<para>Actually, looking at it again, I realise that I swapped the order
of that statements that randomized the rain and temperature.
The tests now initialise the stream of mock random numbers in the wrong
-order. This is not good: tests should not be tied to the internal
+order. This should not matter: the numbers are random so the order
+in which they are read from the stream doesn't matter. But my tests

+This is not good: tests should not be tied to the internal
implementation details of the class. They should specify only its externally
visible behaviour. How can I make my tests less brittle?
