True, but then hot spells are less likely and the number of 30C days is lower than here. London's climate is very far from perfect for me, but I like the fact that 99% of July days are above 20C. Places in Cornwall, Newcastle etc get days upon days of 15-17C days when we are trapped with atlantic fronts steamrolling over the UK, in the same situation it is at least normally above 20C with sunny interludes down here
