Ireland weather charts turn blue as expert delivers 'heat dome' verdict
New weather maps are indicating a huge shift in the weather across Ireland in the coming days. Weather experts at published a new set of maps on Sunday suggesting a significant shift in temperatures on Tuesday. The new charts turn blue over Ireland on Tuesday morning, signalling a significant temperature drop. The temperatures across the country on Tuesday will, according to Met Eireann, "feel cooler". The drop in temperatures are in stark contrast to what people have been enduring all over the country in recent days. In parts of the east on Sunday, the mercury reached as high as 26°C. The temperature in some parts of the country on Tuesday morning is set to be as low as 8°C, according to A so-called 'heat dome' emanating from northern Africa and southern Europe has been responsible for the warmer temperatures across Ireland over the last few days. Ireland avoided the deadly 40°C plus temperatures currently sizzling France, Spain and Greece but the temperatures were nonetheless higher than average in some parts of the country. The 'heat dome' effect is set to be short-lived with one Irish weather expert predicting when conditions will start to feel cooler. Alan O'Reilly, who oversees Carlow Weather on social media, told his followers on X on Sunday that there was good news just around the corner for anyone "tired of the warm weather". "If you are getting tired of the warm humid or heavy weather you will be glad to know fresher air is on the way from Tuesday," said Alan. "The latest upper air temperature forecast here shows the edge of the plume of hot air over Europe moving away from Ireland. It will also ease off in France later in the coming week and ease a little in Portugal and Spain later in the week," he added. Overview: Becoming fresher and brighter through much of this week with spells of sunshine, though there will be a few showers in the night: Monday night will see patchy light rain and drizzle gradually move eastwards, though it will linger in the east and southeast, with clear spells elsewhere. Lowest temperatures of 8 to 13 degrees, with a light northwesterly or variable Tuesday will be a pleasant and sunny day for many, though some cloud will bubble up at times. More widespread cloud with patchy rain and drizzle will continue to linger in the east and southeast throughout the day. Feeling cooler and fresher with highest temperatures of 16 to 20 degrees, in a mostly light north to northwest or variable breeze, increasing moderate along eastern night: On Tuesday night, any lingering cloud will clear from the southeast to leave a mostly dry and clear night. Lowest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees with a light northwesterly or variable Wednesday will be a bright and sunny day for most, though scattered showers will develop in the afternoon, turning heavy at times in the north. Highest temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees with a mostly light west to northwest Thursday is likely to be another largely bright day with spells of sunshine, and the chance of scattered showers developing, mainly in the north and west. Highest temperatures of 15 to 19 degrees with a light to moderate westerly outlook: Current indications suggest a return to an Atlantic airflow by the weekend with spells of rain likely.

Irish tourists warned of extreme 44C heat in Spain, Portugal, and France as Europe faces heatwave
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Irish holidaymakers are being warned as an extreme heatwave hits Europe - just as many are preparing for their summer getaways. Despite a rainy and breezy forecast at home in Ireland, popular tourist destinations are set to sizzle with temperatures possibly soaring to 44C due to high pressure dominating much of Europe. And Carlow Weather's Alan O'Reilly has sounded the alarm for Irish tourists visiting three hotspots. He said: "Heading for Spain, Portugal or France this weekend? Prepare for some hot weather, could hit up to 44c in parts of Portugal and Spain and up to 40c in parts of France. Yes I know it's summer and yes these countries do get hot but this is a little early to see these temps and us Irish aren't built for that heat." With Northern Europe caught in an unseasonably early heatwave, experts forecast temperatures will climb even further in the weeks ahead. The French national meteorological service, Meteo France, has issued warnings that such intense heat poses a threat to all, including those in good health. Southern Europe is facing a more dire scenario, with the Greek island of Chios currently in the throes of a fierce wildfire. Residents have been evacuated as the parched island ignited over the weekend. Portugal has already recorded a scorching 40.5C this year, while certain areas in Spain have experienced peaks of over 42C. Wageningen University's environmental systems analysis professor, Bas Amelung, predicts future summer temperatures in favoured holiday spots like Spain, France, Italy, Greece, and Turkey could rise to uncomfortable levels. "Countries such as Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Turkey that currently attract the traditional 'sun and sand' summer tourists are likely to become too hot for comfort in the summer," he warns. "So if a large majority of holidaymakers thinks some European destinations will soon be 'too hot', they may well start adapting, either by going somewhere else in summer or by going to the same place in another season."
