Weatherday: Once around the world

A hazy start that may persist through the day. Possibility of sunny spells.

Remaining cool with maximum temperatures 5-8deg, in gentle northerly breeze.

On this day in 2005, American adventurer Steve Fossett landed in Salina, Kansas, USA, having taken off from there 67 hours before and in the meantime becoming the first person to fly around the world without refuelling.
