Well it was boiling in Exeter today with 25-26C and strong sunshine.


Knowing what a pedant Will can be, I guess "it" refers to ethanal
(acetaldehyde). Is there a lot of that in Exeter?

Acetaldhyde boils at 20°C. Did you mean isopentane? Nice
little refrigerant with a melting point of -160°C and boiling at 26°C
thus having a liquid range tailor-made for Will.
