So the difference between the cold in America now and the hottest UK days this year are bigger than the difference between filling a kettle and boiling it.

This is not normal.

@AdrianBowyer this is what is really wild, IMO... if you factor in wind chill, there will be a 90ºF difference from one week to the next in many areas of the US.

@rustoleumlove @AdrianBowyer We got it very mild here in the Boston area, relative to other parts of the US, but the temp plummeted from almost 60F down to almost 10F in just a few hours. (From a #TempestWX station.)
