Sting in the tail of rising temperature

ALTHOUGH Irish staycationers will be pleased with the warm forecasts for the summer, bathers beware, because there could be a sting in the tail for anyone entering the water.

According to experts, the rise in temperatures over the last few years has brought about an increase in jellyfish.

Beachgoers are warned to avoid any jellyfish, particularly in the water, where their thin, semi-transparent tentacles may stretch further than you think.
