The UK is in the northern hemisphere, so in June when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, places in the northern temperate zone (such as the UK), will experience warmer temperatures.

" ... same latitude as the UK ..." is a pretty ambiguous concept, since the UK extends more than 10-1/2 degrees in latitude !Here are the countries that have any part of their territory anywhere within the same 10-1/2 degree range that the UK spans:CanadaUSA (just a bit of Alaska)RussiaChinaMongoliaKazakhstanUkraineBelarusLatviaEstoniaLithuaniaPolandSwedenCzech RepublicSwedenDenmarkGermanyNetherlandsBelgiumFranceIreland
Southampton, England UK, Latitude = 50.9º N (50º54'0" N) Longitude = 1.4º W (1º23'59" W)
Average temperatures in Antarctica are generally below freezing; in UK freezing temperatures are more rare on average.
No, the US state Ohio does not share the same latitude as London, UK.
oceanic currents which means more rain in uk but canada is warmer in summer

yes they are very common in the UK or places with moderate temperatures yes they are very common in the UK or places with moderate temperatures

I think it's the opposite isn't it? summer in UK isn't very hot normally because of the north pole... But all the ice caps are melting, and everywhere is getting warmer. If the ice caps melt, that means that the north pole is getting warmer, and therefore the UK. In about 20 - 40 years, apparently UK will become hot enough to grow olives in Cornwall. And the heat will exceed temperatures above 40 degrees!!
I pondered this question for a while. All of the UK is North of the USA, i.e. if the UK was moved across the Atlantic, the UK would be roughly bank smack in the middle of Canada. So why is it so much milder in the UK in winter? For example Bristol where I live is a latitude of 51degrees with average winter temperatures of around 4-5 C. Take Winnipeg which is actually slightly south of Bristol at 49 degrees, but average winter temperatures there are aroud -10 -15 and they get a lot of heavy snow. The reason behind the cooler temperatures in the UK is predomiantly due to the fact it's surrounded by relatively mild Atlantic, which play a large role in keeping temperatures less extreme. Also the other reason is played by the gulf stream which intermixes with the Atlantic weather system keeping the UK much warmer than in Canada.
Its goin to be Summer in UK in August.
Though it can concievably be played year-round, Cricket has traditionally been a Spring/Summer sport, appearing once in the Summer Olympics in 1900.
