Weatherday: "Sun, stand still on Gibeon"

Cold and bright, sunny spells through the morning giving way to a wet or sleety, even snowy, latter part of the afternoon.

It's not going to get anyway warm with a max of 5degC up to lunchtime and then dropping sharply again. Winds moderate to gentle as the day progresses.

It wasn't a good day for Galileo in 1616, when the Roman Inquisition of the Holy See demanded that he abandon his belief that the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun.
