Nope. Clear blue sky. Hardly a breeze. 31 degrees C. Very little
traffic. One other bike rider, an 80 year old fellow out for a 30km
ride on his electric assist bike.


Give it 6 months and report back. :-)


In six months the weather will be fairly similar to now, except perhaps
a little more wind from the West. We've just started "the dry". For
six months we get cool nights, clear sky and warm days, with very little
chance of rain.

88km this morning. Only had the lycra skin suit on, and I was still
sweating.


Have you tried cotton? I tried some cycling clothes early on in my 20's
which made me sweat profusely and the skin itch, even gave me rashes. A
cotton T-shirt and jeans shorts ... no problem, that's how I go riding
all the time now.

Reminds me of people who ski in jeans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZphvfAQmQ2I -- Pretty good wet weather advice. I use PI Amfibs and not rain pants. I hate the flapping, and I use Goretex booties -- although I have a bunch of neoprene booties, too. No Lake shoes. It's another funny video that cuts together places in the West Hills.
