HannaThe warm weather made outdoor recreation very pleasant. But beware: high humidity takes some getting used to!
ChloeWe did have rain before but it passed very quickly (and actually quite nice). Often blue sky, suddenly rain and then clear blue sky again.
Johnny boyDry little to no rain. Beautiful steak blue skies with occasional n cloud. On the coast doable because of the wind. Inland very hot and humid.
