Ireland weather: Warning issued to drivers as thunderstorms and heavy rain to cause 'hazardous' conditions

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) have warned that the thunderstorms that are being forecast to break up the heatwave in Ireland will cause "hazardous" conditions for drivers.

The second-highest temperature ever recorded in Ireland came on Monday afternoon, with a weather station in the Phoenix Park recording a monstrous 33.0C - just .3 of a degree off the hottest-ever day.

But things will take a twist on Tuesday (to the relief of many) as heavy rain showers are set to hit the country, breaking up the heatwave and cooling the whole island down for a while.
