Tuesday 16th April 2024

After yesterday's blustery bout that had us holding onto our hats, we've been gifted a calmer canvas in the skies today. The morning started cool at 6°C, and while the sun played a bit of peek-a-boo, we're not see any rain on the horizon – quite a pleasant change!

The temperature graciously climbs to a mild 11°C by mid-afternoon, perfect for a stroll in the park or a quick coffee run without the wind nipping at your nose.

As we roll into the evening, the sun will be making a more confident appearance, so those post-work walks or early evening errands will be accompanied by golden rays and cooler temperatures around 9°C to 8°C.
