Usually, the wild herd of kashmiri goats only ventures from the great orme into the seaside town of llandudno during bad weather. But in recent days, they have been seen wandering these deserted streets in north wales making the town their own. Time for a look at the weather. Heres darren bett. No bad weather today, certainly it isa no bad weather today, certainly it is a quiet weather day. Some sunshine around but a fair bit of cloud.
