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 dry start, but turning cold this evening with some patchy frost. Soon clouding over with outbreaks of rain and possibly some sleet over the hills. Winds strengthening overnight as milder air moves into Cornwall by dawn. Minimum temperature 3 °C.
Sunday:
An unsettled end to the weekend with outbreaks of rain on Sunday, this turning heavy at times. Often windy, especially around coasts and hills. Milder than of late. Maximum temperature 11 °C.
Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:
Turning milder into next week, with periods of heavy showers or longer spells of rain. Winds will strengthen at times, though there will also be some occasional brighter interludes.
