Water safety agencies issue guidelines to public to enjoy water safely over sunny weekend
Mist and fog in the morning will largely clear, with the day being mainly dry with sunny spells. A few scattered thunderstorms may develop inland during the afternoon, the forecaster added.
Sunday will stay very warm and humid. There will be sunny spells and showers, some heavy with thunderstorms and spot flooding possible. It won’t be quite as warm as previous days with highest temperatures of 19 to 24 degrees, with light variable breezes.In a joint statement in advance of the warm weekend, the Irish Coast Guard, Water Safety Ireland, and the RNLI appealed to the public to be attentive to their personal safety when engaging in any water or coastal activities.
“It is beautiful weather. We are having an unusual September and we have to enjoy it. But we have got to think water safety at all times. I would ask your listeners to plan and prepare if they are going to a waterway this weekend. If possible go to a lifeguarded waterway. When you do get to that lifeguarded waterway look at the flags,” she told RTÉ Radio 1’s Morning Ireland.
Ms Walsh said on average over the last ten years Ireland has recorded around 105 drownings every year.
