Boiling roads and sun glare warnings issued ahead of Ireland's heatwave

The Road Safety Authority are asking road users to exercise caution while using the roads this weekend and into next week during the heatwave.

Ireland will experience a hot spell over the weekend and into early next week. Day time temperatures will widely reach the high twenties, possibly exceeding 30 degrees in some locations.

Road surface temperatures will rise significantly in the hot weather, and road users are advised to slow down and exercise caution when braking in such situations. Surface dressed roads will be prone to softening of the bitumen, leading to bitumen slicks occurring on more minor roads - which could cause an accident.
