Lack of a Temperate Climate

It is, btw, dang hot here in central New England. Especially for someone who has spent three years in England, where they have a temperate climate, with a narrow range of possibilities, usually a binary option of light drizzle or brilliant sunshine. On Sunday it was cold enough that you had to wear a fleece everywhere. Today it's shorts, t-shirt and sandals. Such craziness! Americans just don't appreciate that even in the most mild and temperate of their regions the weather seems extreme.
