Outdoor swimming and barbecues plain and simple, and it's especially welcome if you live in a northern climate with a frigid winter and fairly cool spring
Below average summers in the US just means slightly less hot. Below average summers in the UK means "no summer" north of the south at least.
I understand, but the expectations are also different. We average around 45 days of 30C+ temps and 23 days of 32C+ temps.
2009 was considered one of the coolest summers in recent memory here. Average high temps were 77.4F/25.2C in June, 78.8F/26.0C in July and 79.4F/26.3C. We only had 20 days of 30C/86F+ temps and 7 days of 32C/90F temps. The news outlets called it "The Year without a summer"

2009 had a very warm summer here and the all-time high of 103F in was recorded in July.
