Weatherday: Divining the Stone

A mainly cloudy day, but little or no rain forecast.

Light to moderate westerly breezes and highest temperature locally around 17deg.

On this day in 1799, the discovery of an inscribed stone in the foundations of a fort at Rosetta in Egypt was to help renew understanding of a dead written language.
