A beautiful start will get a little cloudy through the morning. Overcast through the afternoon, with highest temperatures hitting 16deg.

Southwesterly winds starting gentle will freshen and be a significant presence until late afternoon.

On this day in 1870, Irish Fenians undertook a raid into Canada from the United States, but were defeated at the Battle of Eccles Hill. You can listen to my podcast about it here.
