As the expression goes, same verse, same as the first — that’s how these weather reports have felt this week.

Why do I say that? Well, much like yesterday and the day before, we have a sky with a lot of sun and clouds, winds up to 40 km/h by the afternoon, and a high of 14 C that the wind will make it difficult to enjoy. Friday will be much the same, with 40 km/h winds and a mix of sun and cloud by the afternoon, with a high of 16 C.

Though, if we want to look at the positives, at least wind is better than rain!
