So are you now trying to blame the performance increase on the English weather?

You claim to be a pilot but do not understand the differences in summer and winter performance?

Density altitude effects?

They are variable, you need to experience five or six to begin to get a feeling. This one is wet so far, but there are some months yet to go. I think it was 1978 that was hot and dry. They are all different.
