Met Éireann warned: "Thursday to high Friday and Saturday will be very warm or hotter, with maximums generally 27-29C". It added that overnight temperatures will be above 15C and outside Leinster and Munster overnight temperatures will not fall below 10-15C."August's record breaking temperature is 31.5C. That level may not be reached, but possible," he added. "Temperatures will be in the high 20s everywhere in Ireland. It's also worth noting that Sunday will also be a hot day, but probably not as widespread. Warnings for Sunday may be updated as the next couple of days pass," he added. .
Today is expected to be a warm and sunny day, with highs generally 25C to 30C, possibly reaching the low 30s in some inland places in Leinster or Munster. It won't be warm near the coast as there will be sea breezes in the afternoon.
UV levels are "high" over much of the country due to widespread sunshine, the Met Office said.
Because UV levels are high or very intense today, please be careful to use a bottle of sunscreen lotion and sunglasses.
For example, the UVI for Ireland is highest (7.5) between 11am and 4pm in June/July when the sky is cloudless everywhere in Ireland. UVI is moderate (3 to 4) in overcast conditions everywhere.
