‘High temperatures make it harder for the body to cool itself and we all need to take care to manage the health risks of heat. If you are travelling to a country experiencing extreme heat, there are several steps you can take to keep yourself and others safe. We would advise people to plan ahead for the effects of heat on their trip, making sure they know how to recognise the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.’
Ireland’s weather this week
Looking to the weather on these shores for this month, forecaster Alan O’Reilly of Carlow Weather warned that the first 10 days of July will be rather grim — with an upper air temperature forecast meaning that temperatures will be below average for the first third of July.
Looking to this week, Met Éireann said that Tuesday will be mainly cloudy, with variable cloud amounts and clear spells but generally cloudier in the north and northwest with a few showers.
The best of any bright or sunny intervals will be over the southern half of the country, while more persistent rain will develop in the north and west in the evening. Highest temperatures will remain around 14C to 19C, coolest in the northwest.

It will be mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain and drizzle spreading eastwards on Tuesday night, with patchy mist and fog mainly on hills and coasts. Lowest temperatures of 10C to 12C.
Wednesday will begin damp and wet with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, clearing eastwards to a mix of sunny spells and showers in the afternoon. It will also become increasingly windy or blustery as the day continues, with highest temperatures of 14C to 20C, mildest in the east and south.
Thursday will be an unseasonably windy day, with sunny spells and scattered blustery showers. It will be marginally cooler than the rest of the week, with highs of 13C to 17C with moderate to fresh and gusty westerly winds.
Met Éireann have said that the overview for the week will be mixed and changeable, with spells of rain or showers interspaced with drier and brighter periods. It will also be windy particularly on Wednesday and Thursday, with temperatures generally below average for July, particularly in the northwest.
