28th Aug. 1946. Landenstown, Co. KD. (afternoon).
After a beautiful calm, night, with heavy dew, & a lovely morning, an East wind got up about 9.30 AM & a jam formed over Dublin with heavy rain between 11 AM & 1 P.M., though blue sky seen to N. & W. all the time. Nevertheless took afternoon off & drove in car to Landenstown arriving there at 3.15 & found no rain had fallen SW. of Rathcoole & very hot sun & gentle S. breeze at Landenstown on arrival; but this soon gave way to strong cold SE. wind & rain clouds, but no rain fell up till the time we left at 6.50 P.M.
