For the first time this year, I don’t have to follow each temperature forecast with a deflating wind chill factor!

So when I tell you that Friday’s high will be 11 C, with 20 km/h morning winds, you can rest assured that it still feels like 11 C when you actually step outside! What a novel concept. And hark, Saturday and Sunday will be much the same, with a high of 11 C Saturday following some early morning cloudiness, and a high of 18 C on Sunday with blessedly clear skies!
