Deadly 'heat dome' to hit Ireland as Met Eireann drops bombshell
A deadly 'heat dome' currently baking much of Europe is set to reach Ireland over the coming days. The 40°C-plus temperatures claimed the life of a 34 year-old Dutch tourist in Mallorca earlier this week. The man died as a result of heatstroke, according to local media. Temperatures across Ireland will not be similar to those currently sizzling parts of Spain, Italy, France and Portugal, however, it will still be unseasonably warm. Irish based weather expert, Alan O'Reilly, the face behind Carlow Weather on X, described the heat in parts of Europe as "unusual". "Here comes the real heat for Portugal, Spain and France from the weekend into early next week," declared Alan. "Spanish Met Service has issued warnings for an unusual heatwave. The second half of the video shows France and some of England and Ireland. However Ireland won't see much of this hot weather but it will be a warm weekend and Monday here with a lot of cloud. If heading to the hotter spots take care." The so-called 'heat dome' is due to hot air trapped by high pressure taking hold in Europe. Temperature maps show that the hottest parts over the next three days are in the east of Ireland with temperatures set to reach as high as 26°C. Overview: Warm and humid at first next week with rain and drizzle at times. Brighter and fresher conditions will slowly become established through Tuesday and Wednesday. Sunday, will be a warm and humid day. Any patchy drizzle will generally clear in the morning and while it'll be mostly cloudy for a time, it'll become brighter through the afternoon, with good spells of sunshine developing in many areas, especially for the evening, with just the chance of a few isolated light showers, mainly in the north. It may remain a little misty however by the south coast. Highest temperatures of 19°C to 25°C, possibly 26°C, warmest in the east, with winds becoming mostly moderate south to southwesterly, fresher later in some western coastal parts. Sunday night: Becoming cloudy again overnight with outbreaks of rain and drizzle spreading from the west. Humid with temperatures falling no lower than 14°C to 17°Cin a light to moderate southerly breeze. Monday: A warm and humid day with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, most persistent and occasionally heavy in the west and north. Highest temperatures of 19°C to 23°C in moderate southerly winds. Monday night: Rain will clear eastwards early in the night, with clear spells and a few showers following behind. Lowest temperatures of 10°C to 14°C in light to moderate west to southwest winds. Tuesday: Brighter on Tuesday with sunny spells and scattered showers. Highest temperatures of 15°C in the northwest to 22°C in the southeast in light to moderate west to northwest winds. Wednesday: Feeling fresher with sunny spells and isolated showers. Highest temperatures of 15°C to 19°C in moderate northerly winds. Further outlook: A brighter, fresher end to the week with a mix of sunshine and showers Meanwhile, Met Eireann updated its extended range forecast on Friday June 27 and it included a weather bombshell. The weather is set to change across Ireland with the beginning of July bringing "unsettled conditions". Week 1 (Monday 30 June to Sunday 06 July) Week 1 shows a signal for a continuation of mixed and changeable conditions with a westerly airflow likely to continue to dominate the weather. Temperatures are indicated to be average for this time of year, with a signal of above average in parts of the east and southeast. Rainfall amounts are expected to be below average for most of the country, with the exception of Northern Ireland which is signalling average or slightly above average precipitation amounts. Week 2 (Monday 07 July to Sunday 13 July) Confidence is lower for week 2, which signals a return of low pressure bringing unsettled weather conditions. Temperatures are expected to be average across the country for early July with rainfall amounts expected to be average or slightly above in northern regions and along Atlantic coasts. Week 3 (Monday 14 July to Sunday 20 July) There is increasing uncertainty in the forecast going into week 3 with no defining signal for low or high pressure over Ireland. Temperatures are expected to be above average in parts of the south and east with average temperatures elsewhere. Signals are also indicating that rainfall amounts will be average for mid- July with below average rainfall amounts expected in the northeast and far southeast. Week 4 (Monday 21 July to Sunday 27 July) Forecast confidence is low for week 4, though there is a slight signal for high pressure to build over most of the country which would bring more settled weather. Temperatures are indicated to be slightly warmer than average with below average rainfall amounts across the country.

Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter. Cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes. Keep your living space cool. Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep.
