Pigeons readying for frosty weather by the New West parkade today.
There was not a cloud in the sky today. (Sorry, but the weather generally preoccupies me before we run away for winter.) All this clearing comes at at a price; namely, the temperature. We managed 12°C at the height of the day but tonight it is estimated to fall to 1°C. The degrees cannot get closer to freezing and stay a whole number!
Yet, we're off in exactly three weeks. In Sri Lanka, we can expect daytime highs of 30°C and nights that dip to about 25°C. Birds never have to contend with freezing temperatures near Colombo. The temperatures don't change much at all because the island nation lies so close to the equator.
