Tuesday 7th May 2024

Good morning, Moortown!

Today's weather is a mix of clouds and sunshine.

Starting cool at 10°C in the early hours, we’ll see a gradual warming, reaching 16°C by mid-afternoon.

A brief shower might surprise us around noon, but it'll clear up quickly.

As evening approaches, enjoy some late sunshine before it cools down again, with temperatures dipping to 11°C by bedtime.

Whether you're planning to step out or stay in, it looks like a pretty decent day. Enjoy the bits of blue between the clouds and have a fantastic day ahead!
