Weatherday: Baby in a billion

It was forecast, but somehow going from the sun of the last week into this morning's cloudy start is a bit of a shock.

Fresh easterly winds will also bring down the temperature, to a max of 11deg in the Kilcullen area. Likely to stay reasonably dry, though, and there will be sunny spells in mid-afternoon and later in the evening.

On this day in 2000, a baby girl named Aastha born in Delhi in India was chosen as that country's symbolic billionth person when the population officially reached that number.
