Today is set to be the hottest day of the year so far - with highs of 21 degrees forecast for some parts of the country. Met Eireann says the centre of an area of high pressure will be positioned over the country today, making it the hottest day of the current warm spell. However, cooler and wetter than average weather is expected next week. Michelle Dillon, Tullycrine native and Met Éireann Forecaster, joined Alan Morrissey to take us through today's weather, plus what we can expect over the next week or so.

Meanwhile, Clare County Council engineering crews are continuing the clean up operation across the Banner county. 150 personnel responded to incidents yesterday while Clare County Fire Service remain on standby today. The road alongside the collapsed sea wall in Cappagh, Kilrush. has remained closed as a precaution, with works to begin the reconstruction of the wall set to begin on Monday. Efforts are also continuing to clear extensive debris from the pier in Liscannor. Senior Engineer with Clare County Council, Cyril Feeney, claims clearing fallen trees from the county's roads network remains the priority. He says there is light at the end of the tunnel with the majority of the county's roads clear, however regional roads in the east of the county may remain impassable until tomorrow. Elsewhere, Met Eireann has issued another weather alert for the Banner county for Sunday. The low level yellow warning is due to come into effect on tomorrow morning from 6am to 6pm. The forecaster has warned of difficult travelling conditions and further damage to already weakened structures caused by storm Éowyn. Carlow Weather's Alan O'Reilly says people should make every effort to assess any damage from yesterday's storm, before the weather changes again tonight;

A timely new report by climate scientists at the Irish Centre for High-End Computing (ICHEC) and funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Met Eireann and the Marine Institute addresses a research gap in previous regional climate projections for Ireland which showed large uncertainty for certain climate projections, such as precipitation. The Updated High-Resolution Climate Projections for Ireland increase confidence in climate projections for Ireland which, if realised, will impact Ireland's economy, society and environment in dramatic ways. Dr Paul Nolan, Climate Scientist, ICHEC lead author of the report said: "It is imperative that planners and policymakers are adequately informed about future climate change so that appropriate mitigation and adaptation measures can be implemented. This research will inform national policy and further our understanding of the impacts of climate change in Ireland at a local scale." Key Findings: What the Future Holds for Ireland's Climate The updated projections offer a clearer picture of the climate changes Ireland can expect. Below are some of the key findings of the report: Temperature: Near-surface temperatures are projected to rise by 0.5-0.7°C (2021-2050) under a low-emission scenario (SSP1-2.6), and by 2.4-3.0°C (2071-2100) under a high-emission scenario (SSP5-8.5), with the largest increases observed in eastern Ireland. Extreme Weather: Heatwaves are expected to become more frequent, while frost and ice days will decrease. The rainfall climate is projected to become more variable across extremes; both dry spells and extreme rainfall events will intensify. Precipitation: The rainfall climate will become more variable across the seasons. Winter and autumn months are projected to become wetter, while summer rainfall is expected to decrease by up to 8% by the end of the century. Snowfall: Snowfall is expected to decline sharply, with reductions of up to 84% by 2100 under the highest emissions scenario. Growing Seasons: The length of the growing season is projected to increase, benefiting agriculture with warmer soil temperatures and improved conditions for crop production. Energy: Wind energy potential is projected to decrease, particularly in summer, while photovoltaic power is expected to decline across all seasons. Heating Demand: With warmer winters, heating demand in Ireland is expected to decrease over the coming decades. What's new in the latest report? The research improves on previous research by simulating the future climate at a higher spatial resolution (4 km) using the most up-to-date regional climate models to downscale an ensemble of CMIP6 global datasets under the new SSP-RCP emission scenarios. An increased ensemble size of projections was completed which allows for a more accurate quantification of climate change uncertainty. For example, there is disagreement in the ensembles for projections of annual rainfall, so this projection is assigned lower confidence. Conversely, there is high agreement in the ensemble of temperature projections, and as such we assign high confidence to this projection. Furthermore, the current report provides projections for additional climate variables and derived metrics that are critically important to biodiversity and to key Irish sectors, including agriculture, health, energy and transport. The SSP-RCP scenario-based national projections are supplemented with global warming threshold (GWT) scenario projections. These alternative scenarios have garnered substantial interest since the 2015 Paris Agreement (a United Nations treaty in which 195 nations pledged to tackle climate change), which aims to limit global warming to "well below" 2°C by the end of the century, and "pursue efforts" to keep warming within the safer limit of 1.5°C (UN, 2015). For example, the projections under the "1.5°C GWT scenario" show projections over Ireland in a world that is 1.5°C warmer than the period 1850-1900 (Figure 5). Note that temperature pr...

As the saying goes, it takes many years to become an overnight success, and this is something that Chris Kent knows all about. Having worked for years as an electrician, Chris wanted to try his hand at comedy and started to graft hard on the scene. Things started to take off for him and he was able to work at his comedy full time. But then Covid hit – the dream ended and Chris went back to his trade to make ends meet. But today, Chris is back on the horse and he's selling out venues all over Ireland and the UK. On this episode of the Mario Rosenstock Podcast he tells me his fascinating story and we go deep on all things comedy, writing and life as a performer Comedy – we got exclusive access to Met Eireann's voicemails this week, and some familiar voices have a lot to say to them!

The Marine Institute's Explorers Education Programme is thrilled to announce the launch of its innovative 'Superhero Climate Change' educational resources. This comprehensive suite includes interactive presentations, teacher guides, lesson plans, and activities designed for thematic and cross-curricular learning in primary schools. These resources offer a unique opportunity for teachers and pupils to engage with the complex issue of climate change in a practical and enjoyable way. Marine Institute CEO, Dr Rick Officer, praised the Explorers team for their efforts in creating these materials, stating: "This wide range of content helps to demystify global warming and the impacts of climate change, presenting them in a way that both teachers and children can easily understand and enjoy. The learning and engagement process also inspires creative solutions to tackle this global challenge." Restoring and protecting the Earth's land, ocean, and biodiversity, as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, are priorities echoed in key messages from recent UN climate summits. These summits have called for international collaboration to galvanize world climate and environmental goals. Dr Rick Officer further emphasised: "It is particularly timely that these resources highlight the importance of collaborative learning and knowledge-sharing in addressing climate change. By fostering a collective understanding of the Earth's climate system, we can work together to find effective solutions." Lead author of the Explorers Climate Change Superhero resources, Cushla Dromgool-Regan, explained: "These resources go beyond simply teaching about climate change; they help to develop a range of skills. Teachers and children will enhance their citizen engagement, digital learning, well-being, creativity, and language skills, all while deepening their understanding of the critical issue of climate change." Through creative and language-focused activities, such as drama, storytelling and writing, children are encouraged to explore the impacts of climate change on the ocean. By telling the stories of marine species, from plankton to whales, as well as polar bears, penguins, puffins, corals and fish, the pupils will learn about the impacts of ocean warming, ice-melting, sea-level rise, marine heatwaves, and ocean acidification. Highlighting the importance of ocean science, Dr Caroline Cusack, Ocean Climate Scientist at the Marine Institute, congratulated the Explorers team, noting: "The module dedicated to ocean observations is fantastic. It showcases the critical role of marine scientists in gathering data using satellites, research vessels, and cutting-edge technology to monitor changes in the ocean. Sharing the work we do highlights the importance of marine research in protecting marine biodiversity and understanding the impacts of climate change." Ms Dromgool-Regan extended her gratitude to the Marine Institute scientists, as well as climate and weather experts from Met Eireann and the Environmental Protection Agency, for their invaluable contributions. She acknowledged the collaborative efforts of co-author Atlaya Peritz, the Explorers outreach team, and teachers who trialled the materials in classrooms. "Everyone's contributions has enriched these resources, making them engaging and impactful for teachers and children in the classroom. Together, we hope to inspire children to take positive actions and truly become Climate Change Superheroes." The Climate Change Superheroes - Creating Solutions educational resources are now available to freely download from the website www.explorers.ie. The Explorers Education Programme is funded by the Marine Institute. The Programme is managed by Camden Education Trust and Galway Atlantaquaria. The outreach is delivered by SeashoreKids, Oceanics Surf School, Old Cork Waterworks Experience, Galway Atlantaquaria, Sea Synergy, and Leave No Trace - Ireland.
