 Mainly dry on Sunday, apart from the odd shower during the afternoon. A good deal of dry weather next week, but becoming rather cold, with overnight frost.

THE NEXUS TEMPERATURE GRAPH shows a continuous run of temperature during the 1st half of January & the slow thaw that has set in on recent days, is clearly identifiable.
