Weatherday: Gunpowder, treason and plot


A cloudy start and likely to be like that much of the day, with a possibility of some sunny spells.

Light southerly breeze, highest temperature 8deg.

On this day in 1605 a plot by Catholic conspirator Guy Fawkes to blow up the English King James I and the country's Parliament was thwarted. Fawkes was captured and subsequently executed.
