Monday 29th January 2024

Good morning, Moortown readers!

Just a heads-up for the day: we've got a consistent rain forecast ahead. Temperatures will hover around 6°C to 8°C throughout the day, so it might feel a bit chilly. With rain probabilities sticking at 80-90%, it's safe to say you'll need an umbrella from morning till night.

Winds are moderate, so it shouldn't disrupt your day too much, but just enough to remind you it's there. Stay dry and keep warm! If you're stepping out, make sure to layer up and maybe treat yourself to something warm after reaching your destination.

Take extra care throughout the day as a Yellow Rain warning has been issues for the area.
