Ireland is projected to experience its hottest day of 2023 this weekend, with temperatures potentially hitting 30C in some areas. A mini-heatwave will result in uncomfortable overnight temperatures around 18C, prompting large crowds to flock to coastal areas. While the expected high of 29.5C could break previous records for the year, it will not top the July record of 33C set in 2022. Authorities caution excessive congestion and limited parking at popular destinations. Lifeguards emphasize swimming safety measures as they anticipate a busy weekend.
Always ensure that you swim – between our flags, our red and yellow flags. That's our patrol zone, and that's where we'll be able to keep an eye on you. Swimming in a big group is always good because you'll have a lot of people to look out for you.
Water Safety Ireland urged those heading for the beach to make safety a top priority this weekend. Lifeguards said they were gearing up for one of their busiest weekends of the year.
