British weather - take 2

It was raining for almost the whole of last two weeks. The rain has stopped, and we have got fair weather, but it has turned much colder. The daily temperature has been hovering around freezing for a few days now, and the lakes are starting to freeze.

It seems that the clouds act as a insulator to prevent heat from escaping, so when it rains here, the temperature is actually milder than when the sun is out. The opposite effect of what we have in Singapore where rainy days are cooler than sunny days.

The cold weather sets us up nicely for the trip to Austria, where the daily temperature now is about the same as what we are experiencing these few days. Cool!
