The weather tomorrow in Ireland is set to warm up yet again, with some high temperature warnings coming into play.
Met Éireann meteorologist Deirdre Lowe said in an update on Thursday evening that it will become "very warm or hot over the coming days."
"As the fine weather is welcome for many, it also brings some hazards," Lowe said. These include high UV levels, water safety issues, heat stress, and uncomfortable sleeping conditions, as well as the risk of fires.
Looking ahead to Friday, Lowe said: "Any mist and fog will slowly clear tomorrow morning to leave another sunny day for most, however, some fog patches may linger in a few coastal areas.
"It will be very warm or hot tomorrow, with highest temperatures generally of 23°C or 28°C, a little fresher near onshore coasts and a light, southerly breeze.
"Very warm or hot on Saturday with plenty of sunshine turning hazy over the western half of the country.
"The hot spell will peak on Saturday with widespread values in the high 20s and possibly reaching 30°C in a few spots.
"The highest value is likely to be in inland parts of Leinster, the Midlands, and into parts of Connacht, too.
"It will remain dry and muggy on Saturday night, though clouds will gradually build in the west and southwest. An uncomfortable night for sleeping, with temperatures not falling below 14°C to 17°C or 18°C degrees and a light southeasterly breeze."
