Moortown's Weather Whirl: A Day of Peeks and Retreats!

Rise and shine, Moortown! Kick off your day with cool clouds keeping us at a brisk 9°C early this morning, creeping up as the sun plays hide and seek.

By noon, we're basking in a mild 16°C with more sunshine to brighten your lunch break.

Keep those sunglasses handy through the afternoon as we hover at a comfy 17°C. As the evening rolls in, watch those rays retreat, giving way to a cooler, cloudier night.

So, pack a light jacket if you're out chasing the sunset! 🌥️🌞🌜
