Weatherday: No indulgences, please


Though the heavy rain of the night will clear to some sunny spells later in the morning, the strong to stormy south-westerly winds will continue, moderating in late afternoon.

More rain due late tonight. Highest temperature of 10deg.

On this day in 1517, Martin Luther sent his 95 Theses to the Archbishop of Mainz, which triggered the Protestant Reformation.

The headline relates to Luther's criticism of the Catholic church selling 'indulgences' to mitigate any punishments due in the next world.
