Yikes.

Sure, at least it’s not raining, right?

This morning we informed you that Met Éireann is predicting that temperatures will reach up to 28 degrees today.

The weather forecaster said:

“Today will be a very warm day and the Solar UV index is very high, so do take care in the sunshine. It will be another dry and sunny day with the risk of isolated heavy or possibly thundery showers in the southwest.”

Very stunning, right?

Well, a yellow weather warning has subsequently been issued for six counties along the West Coast of the country.

The warning reads:

“Status Yellow – High-Temperature warning for Galway, Mayo, Clare, Cork, Kerry and Limerick.”

“Temperatures will be in excess of 27.0 degrees Celsius, during Thursday afternoon.”

That’s very, very hot lads.

“Valid: Thursday 27 June 2019 13:00 to Thursday 27 June 2019 19:00.”

As for tomorrow?

Met Eireann says that tomorrow, Friday will continue very warm with good sunny spells.

It will be mostly dry in the east, however, there will be some showers in the west and they could turn heavy and possibly thundery later in the day.

Highest temperatures 21 to 27 degrees, but a few degrees lower along south and southeast coasts in onshore moderate southeasterly breezes.

Hello summer, my old friend.
