Tuesday 12th March 2024

Good morning, Moortown readers!

Today's weather in our lovely area looks quite dynamic!

Early birds will step out to a cool 5°C, with rain chances ramping up through the morning. If you're out around 10 AM, expect an 80% chance of rain, so don't forget that umbrella!

The rain probability lessens after lunchtime, just as temperatures rise to a comfy 11°C.

The evening should be mostly dry, with the occasional chance of a drizzle around 8 PM. Night owls will enjoy a steady 11°C with clearer skies. Stay dry and enjoy your day!
