Oh yeah!
The good weather shows on signs of stopping – well duh, we are in the middle of a heatwave and a status yellow warning – but it appears that Thursday could be the hottest day of the year as the temperature exceeds the 30 degree mark in some places.
In fact, we’re closing in on Ireland’s record temperature which was 33.3C temperature in 1887.
With ‘no change foreseeable for the next few days’ it seems that this great weather will be with us a for a few more days with the mercury expected to rise to 32 degrees in some places today.
Here’s what Met Eireann are predicting: “Today will be hot and sunny. The highest temperatures will be inland where it will be over 30 degrees in places, temperatures generally around the country will range between 25 and 28 degrees. There will be light easterly winds, later on becoming moderate in strength, accordingly temperatures will be slightly lower on east and south coasts. Sea breezes will develop along western coasts during the afternoon, these will ease in the evening.
With regards to tonight’s forecast, it’s expected to be dry and clear with temperatures of 13 to 15 degrees.
