July opens mild and bright. It is a dry Wednesday with a high near 26°C, the pick of the week and a fine day to be out in the city.
The mornings still bite, mind you. It was a cold 15°C overnight, so the city stepped out in coats it will happily be carrying by lunchtime.
Brazil’s next test is set. The Seleção face Norway and Erling Haaland in the round of 16 on Sunday, at MetLife Stadium just outside New York.
Enjoy the mild spell while it holds. A cold front arrives at the weekend and drops Saturday’s high to around 15°C, so midweek is the time to make plans.
