>British winters are similar to Texan winters

Hmm. That's not so bad. What does everyone complain about?

>but British summers are more like Alaskan summers

You poor, poor people. Though they probably say the same about our 100F (~38C) summers.

Speak for yourself. Texas Winters with Alaska summers sounds awesome! The best summer weather I've ever experienced was 70-80 during the day and 60s at night. Absolutely perfect weather, until snow started to fall from November to June.

If I never had to experience 100F heat again (excepting saunas), then I would die a happy man.

I'd take the Alaska summers, but only without the Alaska bugs. What's the point of Sun if blocked by grey clouds of gnats?

Regardless of temp, Wet = bugs. Texas = dry.

>Texas=dry

Oh how misguided you are

[sandworm101]

That's the texas I've seen. Compared to Alaska and the rest of pac northwest, Texas is a desert.

> sounds awesome!

As someone living in Britain. Nope, not awesome. I can't remember the last time I saw sun. It's just cloud and cold wind. It feels nigh-constant (year-round) :/

It depends on where you are in the UK, but in the south the average of a good summer is 80F (26C) in the day. It can get up to 90F (32C) in cities, though usually only for a few days to a week at most.

Then I guess you can move to San Diego…

San Diego is heaven's weather! I lived 100 miles to the east and we had 123 °F in August and September

Mind you this doesn't include the Santa Ana's, not that I'm complaining...

[bryanlarsen]

> What does everyone complain about?

British winters have a similar temperature as Texan winters, but they have a lot more rain and a lot less sunshine (because of the clouds, and because the day is shorter).

[ascorbic]

Anything over 25C is a scorcher. Though nobody has AC in their homes, so we're less able to cope.

[icebraining]

Though they probably say the same about our 100F (~38C) summers.

Considering how many of them come to our Southern corner to enjoy our 38C summers, probably not.

(And they're very welcome, by the way! I'm quite happy to see tourists around.)
