yeah, 16 hours of daylight during summer means even more time for the daystar to hammer us with its heat. and the flipside is 8 hours of sunlight during the winter and it getting dark by 4pm.
but those long, bright summer evenings are nice when it's not 2138219219 degrees.

based on what i remember, NJ (and NYC) had weather pretty similar to budapest. now, i've never been to berlin but i cant imagine it's that different from budapest, just a bit colder.
so yeah, their weather is weird :)
