Weatherday: Strong pockets

Ballyteigue Burrow Beach, Kilmore Quay (2022).

A cloudy and blustery start will bring rain this morning, some of it heavy. Though brightening in the afternoon, thundery showers are likely, with some hail and local flooding.

Temperature up to 16deg in fresh southerly winds, moderating from the west later.

A clearance in the evening and a settled night. 

On this day in 1873, a patent granted to Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis for strengthening trouser pocket corners with copper rivets became the basis for the introduction of the blue jeans work apparel.
