Apparently it has been about 5-6°C warmer today than the average daytime temperatures we had earlier this week… but it hasn’t felt very much like that. I suppose I didn’t feel the need to do my coat up for the walk home but I think the damp grey atmosphere made it feel less spring-like than some of the crisp, bright days we have had recently. That is why we rely on instruments to measure things; our ability to gauge things like temperature depends on a lot more than the temperature alone.
