Default Latitude and weather

Yes, Tudor and Joe, the weather in Ontario in the winter is more
sunny, less windy and less bleak than Newfoundland, though the
temperature is similar to The Rock (an affectionate [or sarcastic]
nickname for Newfoundland).

It is hard to grasp that the UK is so far north, yet is so mild. Brits
who immigrate to Canada often choose to settle along the west coast of
Canada (Vancouver and Victoria), because though they are north of 49
degrees latitude, the weather is similar to that of the UK.
