Weatherday: The beautiful game

The rain we had through the night will clear to a drier mid-morning. Some sunny spells possible, but isolated showers later before a clearance after dark.

Moderate to fresh southwesterly winds, with some gusts, and a maximum temperature of 10deg.

On this day in 1857, Sheffield Football Club was founded in Yorkshire, and is the oldest club still playing football, now based in Derbyshire.
