Weatherday: Black Saturday

Cliffs of Moher (2015).

Mostly cloudy and wet with persistent spells of rain, heavy at times and a risk of localised flooding.

Highest temperature 15deg in fresh gusty breezes from the south, moderating later.

This day in 1962 was the most fraught in the Cuban Missile Crisis, when an American spy plane was shot down over Cuba and the US Navy dropped warning depth charges on Soviet submarines near the island.
