Hi, in Ontario we use the Celsius system as well.
We just finished summer well we still have a few weeks left as I said previously but it’s starting to get cooler about 21° with no humidity right now and about 10° at night again all in Celsius.
When we have humidity it sometimes gets 35 to 40° in the summer so we have our air conditioning on I personally like just sitting outside in it but I can definitely see how weeding or doing work would be a challenge.
What exactly is a fig? I've heard of them but I've never seen or felt one before.
