Weather in England

I've heard tell that it's been a really cold summer in Manchester. Most days have been cloudy, rainy now and then, and cold. Of course, no one else is freezing, just me. I apologize to my country mates who probably could set a better example for Americans, but as my family and friends know, I am a cold-weather wuss. Yesterday was nice and sunny, but the temperature is still colder than a sunny day in Utah would be. Or, let me compare it to a sunny day in Utah in March or April. London is supposed to have really nice weather this week (20), even if the Tube weather is a little if-y with the strike. I hope Germany isn't quite as cold . . . or that it's not too expensive to turn up the heat.
