Morning all, not sure temps etc as weather station broken, hoping some one can help, I know very little about reading charts or how to predict the weather I only read whats on the forums and look at the 10 day at a glance thing, but my 8 year old son has a real interest in the weather, does anyone know any sites / links he can read that will give him an insight on how to tell what may happen etc etc. ( He was up at 5.30am grabbed the laptop and went straight on to Net Weather!!!!

Cold day with the temperature around 2*C, (or just below). One or two odd sleety showers invaded the area during the afternoon, and the clouds have had a nice wintry look to them. :) A gentle-moderate wind blowing from the South.
