Default Can anywhere have worse weather than Dundee?

I see Sunderland and Tynemouth are enjoying 21C today; is it really the
case that a few extra miles of width of the North Sea makes so much
difference, or is there some other factor I'm forgetting?


I live in Sunderland, and I can assure you that 21C was not reached in my
neck of the woods.

I live about 300 metres from the sea and the fog and mist kept the
temperatures pegged at around 12-14C. I drove a few miles inland this
afternoon to Durham where it was hovering around 22C in lovely warm
sunshine.

Arrived back home at around 4pm to discover the sea mist had retreated, but
the air temps were still around 14C although it felt a little warmer when
the sun shone.

You only had to venture about a mile inland to find the sunshine, but a
little further still before the temperature began to feel appreciably warm.
