THE WEATHER RIGHT THIS MINUTE IS...
Light winds from the south-west, mild [8°C] with showers. Very good for the vegetation so this blue island is looking decidedly green these days. Seriously overcast, but we don't mind because there's hardly any wind. The sun came up at 03.25 and will set at 23.28. Day's still getting longer!
