Good morning.

Good morning.

Yes, so we have issued a status yellow high temperature warning for today until 6pm tomorrow for counties Clare, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary, Galway, Kilkenny, Leish and Offaly.

And that's to reflect the high temperatures that we are seeing in the forecast for the next two days.

So we have maximum temperatures in excess of 27 degrees, combining that with nighttime minimum temperatures in excess of 15 degrees Celsius.

So quite warm.

Yeah, absolutely.

So today the highs are forecasted between 23 to 29, generally possibly getting up to 30 degrees in some places, particularly in Munster and South Leinster.

Slightly cooler, slightly cloudier as well this morning, but expected to brighten up.

So just seeing a little bit maybe in the 19 to 20 degree range for the north, but still quite mild for this time of year.

Well, yesterday we did have the provisional record being broke in Shannon Airport.

We had 28.6 degrees.

The previous record was back in 1997 in Kerry.

We had 28.4 degrees Celsius.

So quite a slight little increase, but it's still there.

So it could be a case we might see it break again today.

It's still to be seen.

But either way, it's going to be quite a warm or hot day for most people.

Oh, that's always the question that we're asked when this good weather comes around.

Really, for today and tomorrow, possibly Thursday as well, but unfortunately we are going to see that high pressure start to shift north-easterwards and we'll get a bit of a breakdown.
