clear and warm73°F

A cold clear morning in Pretoria, near 48°F at sunrise with the lawns below the Union Buildings still in shadow. The air warmed fast. By noon it felt like 73°, and as the ceremony began a few clouds drifted over from the south, never enough to shade the crowd for long. The afternoon held near 75°. The evening cooled quickly under a clearing sky.
