The tropic of... Cornwall: Coastal county classified as having subtropical climate putting it on par with parts of Vietnam and Mexico

No one was talking about a tropical climate. Those are mostly found in the tropics either side of the equator. They referred to a sub-tropical climate, defined as somewhere where the average temperature remains above 10 C for seven months of the year or more and has little frost.

You know what they say... There's a first time for everything.

Thats what I thought. They have conveniently missed the really bad winter around 8 years ago when we all got snowed in for amonth and the cold washed out Augusts of the past few years. However, it is warmer than most parts of the UK all year round, especially winter and I have no issue with people visiting us . Its beautiful countryside here and great beaches . Its a blessed county.

See my comment on the IOW .

HaHa

The Eden project has cost us all millions of pounds in subsidies and Tim Smit has been the one to gain most from it but all it does is preach global warming nonsense.

In the red corner, some anecdote about plants. In the blue corner, actual scientific data.

No. The average includes the day time high and the night time low. Technically anywhere from 40 north or south to the Arctic and Antarctic circles are classed as being in the temperate zone. But places don't always follow the latitude. Mexico City is in the tropics but has a subtropical climate because of the altitude. I live in the subtropics at 35 north but the climate is classed as temperate continental, a few hundred miles to my east is classed as subtropical, humid.

And the Pound is still higher against the Euro than it was in 2008-2011 and 2013.

Enjoy! I took my dog with me when I went camping in Cornwall - lovely to see just how "dog friendly" everywhere is (apart from a few beaches that had summr restrictions) . Everywhere I went to eat had dog treats offered to Daisy and in one lovely place in Fowey the biscuits were served up on a little doggy plate! When I needed to pop into shops I was even allowed to take her in them (including a well known chain of chemists)! I certainly would not have been allowed to do at home! Many of the stunning gardens too allow dogs which is great. Have a great time - fingers crossed for good weather ! Cornwall is my dream destination when sun shines! ¿

I hope it's not too much like Vietnam - They will eat your dog!!

Eeeughhhh! Awful but sadly true..... Daisy is quite traumatised (probably scarred for life actually) upon reading your comment (yes I've taught her to read ..... ) so we will just stick with Cornwall thanks ...... and risk being called emmetts.

You and your dog will have a a amazing time, we go 4 times a year with ours for their doggy holibobs, they get so excited

70% of Canadians live further south than anywhere on the British mainland. Toronto at 46 north is almost in the tropics compared to the Scottish highlands just 11 degrees south of the Arctic Circle.

As you are now exiting the EU may we introduce to you excellent whites from the Niagara region and full bodied robust reds from British Columbia, grown at 43 degrees north in Ontario and 49 degrees north in British Columbia. Latitude does have its advantages. Advertising? Maybe, but you are looking for trade aren't you?

Does Government know? Guess that's the end to Winter Fuel allowance for your pensioners!! Maybe, ours will be reinstated.

And daffodils from November onwards, I love Tresco <3

Yes, the name came from the tourist boards They should be prosecuted for misrepresentation!
