As for weather conditions here on the Canadian prairies, it's sunny, clear
and 19°C. (Hopefully that symbol from Arial Unicode MS's subset worked and
it's superscripted on all your screens).
TCM :-)
P.S. Canadians always have to speak up when it comes to "American vs
British" anything, eh. And as far as weather goes, I think the only
difference is that neither of you guys use Celsius much!! :-)

Here in the UK temperatures have dropped in the past week or so and the
weather presenters on the BBC have been describing it as autumnal
(autumn-like) weather. How do Americans describe autumn-like weather -
fallish? Here in the UK we also talk about the weather when we have
nothing
else to talk about :-).
