Weatherday: Once around the world


It has been a very frosty night, so be careful on the roads and underfoot. Sunny spells later in the day but temperatures staying down around the 2deg mark.

Light southerly breeze, and early evening will go sub-zero again.

On this day in 1890, American journalist Nellie Bly completed a round the world trip in 72 days, beating the fictitious 80 days one by Phileas Fogg in the Jules Verne novel.
