HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
Very low cloud around, but it is actually quite thin & I've already seen a patch of blue sky.    If there's one thing worse than having poor weather, it is in knowing that most other areas will be having better!  Unfortunately, that summarizes today. But at least it feels mild & very little is expected in the way of rain, just not very much in the way of sunshine.
