Weatherday: "I'm Fitz-Stephen, here for MacMurrough"

A bright morning again with good sunny spells. Cloud over lunchtime will clear to partly cloudy in the later afternoon.

Showers from teatime through the rest of the evening. Temperatures up to 12deg in light variable breezes.

On this day in 1169, the first Norman soldiers landed in Bannow Bay in Wexford, precursors to the full Norman invasion that began a year later.
