Weatherday: Ballroom inferno

Another wet and windy morning. Rain will continue until the afternoon, with heavy bursts up to lunchtime. A clearance to brighter weather in the early evening.

Milder than lately, highest temperature 10deg. Near gale winds from the south will moderate later.

On this day in 1981, the Stardust Ballroom in Dublin was destroyed by fire, leaving 48 young people dead and injuring more than 100 others.
