Weekend temperatures to reach 29 degrees, but rain to return next week
Friday is set to be another day of glorious sunshine across Ireland with temperatures expected to hit 29 degrees. Met Éireann said after possible early-morning thunderstorms in the west, the island will bask in pleasant conditions, the coolest of which will be 20 to 23 degrees in Munster and south Leinster. Night-time temperatures are not expected to fall below 12 degrees on Friday, although isolated showers are possible in parts of Ulster and Leinster. It will be mild, with temperatures not falling below 12 to 17 degrees. Met Éireann meterologist Holly O'Neill said: 'it is set to be a very warm and hot day today with long spells of sunshine across the country.' READ MORE She said the authority's ultra violet index (UV), which predicts danger of damage to skin from sunburn, is high and warned of the need for people to protect themselves by being 'sun smart'. Scattered showers are expected on Saturday, with some heavy and possibly thundery at times, but highest temperatures are expected to be up to 25 degrees. It is forecast to be warmest across the eastern half of the island, all in a light to moderate southwest wind. The hot spell may break in some areas on Saturday night as unsettled weather moves in from the Atlantic but many places will still enjoy long spells of sunshine. A heavier and more persistent band of rain will move in from the west later on Saturday night but temperatures should not fall below 12 to 15 degrees, in a mainly light to moderate southwest breeze. A bright start is expected to Sunday morning but outbreaks of showery rain will move in from the west with sunny spells and scattered showers to follow. It is expected to be fresher and breezier with highest temperatures of 15 to 20 degrees, warmest in the east, all with rather brisk westerly winds. The outlook for Monday, however, is for further change. There will be a bright start to the day with isolated showers, followed by outbreaks of rain later on. Highest temperatures are expected to be in the 13 to 18 range, feeling cooler in the north. By Tuesday the sunny conditions will be over, with cloudy conditions, rain and drizzle almost everywhere. A few brighter spells may break through in the north and west at times. Highest temperatures of 15 to 19 degrees, in mainly moderate to fresh west to southwest winds, are expected.

Father's Day weekend weather predicted to be hot, dry for South Florida
The NEXT Weather Team is tracking a hot and mostly dry Father's Day Weekend for South Florida as afternoon highs linger in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Despite this being near-average, it will still feel like summer with "feels like" temperatures in the mid to upper 90s. While isolated showers will be possible throughout the morning and early afternoon, chances are only at 20% and most will remain dry. This trend continues for Father's Day as highs peak around 90 degrees. If you're looking to beat the heat by heading out to the coast, there is a moderate rip current risk at the beach and no alerts out on the water. Don't forget the sunscreen as the UV Index is "extreme" today and will most likely remain that way for at least the next several days. Looking ahead to next week, our weather pattern remains consistent with highs around 90 and no significant rain chances over the next 7 days.

Decreasing clouds, humidity dropping during the day
We'll have clouds and sun this afternoon with breezy conditions, and temperatures will reach the mid to upper 70s. A few isolated showers are possible, mainly south and east of Pittsburgh this afternoon through the evening. Comfortable conditions will settle in, with a clearing sky tonight and into early Wednesday morning, and lows dropping to the 50s. This clearing will give you a chance to catch a glimpse of the last full moon of spring, the full 'Strawberry Moon,' which reaches its peak Wednesday morning at 3:45 a.m. We'll have a pleasant start to Wednesday with plenty of sunshine and temperatures jumping to the low 80s. Wildfire smoke from Canada will begin to mix in a little more later Wednesday afternoon and evening and continue into Thursday. Make sure to check back for the latest on this throughout the week. This dry stretch will also continue through much of Friday, with the chance of a few showers or storms returning later Friday and into the weekend. Make sure you check the latest forecast on Channel 11 News. If you are heading to the U.S. Open at Oakmont, be sure to grab the sunscreen and a hat, as the UV Index is expected to climb into the high range with the threat of sunburn in as little as 20 minutes.

Environment and Climate Change Canada presents summer seasonal outlook Français
GATINEAU, QC, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, Environment and Climate Change Canada presented a seasonal outlook for summer. Experts predicted higher-than-normal temperatures are likely throughout most of Canada this summer, with cooler-than-normal conditions possible in some northwestern regions along the Beaufort Sea. This spring, parts of Canada saw an uneven transition out of winter, with many regions experiencing temperature swings. Additionally, much of Canada, particularly in the Prairies, experienced dry conditions. These conditions, in combination with the high likelihood of a warmer-than-normal summer, could increase the risk of wildfires in the coming months—potentially leading to poor air quality and health risks for you and your family. Understanding the risks of these extreme weather events can help Canadians make informed decisions to protect their health, safety, and property. Canada's Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is an important tool to help people understand what the air quality around them means for their health. Climate change is causing more frequent and intense severe weather across the country. Environment and Climate Change Canada's weather information and alerts are essential tools in protecting Canadians. The public is urged to regularly monitor weather forecasts, monitor the AQHI and UV Index, take all weather alerts seriously, and get prepared this summer. Canadians can download the WeatherCAN app to receive weather alerts directly on their mobile devices and set personal notifications for temperature and the AQHI. Quick facts Climate change is causing extreme hot temperatures at a greater frequency than in the past, increasing the severity of heat waves and contributing to the risk of drought and wildfires. Environment and Climate Change Canada's scientists can now analyze extreme hot and extreme cold temperature events and determine to what degree climate change played a role in their severity. They will begin analyzing extreme precipitation events later in 2025. Climate change also brings more intense rainfalls. This is expected to increase urban flood risks, and coastal flooding in many areas of Canada will become more frequent due to local sea-level rise. Environment and Climate Change Canada is the country's official source for weather information and severe weather warnings and is committed to providing Canadians with accurate and timely weather information, including severe weather alerts.
