The weather

We're looking at a chilly but bright start, with sunny intervals changing to cloudy conditions in the afternoon. Temperatures will reach a high of 9°C but feel notably cooler at 3-7°C.

Today's forecast:

• Sunny spells throughout the morning and early afternoon
• Light WSW winds of 6-9 mph with gusts up to 22 mph
• Very good to good visibility throughout the day
• Dry conditions with less than 5% chance of rain until evening
• Sun sets at 16:38

Make sure you:

• Wrap up warm, as it'll feel quite cold despite the sunshine
• Consider layering your clothing – you might want to remove layers when in the sun
• Make the most of the dry weather if you're planning outdoor activities
• Keep an eye on elderly neighbours during this cold spell
• Remember your sunglasses – UV index remains at one despite the cold
