Weatherday: Terror in the tunnel

Planting the Convent Garden (March 2016).

It will be a mostly sunny day with some cloud in the morning and late afternoon. 

Highs of around 14deg in very light variable breezes. 

On this day in 1999 a fire erupted in the Mont Blanc Tunnel connecting France and Italy. Thirty-nine people died before the blaze was extinguished two days later.
