Weatherday: Woodsman, spare that tree

Wheel at the Corn & Flax Mills Museum, Newmills, Donegal (2013).

A largely dry and cloudy morning. Some outbreaks of rain through the afternoon will clear later.

Highest temperature of 12deg in gusty fresh breezes from the south, easing and veering from the west in the afternoon.

On this day in 2002, Green Party TDs chained themselves to the trees in O'Connell Street, Dublin, in an unsuccessful attempt to stop them being axed for a redevelopment of the street.
