Weatherday: The slow pint stays

The wet and windy night will be more of the same through the day. A yellow rain warning in place, with persistent and heavy downpours marked from the afternoon until late evening.

The near-gale winds from the south will moderate somewhat but stay gusty and potentially damaging. Highest temperature 11deg.

On this day in 2002, Guinness announced it was testing a system that would allow a pint of the black stuff to settle in 30 seconds, instead of the traditional couple of minutes. We heard no more about it.
