What's your weather like 2026
We were 19.8c for a few hours today but with the sharp breeze from the Northeast. I didn't tarry long potting up the Geraniums. Still sunny and 19.2c and still with the breeze.

If you think setting your clock/watch is difficult in the Uk/Europe, try driving in Canada. British Columbia has 2 time zones, as have some other provinces.
