Met Éireann Weather Warning – High Temperatures⚠️

Kerry County Council wishes to advise that Met Éireann has EXTENDED the Yellow High Temperature warning for Kerry from 12:00 on Wednesday, July 15th to 06:00 on Friday, July 17th as temperatures are forecast to exceed 27°C by day and 15°C overnight.

Please take extra care and be aware of the following potential impacts:

🏊 Water Safety Risks – More people using beaches, lakes, and rivers increases the risk of accidents. With rising temperatures, Kerry County Council urges outdoor enthusiasts to check Met Éireann forecasts and warnings, supervise children, and follow water safety advice. Exercise caution in coastal and inland waterways.

😴 Uncomfortable sleeping conditions—hot nights can disrupt sleep. Stay hydrated and keep your room cool.

☀️ Heat stress can harm health, especially for the elderly, young children, and those with existing health issues.

🚗 Road Safety – Minimise sun glare with sunglasses. Stay prepared with plenty of water. Watch for pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders, and motorcyclists. Slow down and give extra space when passing.

🔥 Risk of Forest Fires – Dry and hot conditions increase the potential for fires. Avoid lighting barbecues or open fires in areas of vegetation. If you see a fire, report it immediately to the emergency services - Dial 999 or 112.

✅ Stay hydrated

✅ Use sunscreen and seek shade during peak sunshine hours

✅ Avoid going out or partaking in strenuous activities during the hottest part of the day

✅ Check in on vulnerable neighbours, friends and family

Water Safety Ireland are currently offering free educational visits to Early Learning and Care Settings and preschools across the country.

As part of these visits, a member of their Education Team will deliver the Hold Hands Water Safety Programme - a fun, interactive and age-appropriate session designed for children aged 3 - 5 years. The programme introduces young children to important water safety messages through engaging stories and activities, helping them to recognise potential dangers around water at home, on farms, at beaches, rivers, lakes, swimming pools and while on holiday. At the heart of the programme is one simple but potentially life-saving message: always hold an adult's hand near water.
Educators who would like to arrange a free visit can do so by completing the booking form below:

Request a Hold Hands Visit: https://watersafety.ie/hold-hands-form/
