Today could be the hottest May day ever recorded.
Provisional data from Met Éireann shows two stations recorded highs of 28.8 degrees Celsius.
If confirmed, that would beat the current May temperature record of 28. 4 degrees.
Alan O’Reilly from Carlow Weather outlines what parts of the country saw the hottest temperatures today:
“We have provisionally set a new May record high temperature today with 2 climatic stations of Met Éireann and report in 28.8 degrees so far as a high today.
“Beating the previous 28.4 degrees, so that was in Clommel and in Killarney.”
Meanwhile, a record high temperature was also recorded at Oak Park in County Carlow.
