Weatherday: Welcome, Madiba

Huntington Castle, Co Carlow (2019).

A cloudy but dry start with some sunny spells will give way to outbreaks of rain coming from the south in the early afternoon. Some bursts will be heavy, but the rain will clear. 

Highest temperature 10deg in fresh winds from the southeast, moderating later. 

On this day in 2000, Nelson Mandela arrived in Dublin where people came out in great numbers to welcome him. He received an honorary degree at Trinity College Dublin, the first African leader to do so.
