The low pressure from Storm Ciaran caused Britons to drink subpar tea, as water boiling point dropped below the 100C needed for full tea flavor extraction.
Meteorologists at the University of Reading found water boiling at 98C during the storm, highlighting the impact of atmospheric pressure on boiling points.
Researcher Caleb Miller conducted experiments during Storm Ciaran to understand boiling points under low pressure, utilizing temperature sensors and comparing results.
Alec Bennett emphasized that while mountaineers are familiar with pressure impacting boiling points, Storm Ciaran extended this effect to a wider region like southern England.
