    Alan, not all U.S. weather is like the East Coast. Here on my part of the West Coast we had 18F (-7.7C) on our deck this morning. Our highs in the summer run between 78F(25.5C) to 88F(31C). Once in a while, we might hit 100F(37.7C). With the ocean just 1200 yards west of us, we have a high moisture content year round. When we lived in San Jose, the summer temps were usually 20F(6.6C) higher than in San Francisco, 50 miles North of us. 100+ temps in San Jose were common in the summer months.

    Even in the high temps, I have been comfortable in my tank. The only complaint I have about my kilt in the summer is, the weight by the end of the day.

    Here's a photo of a sunrise, I shot the other day with my cell phone from our back deck.
