It was pretty cold in Oslo and that is not very northern.

Its 6 degrees in Oslo right now - in February.
I was posting it because there was -20 during winter. But now I checked [0] and it seems that anomalies are even further north.

didn't oslo always been warm bc of ocean currents?
Ocean currents and winds, but January and February have traditionally been the coldest months.
Weather =|= climate. Or one cold day doesn't make winter. Nor does one hot day make summer.
That applies in both directions and that was a response to someone saying it was warm in Copenhagen. I definitely do not doubt climate change but a warn winter in Copenhagen or a cold one in Oslo/Stockholm isn't climate, that is weather.
E.g. In Poland this has been the warmest February on record.
In what used to be a snow-secure village in Bavarian alps, we had 12 degrees last week.
Same for Romania, or close to the record, anyway. I don't remember any month of February where we had 20 degrees Celsius in mid-February, and I'm in my 40s.

You're not from the UK.

Depends on your definition of summer: if you apply your expectations from an August holiday in southern France to August in the UK, that is your fault!
