Friday 19th January 2024

Happy reading!

Today, we're looking at a day with some cheeky sun peeking out amid the clouds, with temperatures hanging around a nippy 5°C. So, it’s a bit of a mixed bag, but thankfully, no rain on the horizon to dampen your spirits!

Just remember to grab a cosy jacket before you head out, as it'll be a tad chilly, especially with that moderate breeze adding some fresh zest to the air. And, hey, keep an eye out for any weather warnings that might pop up! Have a great Friday!

As the Friday remains quiet for events, we will take a look at events on the upcoming weekend and Monday morning that you should be aware of.
