Latitude is not all that gives you your temperature. Scotland gets nothing like as much cold snowy winters as Alaska, unfortunately.

Yes, we send you a lot of warm water from the Gulf of Mexico.
That mitigates your climate quite a bit but the fact is that your
climate is not that much different than the Kenai peninsula in Alaska
(for much the same reason, sea water)
The whole Pacific North West is very similar to UK in climate.
The ball chilling cold parts of alaska are inland.
If you live in Fairbanks your temp can go from -40 to +38 (C)
When we got off the plane there in June, it was hotter than it was in
Florida. ~38
40 minutes later we were in the hotel bar near the airport getting a
beer and the barmaid was someone we know from Florida. I had to ask my
wife if we were actually in Alaska

I'd prefer more wild variations. UK weather is boring.

It is still in Alaska for you. As I said, in Fairbanks it is hot and
****ty in the summer and ball chilling cold in the winter.

Why do people always refer to the balls with cold? Your balls are the last part of you to ever get cold, as they can descend and retract to maintain the perfect temperature. They never feel cold. If you jump in ice water, they can go right inside you, so remain at the correct 36C. If you're going to grumble about your genitalia, say your cock's cold.

It also is
far enough north that it does not get dark in the summer or really
light in the winter.

Dark winters do annoy me though.
