Amber weather warning issued for North of Ireland

AN amber warning for heat has been issued for the North of Ireland from Wednesday until the end of Friday.

Northern Ireland could get close to surpassing its hottest day ever – which was set only last weekend.

The Met Office has issued the extreme heat warning, with Met Éireann warnings also in place in the Republic of Ireland.

The Met Office warning comes with an appeal to watch out for heat exhaustion and sunburn.

Temperatures are expected to rise to highs of 29C on Wednesday and into Thursday.

High overnight temperatures are also expected before a dip on Friday.

Last Saturday, Northern Ireland hit record-breaking heights as thermometers soared above 30C.

It was the hottest day on record with Ballywatticock, near Newtownards in County Down, recording a provisional temperature of 31.2C.

High temperatures can be a risk to health, especially for those who are particularly vulnerable.

It can cause sunburn or heat exhaustion (dehydration, nausea, fatigue) and other heat-related illnesses.

Heat exhaustion and heatstroke

Heat can affect anyone, but some people are at greater risk of serious harm from the effects of extreme heat. It’s important to keep checking on those who are most vulnerable, such as older people and those with health conditions.

You can take steps to protect yourself and others from the effects of very hot weather:

protect yourself from the sun

stay cool

drink plenty of fluids
