And that is perfect riding weather. 
Oh yeah. . . Perfect riding weather.

I commpletely understand the struggle with extreme temperatures while riding. It's a challengge to layer up for the coold, but dealing with the heat, especially when it attracts funny looks for minimal gear, can be quite tricky. On a related note, I've been facing a seerious wasp problem lately, and I'm on the lookkout for effective solutions. I've found a kind of wasp repellent one day but I'd likke to be sure befoore using anything. I've heeard that it might depend on the spice, but I'm not entirely sure. Any recommenndations or tips you can share for dealing with wasps on and off the bike?i dont mind the cold ....you can put stuff on to keep warm on the bike ! but when its to hot ....you get funny looks riding with just boots and a helmet......not to mention the wasp stings
We also have wasps building nests here all year long. I just use normal bug spray on the nest and then run like crazy.
The next day I will check on the nest then break it down.
We have brief spells of not summer here. Today started at 4C. It’ll warm to near 20C.
For those that have a hard time converting Celsius to Farenheit the math works out to: (C X 1.8) + 32 = F
So if it's 20C in Houston (lucky bugger Sikatri) that's (20C X 1.8) + 32 = 68F
The difference in the two systems is the delta between engineers and chemists and how they define absolute zero. Ask any chemist about absolute zero (where heat energy is 0) and and they will tell you it's -273 Kelvin. Ask any engineer and it's -460 Rankine. The Kelvin scale is where Celsius is derived and Farenheit follows Rankine.
From the web: "The Rankine (°R) scale is the absolute temperature scale related to the Fahrenheit (°F) scale, and both scales have the same size unit of temperature. The two scales are related by the equation °R = °F + 460. Thus freezing point of water occurs at 492 °R, whereas its boiling point occurs at 672 °R."
On the Kelvin scale water freezes at 273K (0C) and boils at 373K (100C).
Class dismissed.

That is a COLD winter day here!
Yep, relatively mild nice day temps with nights sometimes a bit chilly here. It’s only going down to 8C tonight and back up to around 20C again during the day. I occasionally do the conversion, but my wife has always been more used to C so I have all our devices set to it instead of F. Although it’s pretty easy to do the switch on my iPhone. LoL.
Side note, doing the calculations for different temperature measuring systems was pretty fun in school. Still I’m surprised that 50 years later we in the states still use Fahrenheit.
I wish we (USA) had switched to the metric system before i started school!
That is a national emergency day here
I remember a few years back in the middle of our winter we had Temps averaging 42 degree Celsius = 107.6 degree Fahrenheit. That sure was a very strange winter.

I have two sites bookmark for myself as I am always needing to convert messument and currency.
Deep winter won't arrive until early January here in eastern Canada, but winter isn't the winters I remember as a kid or even 40 years ago.
Temps fluctuate a lot and yo-yo from very cold to well above freezing in a couple of days and then repeat. But very cold also isn't the brutal cold I remember.
This time of year, it should be at or just below the freezing mark. Yesterday it rained and was 14C (57F) and set a record for the day.
Dropping back to "normal" today.

Rocky, the weather is wild here too and fluctuates more than I remember growing up. I do love very few days of freezing temperatures and year round riding.
That would be a warm winter day for sure.That is a national emergency day here

The extremes have gotten a bit worse over the years, Texas even in my youth had a day or two of winter followed by summer during our cold season. It’s not good if the extreme cold last days in Texas, our electric infrastructure still suffers from the last really bad winter a few years back.
I remember that.
Hope there’s not a repeat this year. I’m not confident the governing body that oversees the grid has addressed the previous failures. LoL. Well, we got plenty of winter clothes from Finland to see us through if needed. My first chore is get the water out of the plumbing system and water tank if a freeze and power outage occurs. I’m not messing with broken pipes.
Broken pipes are no fun! Do you have a generator?
Saturday and Sunday 66F , ride time.
We have a tall thermometer this time of year, 38F at dawn, 67 in the afternoon.
