Issuing the warning Met Éireann forecasters said: “Maximum temperatures in excess of 27°C combined with overnight temperature minimums in excess of 15°C.”
The weather office also said some potential impacts over Sunday and Monday include water safety issues due to increased use of lakes and beaches, uncomfortable sleeping conditions, heat stress, and the possibility of forest fires.
Overall, forecasters shared: “Overview: The prolonged spell of very warm or hot weather will continue for much of next week. Nights will become very warm and humid too, with some tropical nights likely in parts. It’ll remain dry and sunny for most for much of the week, though with an increased chance of some showers or thunderstorms later in the week.”
