On the subject of climate: ever since I’ve been living in the rural area
(nearly two years) I’ve taken notice of monthly temperatures - on Weatherzone
they are given as an average monthly minimum and average maximum.
The latter is consistently about a degree above the long term average (although
this month looks like being the exception). However, the average minimum is
also lower thus dragging down the overall average.
