Out of the lake, into the Bath (also chilly)

The weather in Bath has taken a nippy turn of late, with a temperature of around 4 degrees outside, and a relative humidity of 83%. Due to an efficient insulation system and dehumidification program, the temperature in this bedroom is 12.7 degrees, and humidity currently stands at a paltry 66%. In the mid-term, the weather looks set to improve slightly over the course of the next 4 days; at least if the BBC's forecast is anything to go by.

When quizzed on staying warm in cold conditions, Miss S Rance had numerous suggestions, but pinned down to two top tips volunteered: "Go outside with no clothes on, take a cold drink" and "Sit in a paddling pool for four hours". Whilst seemingly sound advice, when pressured for some evidence of authority within this field of research, she was not forthcoming with any response.

In short, wrap up warm folks.

(The titular pun is derivative of "Out of the frying pan, into the fire". What I've done is change frying pan for lake, and substituted fire for Bath. Bath can either be a proper noun here or just a regular noun - it's sort of a play on words.)

A good blog once again supported by facts and statistics. I like that you also consulted an expert.
