With them being close to the landmass of Europe and Africa, they get some awesome warm air arriving from the south. I can vividly recall a 'heatwave' arriving when I lived there... the weather was typically dull, cool and overcast, I was sitting on a park bench and the sky cleared over about half an hour and the temperature went up quite a bit. The weather for the next couple of weeks were bliss.

Cheers,

G

Yes, its the continental affect. If where 50km from Australia we would have a much warmer climate.

But England gets a very long miserable winter Michael.
