Dublin firefighters have been tasked with taming a bush blaze in a Dublin park this afternoon as the summer heatwave thrives on.
As temperatures reach high twenties for some, the Department of Agriculture has issued a Status Orange due to the potential for forest fires, which will remain in place until Wednesday.
The bout of stunning heat is expected to come to an abrupt end on Tuesday night when thunderstorms and heavy rain showers are forecasted to move in.
