Did your tea taste different today? Blame Storm Amy, scientists say

Dr Simon Lee, an atmospheric researcher at the University of St Andrews, says Storm Amy will reduce the boiling point of our kettles. As any tea enthusiast will know, water usually boils at 100°C (212°F). But as Storm Amy hits on Friday evening and into Saturday, this threshold could fall to 'below 98°C' (208°F). Such a temperature does not extract the full flavour from tea leaves, so tea may taste a bit weak - no matter how long the teabag is left in for.
