Especially in the location ceremony, it's twenty difference of twenty degrees. Yeah. Twenty five degrees in the in the night, only six, seven degrees. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. No. No. It's very interesting. It was it's very it's very strange to experience this. Yeah. Yes. And I'd love to hear, Bolzano, the countdown is the hot of Italy is not Napa, Napoli, or Palamo, because it's not changed the temperature. Yes.
