Monday 22nd April 2024

Good morning, neighbours!

Just a heads-up as you plan your day: we’ve got a cool and wet one ahead.

Temperatures will hover around a chilly 5°C in the early hours and only peek up to 7°C as we head into the afternoon. And keep those umbrellas at the ready—rain is on the menu all day, with chances ranging from a persistent 80% in the morning to a still-damp 45% by bedtime.

The wind’s joining in too, picking up pace from 4 mph in the morning to a blustery 9 mph by nightfall. Dress warmly, stay dry, and hold onto your hats—literally!
