    Cloudy in Cork City but dry. About 13 degrees but feels colder in the breeze.

    Last night had to have the stove on, and it was also the first night we have had to turn on the electric blankets in bed! Such a difference to three months ago where I had to sleep outside the covers with the windows open :)

    The wind is deadly out there! Very strong gusts. Weather to be lovely on Wednesday at the moment. Rain for Thursday and Friday. A new storm could be brewing or is that Leslie on its ways as seen out near Atlantic. Dry all day here at least.

    One of those autumn paradoxes - yesterday was very cold but a lot more lovely of a day than the mild day today.

    The wind in Dublin is making it feel a lot less mild than it was supposed to be, and the completely overcast nature makes it drearier.

    That does not surprise me. I checked the evening RTE forecast just now and they understated?

    It was brief, just about 20 minutes of strong gusts, settled down again to normality after that.
