Weather: God bless you

The country is under storm Denis warning, but for our area it's looking like fair weather through much of the day, albeit with some gusty wind peaking strong in the afternoon.

Some rain forecast at teatime in squally, thundery showers. Temperatures between 7-9 degrees.

This is the day attributed to a decree in 590 by Pope Gregory that 'God Bless You' is the proper response to someone sneezing, as a sneeze was believed to be an early symptom of bubonic plague.
