Weatherday: The People's Champion

The Carnegie Library in Kilkenny.

The cloudy damp start will get worse during the day. Showers in the morning will become steady rain through the afternoon, some of it heavy and bringing a risk of local flooding.

Temperatures up to 18deg in moderate southerly breezes.

On this day in 2000, the racehorse Danoli was retired to the paddocks of the National Stud. Very popular through the 1990s, he was known as 'The People's Champion'.
