20th July 1950. (Thursday). Another fine day, but after strong, hot, SW. in morning, it changed to SE & chilly at 12.50, again formed inland & heavy rain passed out to sea over Skerries to the north. Left home about 11 o'clock & drove (George, Daisy & I) to Portrane. Left car at N end of the Burrows & spent day around the N end of the peninsula & salt-marsh. About 2.0 PM, SE wind suddenly fell & till 3.30 not a breath of wind; then SW breeze but very light, with a skiff of rain on SW came back.
Collected by sweeping in 3 areas:
1 = coastal strip from where left car to salt marsh - in shelter of sea bank. Wind very strong
2 = salt-marsh & strip of dunes outside this
3 = fallow fields & coastal strip - as at 1 but during calm spell & more in the fields than along strip.
