    Subjectively, I feel so yes. It seems typically that 21st June - 21st
    September is warmer than 1st June - 1st September.
    Of course, I could be wrong.
    Well, if you find out, let us know :)

    Temperature wise it looks to me from the graphs at the bottom as
    though mid summer is actually around 20th July, which favours the 1st
    June to 31st Aug lobby.

    The UK, definitively, does not have a climate. It has weather.

  4. Definitively?? I fort we lived in a Temperate Maritime climate.

    Not all of it, in Sunny Essex we have glorious sunshine in abundance.
    During the day that is, we don't actually have glorious sunshine at
    night that much.

    Don't you mean - there are parts of Kings cross where the sun doesn't
    shine ?

    Indeed, this does appear to be so. I *could* argue that we'd need to
    break it down by week, but I probably won't :)

    Interesting, thanks.

    Stand up and be proud to be old!
    A "sophisticate" would have a small glass, surely?

    So *approximately* March to May as some sort of wooly definition, but in
    astronomical terms: precisely from 21st March to 21st June.

    So if we should ever be speaking as astronomers (perhaps once a year
    if that), 21st March to 21st June. For everyday use, which to all
    intents and purposes is always, March to May.
