Why This Zone Is Different
Climate drivers: General wear, the occasional storm, and the age of your systems matter more here than climate does.
Temperate Moderate -- No Real Extremes. No major climate extremes. Maintenance here focuses on long-term appliance health and general wear-and-tear rather than fighting the weather.
What should I prioritize first in the Golden Temperate zone?
