Fairly bright outside with some patchy grey cloud. Feels fairly mild outside, too, with the temperature hovering a little above 6*C. There's a risk of some very severe weather during the afternoon - drizzle! This could cause serious disruption to any very tiny insects that have currently not slept during the Winter.

There is a gentle breeze blowing from the West, and the pressure is around 1028 hpa - 1 milibar higher than yesterday.
