Brussels is the about the same distance from London as is
Plymouth, and somewhat closer than Middlesbrough. But this is
irrelevant since it is well known that weather does not cross national
boundaries, or only rarely and with great difficulty.

lol... As an "outsider" I've often noticed this, Tudor!! However these
boudaries are osmotic: so yes, the very same question occured to me, as
southern England, particularly the South East, often have the same "weather"
as we do. Apart from typical regional differences. This must be North
Sea-influences.
The temperature differences over the Netherlands this last week was amazing:
from a max 16c along the coastline to 27c with us, which is a mere distance
of 60 km (37 miles). But we had a mainly eastern (Northeast to southeast)
continental flow. So the air cools down AND there were "seawind" effects
along the coast. In soutern England its the opposite, first the air cools
down over the sea before reaching Britain.

somewhat cooler than late: but still a Tc: 23.4c --- lovely ).

You live about as far from me as my brother, who is in
Hartlepool (NE England) on the coast. He's got 13°C, poor fellow,
whereas here it's now up to 21°C. Is there a "polder effect" on high
temperatures in The Netherlands? I'd imagine they're very shallow and
warm up quickly. Nice to see you back, BTW.
