Winds will decrease fresh to strong as the rain clears. Highest temperatures of 11 to 13 degrees.

DID YOU KNOW?

The first aerial bombing of a national capital city was on August 30 1914 when the pilot of a biplane with German markings dropped four bombs by hand on Paris. It was the start of what became an increasing number of attacks on Paris by planes and Zeppelins during WW1.
