Should someone be wondering what the weather’s like here in Cardiff at this time of the year, let me tell you that right now it’s freezing. However this is something of an accident as the previous week was really warm, actually so warm that there were forest fires in parts of Wales (and elsewhere in the UK as well).

Compared to Finland it’s naturally warmer. For some reason it hasn’t been raining all that much or then I just haven’t been outside. When we arrived in January the weather was very much like the last weeks of Autumn in Finland. Somewhere around March or so it suddenly turned into a Spring, as you could clearly see trees trying to sprout new leaves and other greenish stuff like that.

But today I had to wear my woolly shirt inside cos it was so freaking cold. So in a concise form, anyone considering a Spring break in Cardiff should pack: an umbrella, a cool t-shirt, and a thick overcoat. That oughta get you through it.
