The weather

We're starting with a misty morning that will give way to sunny intervals. Temperatures will hover between 2-5°C but feel much colder at 0-3°C.

Today's forecast:

• Mist clearing to sunny spells by late morning
• Consistent light winds from the south-southwest, around 6-7 mph

Make sure you:

• Wrap up warm – it'll feel close to freezing for most of the day
• Allow extra time for morning commutes due to misty conditions
• Wear layers that you can remove when the sun comes out
• Consider a hat and gloves for early morning or evening activities

The rest of the week looks set to stay cool, with temperatures gradually climbing to 11°C by Friday, before settling around 8-10°C for the weekend.
