Toronto / Pickering - Canada
Thursday, March 14 at 1:00PM

The Calendar shows 1 week to go to Spring (or Fall in your case...)
Looking outside it's very deceiving....
Bright and Sunny (finally)
However, the thermometer shows a 'bit' different. Cold Winds and a temp still far below zero.....

NOTE:
The Tv Weather forecast showed yesterday, it's the Coldest 1st half of March in 24 years.... :'(
In the same week last year, we had temperatures of + 19 to + 25 C..... ???
What's happening with 'Global Warming'.... :)

Current Conditions:
Temp: - 2.5 C
Apparent Temp: - 10 C
Sky: Clear and Sunny
Winds: Strong NW at 20 km/h with Gusts up to 40 km/h
UV Index: Climbing up to 5
Humidity: 53%
Baro: 1018 mb
Precipitation: None

We also had a 'peak-view' of the long-term forecast yesterday (March-end to June)
Expected is above normal temperatures (starting suddenly in mid April) and above normal precipitation.
We're NOT done (yet) with the Snow. (This weekend 3 -5 cm expected)

It's very common that we DON'T see a nice, gradually spring in Toronto.
One day it's + 10 C and the next day it's +25 C (often lasting throughout the summer till Sept).
That 'wishfull moment' (switch) is expected around mid-April..........

Cheers,

Arthur

New Plymouth: 22 degrees, sunny etc. However at least it is cooler the last two days and is pretty normal for the time of year.
Anyway, because the rain is due I post a picture of part of the garden, in the long lasting Sun that we have had.
