Winter is like that here.
We don't have snow. We've only got two seasons per year: "Winter" and Summer. The other ones just don't exist.
Summer on my state is max 36°C min 28°C. Winter is just like summer but with lower temperatures, and it starts all of a sudden: max 26°C min 16°C. But it's very difficult to get any temperatures lower than 20°C, so you can disregard the 16°C forecast for winter. Specially because this night the minimum temperature was 23°C.
It was most certainly not 41 degrees C. Britain's record was back in 2003 and was an impressive 38. I think we'd notice if that record had just got beaten at the end of May. May I ask where you get your weather info from?
When Shaun referred to 'over in London' I was assuming he meant the normal city part of the city as opposed to the 89, 000 people crammed into a space the size of a Higgs Boson.
Was at the Falkirk v Rangers game today, my arm and side of my neck is sunburnt because of the driving Lucky enough we were in the shade for the game and it was still toasting....
We complain when it's too cold, then when it's too hot.
