[Weather-history]

It's a great day to look at distant showers and look at the radar to see where they are. Clear blue skies apart from distant showers to the NW. According to the radar, they are located tracking into the Morecambe Bay Area.

[Gibby]

A bright enough start after some heavy rain and hail showers overnight. Showers are decaying as the winds have backed SW now but a veer in winds towards the West again through the day should bring us back under attack again later. Currently 5C.
