Maybe Nick, but we're ony taking about changes(? - if they are) over a

With a bit of luck, however, we'll have a BBQ summer in the UK next
year! *)) (maybe we'll have a BBQ winter and the first UK winter 20C,
eh?).

A 20°C winter's day. Now that would be something.

I've spent time in Lisbon in January when it has been 20°C, it was our
equivalent of tropical maritime air: overcast, grey but warmer. Walking
around in a t-shirt and it feeling quite muggy was a bit of a novelty.
Trouble is with Lisbon in January, it rains so much that everything is
sopping and nothing seems to dry out. Anyway, the next day it was sunny and
much cooler and fresher at 14°C before the next batch of torrential rain
moved in.
