood.
Thanks of the heads up. I'll bring the coat when I am in London in late August .
Yeah and don't forget your wellies and umbrella too, after all the weather is simply 'sh*t' right? Oh and it will be raining............constantly, well permanent drizzle anyway and it will only be 20 degrees every day. At least if you are attired that way you will fit in with the other tourists.
[quote=chicagogeorge;48232176]Being a small island surrounded by water I can agree..but Im sure there have been plenty of 26C+ "heat" days at that latitude already in Canada and probably Russia...
As for the summer day lengths, what good are they with those horrible sunshine hours
Sorry just can't ever get used to British media outlets sensationalize temps that are anything but sensational.[/quote]
But your posts have been 'sensationalising' the British weather all Winter? What happened to the extreme cold, ice and snow you promised us over and over again?
London has the same summer as Auckland and London is almost 20D further from the equator.
Good point. I think Auckland and London sharing similar temperatures, shows how temperature alone doesn't define how good or bad, people perceive a climate to be.
London is hotter than my summer by 1C, yet people from there or elsewhere in the UK don't talk about warm the summers are there. The general perception that I've gotten from those Brits I've asked, is that summer here is several degrees warmer.

I do think the UK overall has a foul climate, and it's not based on stereotypes. Of course I don't paint the whole country with the same brush, while Scotland is downright terrible, the Southeast is only mediocre.

Comparing London with Stornoway is like comparing Nice with Le Havre.
