Me, I live in the UK, and I have one thing against it; it's not
stopped raining for the past month, and the week ahead's forecast is
for more of the same.
All this while southern Europe hits record high temperatures!
Best UK summer we've had for years.
It's been mostly good here in Devon but July has been below par.
I suspect Ed lives somewhere around the Wigan area (50 mile radius!)
My daughter emigrated to the UK in 2014 and lived in London for
several years before deciding to buy a row house in Brighton last
year.
As a result I now routinely look up London temperatures in our daily
paper (which lists weather for 30 or so non-North American cities).
It's typically about 5-10 C above us in Vancouver but usually rains at
the same time which is not nearly as often as the previous poster
claims.
I also have a cousin (native of wa.usa) who while in Europe met the
man of her dreams (a Portugese) and lives in Paris with hubby, dog +
cat and two sons (she's a commercial realtor) which is rather
remarkable for somebody who grew up about 70 miles north of Seattle
and not far south of the US/Canadian border. She says it's a little
warmer than her but not much.
(That was my one trip into the US since COVID - her mother's wake)
