I think England is much cooler, I remember a picture of kids jumping into the Thames from a few years ago, they said the temp was about 100F. I thought: really? you jump in the river over that?
I think NYC is on the same latitude as Madrid, so England is much further north that New York.
Compared to NY, England has cooler summers and warmer winters. If it weren't for the constant rain, I'd say England has better weather.
England is cold, damp and sarcastic
....and has warm beer
