Met Éireann advises a UV index of 3 or above calls for additional protection due to the potential for skin damage. Seeking shade during midday hours and using SFF are both strongly encouraged Plan your day to limit time in the sun when UV is strongest, typically between 11am and 3pm. High night-time temperatures in summer can be more impactful than high daytime temperatures, especially on the vulnerable, the forecaster warns. Saturday will see a continuation of the warm sunshine with a scattering of showers, some heavy and possibly thundery. Temperatures are expected to reach up to 25 degrees and it will be warmest across the eastern half of the country, with light to moderate southwesterly winds. Sunday looks fresher and breezier with highest temperatures of 15 to 20 degrees, according to Met Éireann. There will be some showery rain alongside the sunny spells, with brisk westerly winds. Looking ahead into the start of next week, similar conditions are likely to prevail with fresh westerly winds steering in a scattering of passing showers and sunshine at times in between.

Wednesday is the fourth day of June, and it is finally starting to feel like it. Environment Canada is forecasting a humidex above 30 degrees on Wednesday and hazy skies due to smoke from the northwestern wildfires. According to the weather agency, Barrie's temperatures will reach a high of 28 degrees with a humidex of 33 and a 'very high' UV index of eight. Their 'normal' June 4 high for the city is 22 degrees. Environmental Canada is also forecasting an air quality risk of five out of ten for Barrie, which they consider to be a 'moderate' risk.
