Field notes
The hot humid summer is the filter — June through September runs 30°C+ with 65%+ humidity, regularly punctuated by 38°C+ heat domes since 2022. Mild winters (10–15°C average, occasional freezes that knock out the grid every few years — see 2021). Spring (March–April) and fall (October–November) are the postcard windows.
