At the beginning of January we all went around wishing each other a 'Happy New Year' and I suspect that, given the current climate, there was considerable feeling behind each greeting. The Credit Crunch is has now become a financial crisis and this country, as well as many others in the world are moving into a recession which is set to last for some time. It is a difficult time for all of us. Those who are employed are worried about the security of their jobs. Others have lost their jobs and face an uncertain future. Those who are retired are finding their income restricted as savings or investments show poor returns.
A bright start on Sunday. Turning wet and windy later.
This Evening and Tonight:
Some late sunshine, then a mainly dry night, although a few showers are possible into the early hours. Turning frosty for some but increasingly cloudy later. Winds easing. Minimum temperature -1 °C.
Sunday:
Some brightness in places first thing, but skies turning overcast during the morning. Spells of rain through the afternoon, possibly turning heavy over the Moors. Turning increasingly windy. Maximum temperature 12 °C.
Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:
A few light showers are possible, but otherwise early next week looks mainly dry. Cloudy periods are likely but there'll also be sunny spells. Turning warmer but breezy at times.
