THRONE WEATHER — your daily forecast from the Kingdom Weather Desk.
Today: a north wind, sharp and businesslike, gusting to "hold onto your hat" and occasionally beyond that into "the hat is gone, accept it." Light hoops drifting fast and low — beautiful to watch, inadvisable to chase.
Tonight: clear and cold, with the fire-rings — great rings of golden fire, drifting slow through the dark — expected to drift low over the fields once the wind drops. Secure loose hats, small dogs, and dignity before you go out to count them.
The outlook: the wind eases by midweek, with calmer air and steadier rings after dark. The Desk suggests an evening walk to count them, and notes that the young ones love counting them best of all — a fine excuse to take the grandchildren out, or to read a story together when you get back inside.
