Good morning, Moortown readers!

Where do you think this photo was taken in the local area in 1989?

A mostly dry and cloudy day with occasional sunshine and a gentle cool-off as night falls.

Moortown's Tuesday starts overcast at 11°C, with a slight chance of rain early on.

As the sun peeks through, we'll see temperatures gently rise, hitting 13°C around midday.

It's a mostly cloudy affair with some sunny spells throughout the afternoon, and the temperatures stay steady at 13°C.

Come evening, the clouds persist but it's all dry, as we cool down to 10°C by 8 p.m., heading towards a chillier 9°C by midnight.
