Weatherday: Waves of terror

Timoleague Abbey (2017).

Wet and breezy morning with rain persisting, some spot flooding on roads. Brighter for a time in the afternoon, then more showers through the evening.

Temperature up to 10deg in fresh southerly breezes, which will ease to light tonight.

On this day in 2011 a 9.0 magnitude earthquake occurred east of Japan, triggering a tsunami that killed thousands of people and caused the second-worst nuclear accident in history at Fukushima.
