Default Cold? What cold?

what was it at lunchtime, 11 or 12 if I remember rightly. Winter's
back? Really???


Made me chuckle. Maximum temperature of just shy of 14°C here - more
appropriate in April or May - a good 6 or 7degC above what you'd expect
I guess. Looking at
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/.../uk/guide.html indicates that
that would've been "exceptionally mild". "Cold" would mean something
around 2 or 3°C.
