We sent out a message on Twitter and Facebook early this morning, when, frankly, the weather wasn’t that lovely down Ventnor way. Lots of grey covered the southern skies, but we heard from other parts of the Island that they were having a much better day of it.
It felt like a good idea to bring together another People’s Island Weather – weather told by the people of the Island, who let us all know what the weather is like in their part of the Island (feel free to update/ add your own at the bottom of the story too).
An hour ago, we sent out another ‘Hey how’s your weather?’ message on Facebook and Twitter and below are the responses we had back with the oldest one at the top of the lists (thanks for everyone who contributed!)
