Jamaicans endure cold weather while Britons, Americans flee  - Sports - JamaicaObserver.com
BIRMINGHAM, England — News reaching the Jamaica Observer team are that while the Jamaican track and field athletes who have arrived at the training base are competing with poor weather conditions, the British track and field team as well as members of the USA and other countries have sought warmer climates to continue their preparations.

The weather has been very cool here with the weak sun coming out for short periods only to be covered by thick grey clouds with periods of intermittent rain.

The temperature plummeted yesterday and at least three athletes, who were among a group that went to a popular shopping mall in the centre of the city, complained of being 'cold' and wore heavy sweat suits.
