London's winters are cloudy but not sure if rainy or foggy was my experience living there for 12 years. I'd say fog was quite a rarity actually - though there could be drizzly/rainy days every now and again. Its winters are going to be boring for those who want snow that's true. I only saw that perhaps once or twice in 12 years.
I stand corrected. I have always thought of London as foggy, but maybe that's just a cultural association going back to the days of Dickensian coal boilers.
However I would rather not see rain during winter (only snow) so I stand by my preference for Astana, despite the bitter cold extremes.

More or less, it's largely from the time before the Clean Air Act in the 1950's when the city was plagued by smog from heavy pollution. In recent times and when I lived there heavy fog was a bit of a novelty when it did happen IIRC. Mostly the weather in winter was just grey and cool with short daylight hours.
Not sure what this means - could you please explain this in more detail?
I think that marine climates are "on paper" warmer than they really are. They are less prone to heat waves and marine climates on average come at the expense of smaller temperature fluctuations and warmer night temperatures.

Still not getting the gist of this - my climate averages less than 18C in the warmest month, so you would suggest that it it feels "colder" than 18C in reality?

It doesn't "feel colder", but you'll very probably eg get less days with above 25c or 28c highs than in a more continental climates with the same averages.

So you're also saying that more continental climates with the same averages, feel colder on paper than oceanic climates?
No I'm not saying that. I will say that there are greater temperature fluctuations in continental climates and less in oceanic climates.
