Weather expert issues hurricane warning as Tropical Storm Erin forms in Atlantic
A weather expert has issued a warning as Tropical Storm Erin is forecast to strengthen into the first hurricane of the Atlantic season this week. A tropical rainstorm in the eastern Atlantic Ocean has evolved into Tropical Storm Erin, and could become a major Category 3 hurricane by the weekend, according to reports. Alan O'Reilly, the hobbyist meteorologist who runs the popular Carlow Weather social media pages, has said that that Tropical Storm Erin "has the potential to become a serious hurricane," although he added that it's far too early to know exactly what kind of a threat it will pose to Ireland should it make its way into the western Atlantic. "Tropical Storm Erin has formed in the Atlantic and has the potential to become a serious hurricane," O'Reilly said in a post shared on his Carlow Weather X / Twitter page on Monday. "Current track forecast keeps it in the Atlantic and turning North but one to watch over coming days." Meanwhile, O'Reilly said we can look forward to a warm and sunny week ahead, with temperatures expected to climb as high as 29C on Tuesday. The weather expert warned that we could see the odd shower over the coming days, but the weather will improve once again as we head towards the weekend, with sizzling temperatures and clear blue skies expected as Oasis bring their long-awaited Live 25 reunion tour to Dublin's Croke Park on Saturday and Sunday. "5pm on Monday and the cloud - we did have some rain in the South, and Southeast - has pretty much cleared most areas," he said in a video message to his followers on Monday evening. "And what it has left behind is lots of warm sunshine. It's going to be a warm night - it won't get below 16C in some parts - so a warm, humid night. Best of luck trying to sleep if you don't like that. "But tomorrow, it's going to get up to 28C, possibly even 29C, with good sunny spells. A small chance of local showers kicking off, especially in the Southeast corner, probably around Wexford, but it's only a small chance. "So enjoyed the bit of warmth, and it looks like it is going to stay mainly warm for the rest of the week now, easing back a little bit before picking up again, probably for Friday and the weekend."

Wildfires erupt again in Spain & south of France killing at least one as tourists, hotels and beach bars evacuated In a heatwave advisory, the forecaster said: "The high level of sunshine typical of summer is causing temperatures to be higher than usual for this time of year, resulting in a heat wave. "Today, Monday the 11th, maximum temperatures are expected to continue rising, "Temperatures will continue to reach 37C-39C across the peninsular interior, also extending to the Júcar and Segura basins and the interior of the Basque Country, where temperatures could even locally exceed 40C." A red warning has also been issued for the region of Andalusia on Tueday with temperatures possibly reaching a scorching 44C. 'SEVERAL MORE DAYS' Aemet says the heatwave is expected to last until Wednesday. Forecasts for Wednesday and Thursday remain uncertain, with temperatures expected to fall on Wednesday only to pick back up again on Thursday.

HEATING UP IN OTHER COUNTRIES Spain isn't the only holiday hotspot being blasted by unusually high temperatures this week. Swaths of France will reach 35-40C today, with some areas climbing to the low 40s. And parts of Portugal could see temperatures reach over 40C.

"It will feel very muggy and humid with little or no wind overland." Met Eireann said tomorrow will be mostly dry with spells of sunshine, however, a few scattered showers that could be heavy or thundery may develop in places through the day. The forecaster's HARMONIE weather model has showed that temperatures of 30C could possibly hit in parts of Tipperary tomorrow. The weather map shows temperatures in Galway, Offaly, Kilkenny Limerick and Laois being among the highest in the country tomorrow - between 28C and 29C. Roscommon, Leitrim, Cavan, Longford, Clare, Cork, Kerry, Wexford and Kildare look set to reach temperatures topping 27C, according to Met Eireann's model.

Spain issues urgent Status Red warning as Irish tourists endure brutal 44C heat
Summer holidays are in full swing and thousands of Irish travellers are gearing up to head to Spain's sun-soaked beaches. However those visiting over the coming days are being urged to stay alert as a brutal heatwave has gripped much of the country - including some popular holiday hotspots. Spain's meteorological agency AEMET has issued dozens of weather warnings, including Status Red alerts, ahead of temperatures soaring as high as 44C. The heatwave, which began on Sunday, August 3, is expected to continue at least until Tuesday, August 12, creating dangerous conditions - particularly in inland and southern regions that Irish visitors frequently flock to. According to AEMET, a "stationary synoptic weather pattern" is sustaining a hot, dry air mass over most of Spain and the Canary Islands. Combined with intense summer sunshine, this has pushed temperatures well beyond the usual highs for this time of year. Today maximum temperatures across the peninsular interior are forecast to reach between 37C and 39C, with some areas expected to hit as high as 42C. Inland Basque Country and parts of the Mediterranean basin are also likely to experience temperatures exceeding 40C. The heat will remain blistering through Tuesday, with temperatures on the Mediterranean coast beginning to drop slightly. But in the southwest, the mercury may climb to an alarming 44C in parts of the Guadalquivir valley. There is some uncertainty due to possible widespread afternoon thunderstorms, which could influence daytime temperature peaks. Spain weather warnings (Image: AEMET) Meanwhile, minimum temperatures are forecast to stay very high overnight, rarely dipping below 22C to 25C in southern and eastern areas. Looking ahead, temperatures are signalled to start to ease from Wednesday, particularly along the Cantabrian coast. However, AEMET warns that heatwave conditions will likely persist in southern and northeastern regions due to residual heat and potential thunderstorms. Canary Islands weather warnings (Image: AEMET) Worryingly, AEMET says a new upward trend in temperatures could emerge later in the week, especially across the northern half of Spain. Given these extreme conditions, Irish holidaymakers are advised to take precautions such as staying hydrated, avoiding peak sun hours and monitoring local weather updates.
