"No one moves to London for the weather, which is just as well if you buy an apartment at the top of London's Shard skyscraper, the highest in Western Europe. Residents may sit in or above the clouds on about one in four days a year, obscuring the spectacular views.

The highest home will be at 735 feet, on the 65th floor of the 1,016-foot (310-meter) tower near London Bridge. The bottom of the city's cloud layer, known as the cloud ceiling, is at or below 700 feet for at least an hour for an average of 83 days a year, according to AccuWeather Inc. The Pennsylvania-based forecaster compiled the data in the eight years through 2010.

'You'll definitely have the experience at some point of looking out and only seeing the cloud bank below you, almost like you would in an aircraft,' said Stephan Reinke, a London- based architect who was one of the designers of the 1-kilometer (0.6-mile) high Nakheel Tower in Dubai."

I guess it's not too surprising, seeing their height but it's still impressive.
