I worked in Shetland many years ago and I can tell you that 21C in Lerwick
is not that common.

They'd be dropping like flies in that heat :-)

I too worked in Shetland between 1985 and 1991.
I can remember attending a function at Lerwick Observatory. Walking home
down the hill afterwards the spray was being blown off the Sandy Loch
reservoir and turning to ice before it got to me and my partner.
Vicious little bullets they were, but they helped with the sobering up
process :-)
