Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Next, though, to the weather.
Chapter 2: What is the current weather situation in Ireland?
The country is under a status yellow high temperature warning, which runs until Friday. MetErin has forecast temperatures of between 25 and 31 degrees tomorrow, with the possibility of higher figures in parts of the Midlands and the West. For more on this, I'm joined by Matthew Martin, meteorologist with MetErin. Good morning, Matthew.
Good morning, David.
It felt a bit cooler this morning, but I think we'll see temperatures rise again through the day.
Yeah, we do have some cloud and mist in places this morning, but it's going to clear later today for most areas and that's going to allow some warm sunshine to develop. And we're expecting temperatures to peak around 28 degrees in a few areas for today.
Right. And tomorrow, I think, is going to be even hotter. Where is it going to feel the most?
Yeah, so we're forecasting some very high temperatures for tomorrow. That's kind of as we draw in that hot air that's in situ over the continent. So temperatures widely forecast
tomorrow getting into the high 20s and getting up to 32 degrees perhaps in parts of the west and potentially we could get a degree or two higher than that if the skies remain clear throughout the day and so that's something to keep an eye on there for tomorrow okay and is that i mean is our records going to be broken do you think
So the highest temperature recorded in Ireland is 33.3 degrees and that was recorded at Kilkenny Castle in June 1887. We did get close to that in 2022 when we had a temperature of 33 degrees at the Phoenix Park. And we certainly do have potential to go close to that record tomorrow. But as I was saying earlier, it all really depends on if we see some cloud building up during the day.

Chapter 3: How high are the expected temperatures in Ireland this week?
And that could put a cap on the peak of those temperatures. So certainly one to watch for tomorrow.
It is. And whether records are broken or not, it is important for people to stay safe in the heat. What's the advice?
yeah so as you heard on the news there there is a status you had a high temperature warning in operation so some very high temperatures and those will bring the risk of some heat stress with the very warm and humid air moving in over the country also that will lead to the potential for some uncomfortable sleeping conditions as well and the warm weather does bring the increased risk of water safety issues so i guess the key message
to your listeners is to enjoy the fine weather but remember to stay hydrated, protect yourself from the sun and of course take extra care when around the water.
One thing that Irish people are not good at is getting to sleep when it's very warm at night. What are temperatures going to be like over the evenings?
So we're expecting the potential for later tonight and particularly tomorrow night that we could experience some tropical nights. And that's when temperatures don't fall below 20 degrees overnight. So parts of the Midlands and south may experience a tropical night tonight and then more widely tomorrow night across parts of the east and south. So some very uncomfortable sleeping conditions likely.
Oh dear. However, this spell is not going to last, is it?
No, it looks like it's going to gradually break down. So there's a risk of some thunderstorms later tomorrow and on Friday. And then we'll be back to more typical Irish summer weather kind of for the weekend and into next week.
OK, we're going to get some rain as well, are we?
