Scotland has some differences, but if you woke up tomorrow, in any random town, in probably 95% of England, you would struggle to tell where you are, going by the weather only.
Really? It's warmer, drier and less windy every month of the year and sunnier every month of the year with the exception of December and February when compared to the English average.

This is further south: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalwhinnie#Climate
Dalwhinnie is far away from the sea, at an altitude of 359 m, it is logical that has some continental and mountain influence.

I think you like splitting hairs over small differences to make it seem like the U.K. is diverse climatically.

What a strange mix Torshavn. I'd be interested to know why Plymouth, Swansea and Newquay are rated higher than York or Chester.

Yes, really. I didn't say it was exactly the same, it worse, or whatever. I said it's a normal English climate, every aspect of it would be considered normal just about everywhere.

Pershore is a C. Looks more like a typical rural SE, East Anglia or central southern location than somewhere in the rainy west.

Lerwick is on archipelago over a hundred of miles away from the mainland. It's not even remotely representative of the general UK climate

Within the major cities stretching up and down the mainland, the differences are not hugely significant. Yes, some are better or worse than others, but that's beside the point.

not at all - i use methods to grade climates - but remember my differences only have to be slight to notch a mark .

I could go on ,

Rennes ,Tours C+
Nantes ,Lorient,Poitiers ,Limoges B-
Saint Nazerre , Vannes B
La Rochelle B+
Vigo,Porto B+ or A-
any better get an A or A+

then going north ,

Lerwick E
Reykjavik E-
Bergen ,Trondheim, Tromso E-
Torshavn F+
Bear Island F
any worse than this get F- or U


now can you see why i have to differentiate ? otherwise everywhere would get a C ,or be way out

Very good point .

Swansea has the higher sunshine hours - last noted around 1,700 ...it's quite mild in winter - the downside is it is wet - but i find it's a fairly OK climate still .
Plymouth ditto .
Newquay ditto.


York/Chester are drier - not quite as mild in winter ,but also have lower sunshine readings , temps not too much different - it is a really small difference tbf - but i had to make a cut off point somewhere
