Brussels? It's not in UK. (newsgroup is uk.sci.weather). Am I
really that bothered?

The group's charter says: "This group is essentially for the discussion
of daily weather events, chiefly affecting the UK and adjacent parts of
Europe, both past and predicted..." In Martin Rowley's FAQ, he goes
further, and says: "It is worth pointing out that the area embraced by
the phrase 'adjacent parts of Europe' has grown to include Australasia
and North America! As long as it's interesting weather, and within the
context of the rest of the Charter, then that has come to be accepted as
OK!" But not by you, it would seem.

As for answering the question, I assume that the North Sea and Channel,
though warmer than usual at this time of year, must be taking the edge
of the temperature in comparison to Brussels.
