Dry conditions predicted for remainder of day
A bright yellow orb has appeared in the sky over Screggan!
Warm sunshine is now drenching the 700 acre National Ploughing site outside Tullamore and temperatures are rising.
A long hot day is on the cards.
The weather forecast predicts dry conditions today but rain is a possibility tomorrow, Thursday, September 17.
Cathal Nolan, otherwise known as Offaly Weatherman ,said there will be a little rain overnight into Thursday.
“But that’s not expected to cause any concern and just sunshine and showers again on Thursday. So, pretty good conditions at this year’s ploughing,” he said
