Weatherday: "The sky split in two and fire appeared"

A mostly cloudy day, but likely to stay dry locally until late this evening. Best chance of sunny spells in the later afternoon.

Light variable winds and a maximum temperature of 14deg, cool for the time of year.

On this day in 1908, a fireball in the Tunguska area of Russia levelled 80 million trees in the largest impact event in recorded history.
