When the ancestors of the English moved from their homelands in Germany and the Netherlands they abandoned the use of long houses (with cattle accomodated in the same building as the people), despite moving northwest. I guess the important variable is not the annual mean temperature, but the minimum (winter) temperature: Germany is continental (hot summers, COLD winters), whereas England is Atlantic (mild summers, mild winters, rain). Latitude isn't everything, even of Earth. DragonPass is pretty far from the ocean.
