Its closer to the equator
England (London) is at (Greenwich Mean Time) GMT. Jakarta is (Greenwich Mean Time) GMT +7 hours, ie. 7 hours ahead of Greenwich, England. London is 7 hours behind Jakarta. (Daylight savings not taken into account.)
Because it is closer to the Equator
London is warmer than Belfast in summer due to its geographical location and urban heat island effect. London is located further south, closer to the equator, which results in receiving more direct sunlight and higher temperatures. Additionally, London's urban heat island effect, caused by the concentration of buildings and human activities, leads to increased heat retention and higher temperatures compared to Belfast, which is located in a more rural setting.
Distance between London, England, United Kingdom and Jakarta, Indonesia 7278 miles (11713 km) (6325 nautical miles)
Jakarta is 6 hours ahead from London
Jakarta has warmer year-round temperatures compared to Shanghai. Jakarta is located near the equator, resulting in consistently high temperatures, while Shanghai experiences seasonal variations due to its more northern location.
On average, Berlin tends to be slightly warmer than London. Berlin experiences hotter summers, while both cities have similar winter temperatures; however, London often has milder winters due to its maritime climate. Overall, the annual average temperature in Berlin is generally higher than that of London.
London’s climate is modified by the North Atlantic Ocean Current.
London is warmer than it should be primarily due to the urban heat island effect, where built environments absorb and retain heat more than natural landscapes. Additionally, factors such as greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, and geographical positioning contribute to the city's elevated temperatures. The dense population and extensive infrastructure also exacerbate heat retention, making London significantly warmer than surrounding rural areas.
Two reasons, A) It is further south, and on the other side of the country, B) Cities are always warmer than small towns and villages. The buildings retain heat and affect the climate.
Jakarta, Indonesia Jakarta is the only Asian capital in the Southern Hemisphere.
Jakarta would be hotter than Dublin. This is because Indonesia is closer to the equator than Ireland and it is in a tropical region.
