Health fears prompt Met Eireann to upgrade weather warning as hottest day ever on the cards

Health fears have prompted Met Eireann to upgrade a high temperature warning as the searing heatwave could top the 145-year-old record of 33.3C.

A new Status Yellow alert was issued yesterday and comes into effect from 6am tomorrow – All Ireland hurling final day – until 9pm on Tuesday.

Scorching daytime temperatures of up to 30C are forecast for across the country today and tomorrow – with highs of 32C or 33C “possible” on Monday, according to Met Eireann.
