As the UK prepares for what might be its hottest day ever recorded, things are set to be slightly different in Ireland.
Despite our nearest neighbours being set for scorching temperatures of 39C, breezes from the Atlantic will keep Ireland at a cooler 25C tomorrow.
The UK Met Office has revealed a 60% chance that their record will be broken, with the highest temperature ever recorded being 38.5C in Faversham, Kent in 2003.
But 8,000 lightning strikes were reported throughout the UK on Tuesday night prior to the potential unprecedented heat.
Public Health England and the Met Office issued a level three heatwave warning for the UK yesterday.
Chief meteorologist Frank Saunders said: "There is a real possibility of records being broken this week, not only for July but also all-time records.
"The weather setup is broadly similar to the pattern that brought high temperatures to much of continental Europe at the end of June.
"The difference this time is that the wind flow will be more directly from France, paving the way for some exceptional, perhaps record-breaking temperatures."
Ireland will not share the extreme levels of heat with the UK, especially in the south and west where it will be cloudy in the morning with a mix of rain and drizzle.
However, it will brighten up come the afternoon with sunshine breaking through, leading to temperatures as high as 25C.
Southeasterly winds will be moderate to fresh, but strong along west and southwest coasts.
