Weatherday: Le Diable Rouge victorious

A bit more benign today, cloud clearing to sunny spells by lunchtime.

No rain forecast, westerly gentle breezes. Temperature reaching 17deg.

On this day in 1903, one of the greatest motoring events was held in Ireland - the Gordon Bennett Race, sponsored by James Gordon Bennett, owner of the New York Herald. It started and finished in Ballyshannon, just south of Kilcullen.
