The Year Without a Window
Months that are neither mild nor dry.
Thirty-nine cities in this atlas never once manage a month that is both. Prague has three mild months and nine dry ones, and they are never the same month. The weather is not withholding a good season — it is running two of them on incompatible schedules.
