Monday 12th February 2024

Good morning, Moortown readers!

Looks like we've got a bit of a mixed bag with the weather today.

It's a cool 4°C in the early hours and doesn't seem too keen on rising much, hovering around 5-7°C as the day goes on. The morning's looking mostly calm but don't let that fool you, we've got some showers popping up around mid-morning.

The sun might play a bit of peek-a-boo in the afternoon, but those clouds are here to stay. Come evening, it's back to cloudy skies with a chance of a bedtime sprinkle. So, maybe grab a brolly if you're stepping out – better safe than soggy, right?
