Here in the UK the weather isn't always as good as it might be. It's been cold and wet for the last 24 hours, but the sun came out about an hour and a half ago.
Current air temperature 15C / 59F
Temperature of brick paving in the shade 13.8C / 56.8F
Temperature of identical bricks in full sun 29.1C / 84.5F
Joe in his favourite basking spot
And you can see why....
Temperature of blue slate 40.1C / 104.2F!
Temperature of Joe 33.6C / 92.5F
Yes he had decided to move and have a go at my shoe for the last one
Anyway, I hope this little demo shows people in colder countries how they can really influence things outdoors for their torts.
