Weatherday: Blue in the sky

Donkeys in Mija village, Spain, 2003.

Sunny spells this morning and early afternoon will give way to rain later. Some very heavy showers in the evening.

Temperatures up to 18deg in fresh breezes from the south, easing and shifting westerly with the rain.

On this day in 1950, the sun appeared an indigo blue colour in Europe because of forest fires in British Columbia, Canada.
