Weatherday: The boy from Bohola

A blustery, gusty, and at times wet day as we head towards the end of March with a new time perspective. Some drizzle or showers this morning will clear for a time. But it will stay cloudy and later in the afternoon there'll be more rain.

Temperature up to 12-13deg, in fresh winds from the southwest that will get strong at times.

On this day in 1881, Martin Sheridan was born in Bohola, Co Mayo. He was to become one of the world's greatest field athletes of his time, in three successive Olympics winning five gold medals, three silver and one bronze, and setting 16 world records.
