Yes, Clare, unusually high temperatures for this time of the year, especially.

But generally, we don't see high 20s heading for 30 degrees too often in Ireland.

So there is an unusual kind of, I suppose, feel to it out there.

Most people will be enjoying it, but those that are vulnerable and elderly that might need extra help staying cool and obviously pets need access to water, etc.

It is only a few days, but it can cause some issues.

We're going to get close to it.

You know, there's a weather station in Durrow in County Leash that's already up to 28 degrees by 11 a.m.

So that's unusually hot.

Yes, it can depend on that variable breeze.

So, you know, yesterday, Clonmel and Killarney actually saw the highest temperatures at climatic weather stations that met air and have of 28.8 degrees.

Now, it'll take a while for them to verify that as a possible record, but Shannon did get to 28.6 degrees.

So the record was beaten yesterday, but it is likely to be beaten further today where I'd say 29 degrees is likely at least, but there is a chance that we could see 30 degrees.

It's similar tomorrow.

We will see a lot of blue skies tomorrow.

We will see temperatures still in the high 20s.

Now the wind will go a little bit more to the east.

So on the east coast it will feel that little bit cooler and the west actually will see the highest temperatures of this spell tomorrow because

Believe it or not, while it's 28 degrees in Doro and Leash, it's only 10 degrees at Mallinhead.

So it is a lot cooler on the north coast and the west coast is about 16 degrees today.

But it will be a lot warmer there tomorrow.
