not a bad start to the day for some parts of the british isles, notably out towards the eastern side bit further west towards sale, there was a bit of blueness about that sky. they are the exceptions to a fairly wet and windy rule. certainly across the southern half of scotland, down through northern ireland, the western fringes of england and wales, you have that combination of wet and windy fare, so not particularly seasonal in the sense of snow and reindeers. this is the other face of december. it is on the mild side though, a lot of wind, but it is coming in from the south and south—west, so the temperatures pretty much where we have been of late across the greater part of england and wales, 10, 11, 12 degrees or so, but as soon as you get anywhere near that weather front, here a really dramatic change. very wet, very windy, and then get to the north of the weather front, it's a mixture of the odd brightness there and an odd shower as well, and notice the temperatures — three, four orfive. that is really quite crucial because as this whole weather front works its way with its com
