    What's your weather like 2026

    Dull and gentle breeze. Strong winds picking up later. We may get some rain. Max 15c.But look at Tuesday - a heatwave. 18c and full sun. A good day to get everything out of the greenhouse.

    Just found this thread - what beautiful blooms and pictures! You should be so proud @PzaMayor3! The bold colours look amazing on your terrace so it must be a pleasure to spend time out there.
