Morning from Madarao.


Well, after all that sunshine and warmth of yesterday, this morning looks very different. We have cloud and fog and limited visibility and some drizzly rain too. At least it is colder!


The rain isn't forecast to continue for long so all being well we might just end up with a cloudy day today, with some sun tomorrow.


Today is the last day of the long weekend, a national holiday for the Emperor's Birthday.
