Fairly mild weather today, if you're alright with 26 mph gusts. It's 9 degrees at the moment, but we'll reach the heady heights of 13 degrees by lunch time, before dropping back down to 9 degrees again. It should be dry throughout the day and evening.

Today marks the fourth year of the full scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces. Putin famously said the war wouldn't last two weeks, but here we still find ourselves, with Ukraine still able to bravely fight for their country. Tonight, at 6pm by the Brian Clough statue on Kings Street, there will be a vigil to spend some time thinking about those lost, those who have had to flee, and those who are fighting. Meeting tonight will show Nottingham's solidarity with Ukraine.

We hope to have more on this at 2pm this afternoon.
