Friday 3rd May 2024

You'll have some mixed skies early on, but expect those clouds to get a bit weepy. Rain starts to sprinkle around 8 AM and will hang around, on and off, through the morning. It's a bit chilly too, hovering around 10-12°C, so maybe grab a light jacket.

The clouds aren’t going anywhere, and neither is the rain. It actually picks up a bit, so you might want to think about an umbrella if you're stepping out. Temperatures will be steady at 13°C, so no big changes there.

As night falls, the temps drop slightly to 11°C and the rain finally starts to let up after 9 PM. The clouds start breaking up too, and you might catch a glimpse of the moon by the time midnight rolls around.
