Today was an enjoyable day. Though overcast and windy to start, with the wind at my back it was fine. I wore 4 layers: a T-shirt, a long-sleeve T-shirt, and two hoodies. By the afternoon it had turned sunny.

Now it's nearly 2 am and I'm still wearing all 4 layers, wondering when the weather will warm up.

A random thought – do canals have their own micro climate as such?

@GeoffHale

After checking the definition, I'd guess canals do have a microclimate.

Microclimate: Localized atmospheric conditions in the near-surface layer, which includes the air immediately above a surface as well as the shallow soil and water environments below it. A microclimate can be from a few meters to a few kilometers across. It has a set of persistent, measurable differences in the climate conditions from those in the adjacent surrounding areas.
