Temperatures could reach a sweltering 30C today (but it’s back to normal by Wednesday)
There’s another uncomfortable night to go.
Cork is waking up to glorious sunshine this morning, as Met Éireann warns that the “exceptionally warm weather” will continue for another 24 hours at least with sizzling daytime temperatures of 25°C to 30°C.
Meteorologists say heat stress, high solar UV index, and a risk of water-related incidents are some of the issues to look out for over the coming days as the country struggles to cope with the searing July heat.
Mist and fog will clear most areas to leave a hot, dry and mostly sunny day ☀️
🌡️Highs of 26 to 32°C generally, cooler near coasts especially where sea fog persisting along some Atlantic coasts in mostly moderate southerly breezes.
