Eek, that's about 1C, I don't want to leave home on the very rare
occasions that we get a morning where the temp gets that low.

Here downunder (latitude 31 degrees 58 minutes South) we are in the
second month of Autumn and the temperature today is 25C (77F). The
forecast for the weekend is 30 - 32C (86 - 89F).
