A weather warning remains in effect for Leinster on Tuesday as parts of the country are set to experience extremely high temperatures once again.

Met Éireann has warned that daytime temperatures of 25 to 28 degrees are expected across the province.

The high temperature warning was issued on Sunday morning and is valid until 7pm on Tuesday evening.

Met Éireann has advised that the following impacts are possible:

  • Heat stress, especially for the more vulnerable of the population
  • High Solar UV index
  • Risk of water related incidents

However, in other parts of the country it will be cooler and fresher elsewhere with highs of 16 to 22 degrees.

There is also a chance of an isolated thundery burst in some parts of the country.

Meanwhile, Monday was one of the single hottest days in Ireland’s history, as Phoenix Park provisionally reached a stunning 33.0 degrees Celsius.

The sweltering conditions represent the joint second-highest recorded temperature in Irish history, the highest temperature of the 21st century so far in Ireland, and the hottest day of all time in Dublin.

The previous Dublin record was 31 degrees which was recorded in Casement Aerodrome in 2006.
