All so far this week the (blond) weather presenter on the BBC local
weather in the mornings keeps saying its mild and will be very mild.
Its in the low to mid 20's and feels warm or very warm. Its bad enough
in winter when they go on about it being mild in winter.

I've noticed, through reading guidebooks to the USA, that over there
they use "mild" as a catch-all term to describe weather that's neither
very cold nor very hot. e.g. "the Pacific Northwest has mild winters
and mild summers". "The higher areas of the Rockies are blessed with a
mild summer climate" etc.
