Hotter than the Sahara

BREAK out the sun cream. It’s going to be another scorcher today with temperatures likely to be the best in Munster, Leinster and the Midlands, where they will reach highs of 22C.

Temperatures in parts of the country reached nearly 25C yesterday, which was two degrees hotter than in Laghouat in the Algerian Sahara.

Any fog or mist will clear quickly this morning, with inland Munster getting the hottest weather, although temperatures will only hit 17C on the province’s coast.
