The public is being asked to think ahead and ensure their safety amid the heatwave currently gripping Dublin.
A weather advisory for the entire county is in place for high temperatures with a yellow warning to kick in from tomorrow for Leinster and Munster. Health risks that face the public include heat exhaustion, heatstroke and cold-water shock while sun glare and using inflatables on the water also present risks.
Ways that the public can protect themselves include regularly and liberally apply sunscreen and staying out of direct sunlight. They can also wear light and loose-fitting clothing that covers their skin and make sure they drink enough water.
