High Temperature Warning Issued for Several Counties
Met Éireann said temperatures could reach 30C and warned of tropical nights, high UV and possible thunderstorms as the warm spell continues.
- Met Éireann issued a Status Yellow high temperature warning for 12 counties on Friday, effective from 1pm until 7am Sunday, with temperatures forecast to reach up to 30 degrees.
- High pressure building from the Azores is driving the prolonged warm spell, which Met Éireann classifies as a heatwave when five consecutive days record temperatures of 25 degrees or higher.
- Forecaster Deirdre Lowe warned of high UV levels and potential "tropical nights," while nighttime temperatures will not drop below 15 degrees. Water Safety Ireland CEO Joanne Walsh urged beachgoers to be "responsible for themselves."
- Met Éireann warned the heat may cause water safety issues, uncomfortable sleeping conditions, and increased forest fire risks, with a general warm weather advisory remaining in effect until Tuesday.
- The hot spell will continue into next week with high pressure dominating until at least Thursday, though Lowe cautioned forecasters cannot rule out thunderstorms moving up from Biscay.
