Sometimes it actually does rain in Scotland.

All of last week we had absolutely gorgeous weather, up in the 70's, bright blue skies, lots of sun, the kind of weather that makes it impossible to revise for exams. Instead the entire student population turned a brilliant lobster pink.

Last night we had a thunderstorm.

It was a bit odd, really. I know it doesn't storm all that much over here, because storms require instable conditions and the constancy of the weather patterns preclude that a bit. But yesterday saw some heavier rain than usual, paired with rumbling thunder for a few periods of about fifteen minutes each. As far as I can tell, there was no spectacular flashes of lightning anywhere, just some thunder high up in the atmosphere somewhere.

Of course the 70F weather is gone as well, the storm heralded in cooler, foggy weather.

At least it's easier to focus on physics?
