IRELAND is gearing up for one of the hottest days on record today as temperatures look set to hit a sizzling 29C.
And weather chiefs confirmed a “very warm and hot day” is on the cards today with long spells of sunshine.
But some isolated showers may develop as the day goes on, possibly becoming heavy at times.
Met Eireann’s Meteorologist Holly O’Neill said: “It is looking to be a lovely day with highs of 24C to 29C, the warmest of those being in the northern half of the country.
“And it will feel slightly milder in the south where highest temperatures will be 20 to 23C in a mainly light south to southeast breeze.
“Tonight we’ll stay mainly dry, with some lingering showers possible over parts of Ulster and Leinster.
“It will be mild, but temperatures not falling below 12C to 17C in the light or variable southerly breeze.”
Saturday will be warm with good sunny spells for most of the country and slightly cloudier conditions in the west.
But scattered showers will move in across the country, some heavy and possibly thundery at times.
And a heavier band of rain will move in off the Atlantic later Saturday night, bringing longer spells of rain.
It will be a mainly dry and clear night for most of the country with lingering showers over parts of the southwest and northeast on Saturday night.
Lows of 12C to 15C in a mainly light to moderate southwest breeze.
Sunday is set to be a bright start to the morning, but outbreaks of showery rain will move in from the west in the morning with sunny spells and scattered showers to follow.
Fresher and breezier than recent days with highest temperatures of 15C to 20C, warmest in the east, all with rather brisk westerly winds.
Isolated showers are expected to hit along southern and western coasts on Sunday night.
Lows of 9C to 12C in mainly moderate westerly winds.
Weather bosses added: “Any remaining rain and drizzle will move away early Sunday, leaving brighter spells to start off the morning.
“Showers will develop throughout the day but there will still be good spells of sunshine around.
“It will feel noticeably fresh and breezier than recent days with highest temperatures of 15Cto 20C.”
Met Eireann chiefs added: “As the UV index is high to very high over the next couple of days, it will be important to be sun smart and as always.
“If you are planning to be out in the water over the weekend, always think about water safety and plan ahead.”
Monday will have a bright start with isolated showers with highs of 13C to 18C.
FESTIVAL and camping season is here and with that, so is the frantic rush to find items that make it that little bit easier.
Whether crawling around in a cramped festival tent or away with the family in a holiday park, as much as we may love camping there are some things about it that can be a nightmare.
Here are The Sun’s travel team’s top recs for camping this summer.
With a limited amount of storage space in caravans and tents, making sure your kitchen equipment is as space-saving as possible is an essential.
Look for collapsible items to stack and save space.
This Outwell kettle, £39.99, is also collapsible to just 4.5cm despite holding 1.5litres when expanded.
Ikea does a great collapsible washing up bowl for just £5.
The Pepprig bowl collapses flat and features a hole to hang from pegs.
And when it comes to cooking up a storm, a stacking nest of pans is essential.

The BeGrit Camping Pans is a four-piece stackable stainless steel set that includes a frying pan, two pots, plate and spoon in a storage bag.
From £17.99 on Amazon or for a more sophisticated set that covers all bases for a family, Decathlon sell the Quechua Stainless Steel Non-Stick Camping Cookset for £49.99.
With a whopping 25 items suitable for a family of four you get a big pot and frying pan and within is stored a sieve drainer, plates, cups and cutlery.

You don’t want to waste weight – or risk breakages – by using standard crockery in a caravan.
Invest in some melamine plates, cups and bowls but for me, I want to make things easy when it comes to washing up.
A nice big pack of disposable, biodegradable and compostable plates costs around £7 for 50 from Amazon and are perfect for most meals and avoid the need to use lots of water or make several trips to the block to wash up.
Lisa Minot, Head of Travel
For £27.50 from Argos, ReadyBed is an air mattress and sleeping bag rolled into one, which saves on space and weight when you’re packing – pivotal when you’ve got kids or you’re lugging heaps of gear across a festival site.
What I personally love is that there’s no risk of rolling off the airbed as you’re fully zipped in.
It’s got a built-in pillow and the sleeping bag element/cover can be removed and chucked in the washing machine.

This bit of kit is my most cherished camping item.
It’s a foldable mirror made up of four glass squares that unravel into a full-length travel mirror.
Costing £45, it comes with a tie at the top so that it can be looped around a tent pole.
The best feature is how compact it is, folding into a flat square – just be wary as a lot of festivals don’t allow glass.

You can probably find cheaper camping chairs out there, but this £24.99 chair is great for packing light (it weighs just 1.5kg) and if you’re tight for space.
Unlike some traditional camping chairs, you’ll have to construct it, a bit like a tent, but that takes about 30 seconds.
The steel frame of the chair relies on a tent-pole like structure which means it’s easily collapsible and can be shoved in a teeny bag along with the canvas-material chair.

Water carriers are so cheap but so useful, especially at a festival where the toilet facilities may not be anything more than a hole in the ground.
This one for £7.99, folds into practically nothing and comes with a nifty tap feature that will give you running water at the twist of a nozzle.
Fill it up every day from the campsites water station and use it to wash your hands, brush your teeth, drink from etc.
Sophie Swietochowski, Assistant Travel Editor
As much as I enjoy a festival or two, I do need my beauty sleep otherwise I can be pretty unpleasant to be around.
So when it comes to going to bed, I won’t go without my Loop earplugs.
These handy little gadgets block out almost everything, muffling all background noise and thumping bass.
They might be the most I’ve ever spent on earplugs, but they’re well worth it.
Loop earplugs cost from £19.95.

We all know that as the days go on at festivals, one thing that gets worse (aside from the hangover) is people’s hygiene – and I don’t like to be one of those people.
So what I bring is FreshWipes, the OceanFresh scent does the trick and is biodegradable too.
FreshWipes cost £5.99 per pack.

With the hot and sticky weather we have been experiencing lately, being able to cool down is not the easiest unless you drench yourself in water.
Whilst chugging water can help to keep you hydrated, sometime it just feels like your skin is about to burn off.
This is where a face and body cooling spray comes in.
For years I have sworn by Superdrug’s own brand ‘Face & Body Cooling Spray 200ml’ costing just £5.
And this bottle will last you the whole summer.
I use it over makeup on my face for a cooldown spritz and down my arms too – it really helps to take the edge off of the heat.
I also recently discovered their Vitamin E Mist, which comes in a small 50ml bottle for £2.50.
If struggling on space, definitely grab one of these and it is even in Superdrug‘s ‘3 for 2’ offer, so you can pick up some other travel minis too.

Now this one may be weird to people – essentially a bottle for sun cream, despite sun cream already coming in a bottle.
But if you are like me, the price of sun cream irks you each year the season gets warmer and sunnier.
And if you are anything like me, the bog standard sunscreen is no good.
With oily skin, a hate for tackiness and a dislike for the smell, I make sure the sunscreen I get suits me.
And to cut costs, I will often purchase the biggest bottle available.
However, with this, it is hard to carry around the sun cream.
This is where the Solar Buddies Applicator comes in.
The small and compact applicator can be filled with any sunscreen of your choosing and costs just £6.38 from Boots.
Despite the product specifically being designed for use by children, it is suitable for anyone who wants to carry a smaller bottle of sunscreen around with them without the risk of the bottle lid pinging off in your bag.
It is also 100ml so suitable for hand luggage!

Whilst this little product is rather steep in price for £8, I don’t go away without it.
As an ‘everywhere spray’, Luna Daily is perfect for festival camping when you feeling grabby after using a questionably-clean portaloo or after crawling around in and out of your tent.
The spray-to-wipe product can be used anywhere – including ‘down there’ – helping you to feel a bit cleaner whilst in a not-so-clean environment.
It is completely fragrance free and includes thermal water, prebiotic lactic acid and inulin and Vitamins C, E and F to protect your skin – essentially no nasties.
One bottle is the equivalent of 100 wipes and it can be kept in the fridge for added cooling effects.

As an avid hiker and camper during my teenage years, you would not find me without a lip balk attached to a belt loop on my hip.
Just a basic SPF 30 lip balm with moisturising coconut in helped against the harsh elements of sun and wind whilst adventuring.
The carabineer attached just adds convenience as you can attach it yourself as I did, the zip or side of a bag or even keys or a water bottle.
They can be picked up at most outdoors shops like Trespass or Go Outdoors for a couple of quid.

There are so many different camping lamps out there – from wind-up ones to battery operated.
And they also can widely range in price.
Ikea has just released a lamp which I cannot wait to get my hands on.
The small table lamp which is battery-operated and donut-shaped looks stylish whilst also being practical.
It has a rope loop on it to hand in your tent, but also due to its flat bottom it can sit on a table easily – meaning you can move it between your campsite dinner setup to the roof of your tent, giving you light wherever you go.
If wanting something smaller, the classic lightbulb shaped lamps on caribineers are also great and can be picked up for under a fiver.

Whilst not the cheapest at £9.99 each from Decathlon, soft running bottles are great space savers.
They can be rolled up to the size of a fist and are easy to shove in the remaining room in a pack camping back.
For festivals, they are even better – as often to get into the main arena, your water bottle needs to be empty – and these can just fit in your pocket to be filled once in the area.
Even when full, they can still slide into a pocket, which means you won’t be carrying around a clunky bottle.

BROOKS KOEPKA’S wife Jena Sims stunned as she went braless in a see-through outfit.

Jena, 36, appeared to show off her outfit to the camera before being gatecrashed by her husband.
Koepka burst into shot and hopped around dancing, with Jena initially joining in before deciding it was not worth it.
Instead she put out her hands to show off Koepka, and laughed at his bizarre dance moves.
Jena still captured fans’ attention however thanks to her eye-catching look.
She wore a see-through top with no bra, showing off her torso and her legs to send fans wild.
One X user said: “Beauty.”
Another commented: “How hot is his wife, daaaamn!!!”
A third wrote: “She’s hot.”
And another added: “Wait Brooks is in this video?”
Jena has built up a large fan base over the years thanks to her racy content.
She recently attended the Sports Illustrated Race Weekend Miami Party and was joined by singer Ciara.
LUKE LITTLER took the next step new girlfriend Faith as the dart star posted a heartwarming family snap while on holiday.
The teen sensation jetted off for a sunny break in Spain just days after his disastrous performance at the World Cup of Darts.
Littler and fellow top slinger Luke Humphries crashed out in the last-16 after a shock defeat to Germany.
The exit came as the pair were both handed MBEs in the King’s Birthday honours.
But Littler showed no signs of disappointment as he jetted off to Spain for a family break.
And he took things to the next level with new girlfriend Faith as she joined the Littler clan for some fun in the sun.
Posting a picture of his family together, Littler stood proudly alongside Faith in the back row.
And he also took time to wish his mum Lisa a happy birthday, declaring: “Happy Birthday mum.”
Littler also cooled off from the heat as he took a dip in a swimming pool with dad Anthony and a pal.
Littler’s father said: “Just here now with Scott Bazza Grady at the secret location.”

Littler and girlfriend Faith were first pictured together in March.
The 19-year-old is a beautician who met Littler in February.
Littler previously dated Eloise Milburn, who cheered him on at his World Darts Championship debut in 2023.
But the pair split after just 10 months in July 2024 after struggling to make time for each other.

DRIVERS have been warned to make a vital car check as temperatures across the UK soar.
The easy check can save you thousands and makes sure that your car won’t overheat in the scorching sunshine.
If your coolant levels are too low, then your car could quickly overheat.
Vehicles don’t actually use more coolant when the weather is hot, but overheat much more easily when the coolant is low.
When refilling your coolant, your engine must be off – for your own safety.
Then, fill the tank up to the “full” or “max” mark.
If your car overheats, the cost to repair it can be astronomical so this one easy check could save you a huge amount of money.
In the event that your car does start overheating, you must pull over as soon as you can – when it is safe.
Switch on your hazard lights and get all passengers out of the car,.
If possible, open your bonnet and take a big step back in case hot steam rushes out.
Finally, leave your car for 30 minutes to let the engine cool down.
There are several other checks that can keep your car road-ready in the hot weather.
Tyre pressure can be affected by warmer weather, as the heat can cause the air inside the tyres to expand.
This can cause your tyre pressure to skyrocket, which comes with a host of issues.
Not only does this increase the chance of tyre wear, but it can cause damage to your suspension – which is costly to repair.
Some engine oils should also be replaced during periods of hot weather, if their viscosity will be affected by heat.
The news comes as the UK braces for a heatwave which has already begun to smash records.
Yesterday, Britain saw its hottest day of the year so far with temperatures in the South East climbing to 32.2C.
In order to qualify as a heatwave, temperatures must be consistently reach a threshold temperature for at least three consecutive days.
In the North and West of England, that temperature is 25C where it is 30C in the South.
This weekend, meteorologists expect that the South East could see highs of a sweltering 33C, as the heatwave continues.
Today, experts have warned that parts of the country could experience highs of 29C which has led thousands of Brits to flock to beaches across the country.
