Met \u00c9ireann has said that the all-time high temperature record for Ireland could be broken today.<\/p>\n
The highest air temperature recorded is 33.3C dating back to 26 June 1887 at Kilkenny Castle.<\/p>\n
That record may come under threat today with temperatures of 33C forecast this afternoon in parts of Mayo and Roscommon.<\/p>\n
A Status Yellow high temperature warning has been in place since earlier this week and will remain in effect until 9am tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n
Met \u00c9ireann said Ireland will experience intense heat and humidity and people should brace themselves for another possible “tropical night” ahead<\/p>\n

The forecaster said the warning includes water safety issues due to increased use of lakes and beaches, uncomfortable sleeping conditions, heat stress and possible forest fires.<\/p>\n
Meteorologist Mark Bowe said today will be “the hottest day of the week”.<\/p>\n
“All that warm air will have fully arrived from Europe and temperatures are expected to be widespread over 25C – reaching around 30C or possibly 31C in parts of the midlands and Connacht.”<\/p>\n
Mr Bowe said this also carried the risk of some thunderstorms, with the north west possibly experiencing heavy showers tomorrow afternoon.<\/p>\n
He said temperatures would take a “bit of a slide” tomorrow, with a “few more showers moving in”.<\/p>\n
The warm weather in Ireland comes as parts of Europe continue to experience record high temperatures.<\/p>\n
Smashing previous records, the UK logged its highest temperature for June, reaching 36.1C in southern England, as a heat dome hovered over much of Western Europe.<\/p>\n
France recorded its hottest day since records began nearly 80 years ago, when temperatures peaked at 44.3C in the southwestern town of Pissos on Monday.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, Paris hit 40.9C, a June record for the capital.<\/p>\n
