Looking out to sea at Portaneevy viewing point. Waves coming in sets maybe from Greenland. Too much swell for easy sailing, but good for surfing.

A frosty divide! ❄️ Castlederg, Co. Tyrone, plunged to -6°C this morning, while it was a milder +6°C in north Down, 12 degrees warmer.

Castlederg’s hollow traps cold air, letting it settle and plummet temperatures. Nature’s icebox at work!
