Weatherday: Pact prelude to war

Geese at Lullymore (2016).

Cloudy this morning, with some patchy light rain and drizzle. Becoming brighter later with some sunny spells and scattered showers. 

Temperature up to 16deg in light to moderate winds from the south, getting a little gusty in the afternoon.

On this day in 1939, dictators Adolf Hitler of Germany and Benito Mussolini of Italy signed their Pact of Steel, a full military and political alliance between their countries.
