Donegal will be feeling hot hot hot with weekend weather alert

Donegal will be hotter than Faro this Saturday as Met Éireann issues a weather warning for high temperatures.

Temperatures will soar to 27C in parts of the country this Saturday.

With festivals and events in full swing, it’s important to remember suncream and to stay hydrated.

The status yellow warning for the entire country comes into effect from midday on Saturday until 6am on Sunday.

Forecasters are warning of the risks of hot weather, including heat stress and uncomfortable sleeping conditions as the night will remain a balmy 15C.

There’s also a risk of forest fires due to dry conditions.

Those who choose to cool down at the beach or near lakes are urged to prepare in advance and heed all water safety advice.

The RNLI advice is as follows:

  • Visit a lifeguarded beach and swim between the red and yellow flags
  • Check the weather forecast, tide times and read local hazard signage to understand local risks
  • Keep a close eye on your family – on the beach and in the water – don’t allow your family to swim alone
  • If you fall into the water unexpectedly, Float to Live
  • In an emergency, dial 999 and ask for the Coast Guard.

Linda-Gene Byrne, RNLI Water Safety Lead, said: “We are expecting people to head to the coast during the hot weather, it is a great way to have fun, relax and cool off in high temperatures. If you do go to the coast, please choose a lifeguarded beach and swim between the flags. Remember where there are no flags, there are no lifeguards.

“If you find yourself in trouble, Float to Live. Knowing this technique and encouraging your family to practice it, could save your life. Whether you get into difficulty in the water at the coast or on any of our inland waters, Float to Live: Tilt your head back, with your ears submerged. Relax and try to breathe normally. Move your hands and legs to help you stay afloat if you need to. It’s fine if your legs sink – we all float differently. By doing this, you give yourself the chance to rest and recover your breathing. Once you’ve regained control of your breathing, you can call for help or swim to safety.”
