> I live in the north of England where temperature varies from 38F in Jan to 57F in August

38F = 3½C

57F = 14C

Not sure why you used Farenheit, but I live in the north too and it's colder and warmer than that. Currently 22C (61F) here in rainy Manchester.

I'm sorry but I don't understand the comment.

First, I'm not in Manchester, considerably more northern, so why try to compare?

Secondly, Manchester's average temperature in August is close to 16C (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester#Climate).

Thirdly what is strange about the temperature on a given day being higher than the average?

People from Europe likely already have a vague idea of what the temp is like in northern parts of it, and 45% of HN is from US according to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3298905

your 22C conversion is off, 22C = 71F
