I was 'talking' to Donna a couple of days back and she said

"Should it not still be cold in Scotland? Global warming is certainly
playing games with our weather (Long Island, NY. USA). It has felt like
June for weeks and tomorrow for just one day it is back to what it should
be. At least this year it hasn't fooled everything into blooming and
then freezing it all. "

Scotland has a reputation for snowy mountains and cold weather. However,
where we live on the Isle of Arran we benefit from the Gulf Stream which
keeps really cold weather away from us.

For me, I would just love to have an old stone built outbuilding with
thick walls and a concrete floor with a degree of inbuilt damp, but not
too much - and the windows facing north with good light, of course. Mere
daydreams considering that we live in a modern home with mod cons of
insulation, double glazing and windows facing to take advantage of solar
heat gain.

I work best in a temperature somewhere under 18degC and with fairly high
humidity. This weather spell has reached 24degC with very low humidity,
which is enough to stop me in my tracks. I set me wondering what weather
conditions others are happy or unhappy to work in - is hot/warm weather
tricky for everybody?
