Weatherday: 'A charming entertainment, chatting and smiling, and telling Irish stories'

It's looking dry but mostly cloudy for the day, perhaps a little sun in late afternoon. Rain later this evening will be quite heavy for a while.

Highest expected temperature locally just 14deg, with moderate to fresh southerly breezes.

On this day in 1928, the first professional entertainer ever to appear on British television was Irish actress, artist and singer Peg O'Neill, on the first day of the Radio Exhibition in London.
