Yes indeed the high temperature warning stays out today and indeed today it will be a contrast to yesterday.

Yesterday the highest temperatures were in the west of the country with 32.2 degrees recorded in our station in Athenrae and indeed six stations broke their all-time record and they were all in the west.

and northwest.

Today it's different.

Today parts of the west will see a 10 degree drop so parts of Galway and Mayo that had over 30 degrees yesterday will be down at 20 or 21 degrees today whereas today it will be the Midlands and east of the country that will get the highest temperatures and they will still be in the high 20s and probably touch 30 or 31 degrees in the Dublin region.

Yes, absolutely.

It'll still be very mild tonight.

So that's why the high temperature warning goes out to tomorrow morning.

So still quite a mild clammy night tonight with temperatures between about 16 and 18 or 19 degrees.

But then tomorrow, the cooler air will come in.

We will see some showers again tomorrow.

Again, the possibility of some thunderstorms in those showers during the day tomorrow and then cooler still on Sunday.

So if we look at the highest temperatures for tomorrow, we can expect them to be between about 17 degrees in the west, 22 degrees in the east.

and then dropping back further on Sunday, about 15 degrees in the west and about 20 degrees in the east, which is what we've had in the weeks prior to this week.
