It’s Good Friday today, just a few days before Easter.
And in the weather department, it appears today will be a truly great Friday.
The sun makes a triumphant return. While it may not be a very warm sun – and it’s supposed to be pretty darn windy – it feels like we’ve not basked in the sunshine for a few days.
So, if you’ve got the day off or have a half-day at work today, get out there and enjoy it. We’re looking at a nice sunny stretch for the weekend before rain moves back in on Sunday night.
