Default Nottingham warmer than S of France?

Can anyone explain why in the S of France on Thurs 11th (max temp 21C and
humidity 50%) felt pleasant to me (I think most Brits would have found it
cool) whilst arriving at Nottingham the next day (max 21C humidity 45%) it
felt stinking hot to me. I had to have all windows open in the car to cool
down, somthing I didn't need to do the week in France) Both had winds
force 3 to 4.

I find it mysterious!


Trevor,

I take it you landed at East Midlands airport which is in Derbyshire, closer
to Leicestershire than Nottinghamshire !? But let's call it Nottingham East
Midlands. Sorry, a little pet hate of mine.

I am down there in three weeks time so I will try and understand where you
are coming from. One theory is you are arriving home wondering why on earth
you live here and not France, having to drive home when you don't
particularly want to and work starts on Monday. These are all stress related
and hence raise your body temperature. Good idea ?!
