Sunday 13/7/25
The Alex Alerting Service is issuing a Category 3 Warning for Sligo, Clare, Galway and Leitrim from 13/07/2025 1300hr to 2100hr for severe thunderstorms and torrential rain.
Rainfall is expected to reach or exceed 20mm per 3hr or 6.6mm/hr, which is considered a medium flood risk. This is paired with high intensity thunderstorms over Castlebar, Sligo Town and parts of Leitrim and Roscommon.
There is no crosswind detected and so the possibility of this being a supercell storm is diminished. However, if you do spot a supercell forming, rotating clouds, or a funnel cloud forming, please inform AAS-ROI immediately and submit any photo or video evidence to www.aas-roi.com/private-submission
Avoid low-lying routes. Do not drive through floodwater. Remain indoors during lightning activity.

Friday
The Alex Alerting Service is issuing a Category 4 warning from 10:00hr Friday 11 July through 0500hr Sunday 13 july for heat and fire danger.

City Swell is where asphalt, buildings and glass contribute to greater heating of the air and other surfaces, which can lead to exaggerated localised heat as a result.
Ensure to wear runners and socks at all times to prevent your feet from burning while in a city centre and visit [This Page] for more information.
Wednesday
The Alex Alerting Service is issuing a Category 4 warning for heat from July 11th, 2025 through Sunday 13th of July 2025 from 20:00hr through 22:00hr nationwide.
Temperatures are expected to reach or exceed 31°C nationally, with exposed areas reaching 25°C nationally. AAS-ROI data shows a raise of upwards of 23°C in city cores, which may bring apparent temperatures of 41°C or greater during this time in Cork, Limerick and Galway, with Dublin potentially being the worst affected due to the size of the city itself. National humidity levels are anticipated to reach and exceed 84% due to partial or heavy cloud cover in places and AAS wishes to inform residents that this could potentially mark the hottest days of the year Ireland has experienced in the last 200 years, Based on brief research.
The Alex Alerting Service will continuously update this alert as further information becomes available.
Please attempt to resolve heat related issues before contacting the emergency services, only contacting them if you are alone and feeling lethargic or if your partner, spouse or co-habitant considers you are lethargic. Please remember that your health is of extreme importance, that you may not be able to cool down effectively unless you live on the coast with a stiff wind or have air conditioning at your property. Consider entering a store with air conditioning if you do not have any at your home and failing this, consider taking a cool shower though, not so cold that it will be shocking, and/or taking a bath with a few ice packs within to immediately cool down. AAS recommends releasing the water as you enter, to prevent hypothermia as your health is important.
Contact 112 in an emergency or follow the link on our homepage at http://www.aas-roi.com to join us on WhatsApp if you require advice.
Please know that AAS wishes to ensure you are safe and well, and so we will not provide any advice that may be dangerous or harmful to your safety at any time. Please use your best judgement regarding your safety and wellbeing and also consider the wellbeing of those vulnerable, elderly or actively prescribed SSRI's as these may affect the individual’s ability to regulate body heat.

Advice
The Alex Alerting Service recommends that you open south facing doors and windows while home during the day and closing same during the night, while leaving windows in vent mode, the second "not fully closed" latch at night for personal safety, while also leaving north facing windows on the upper floor of your property (if applicable, otherwise on the ground floor) open for the duration of this time to permit a strong airflow. Do not follow this piece of advice if the air entering your home feels warmer than it already is. Close blind or draw curtains to block direct sunlight entering your home to assist in the regulation of heat and for a time after sunset, consider bringing a draught through your home to cool it down. Do not forget to set windows to latch and to lock doors at night for your safety, except on upper floors and use your best judgement to determine if it is safe to leave any window or door open overnight.
Place dish-cloths in water, wring them and place them in a zip-lock bag in the refrigerator and when you feel the need, place them on the back of your neck, drink 3L of water throughout the time you are awake, and no more than 2L of water per 6 hours of daytime to prevent adverse effects, do not drink caffeinated beverages like tea or coffee and consider drinking 1 pint for men which is at most 2.5%ABV and a glass and a half for ladies of the same ABV. Rockshore (Light Irish Lager) is 2.5% ABV. We do recommended to be 0%ABV to assist the body to cool and refresh if you are beginning to feel exhausted and immediately make your way home.
Do not leave your phone in direct sunlight as this will cause it to overheat and may cause permanent damage! Remove phones from cases while charging to prevent damage to the battery and if you have any fans/fan heaters with a fan mode, consider using them to help you stay cool.
Use Aloe Vera to address sunburn and apply SPF 50 or greater if available due to an exceptionally high UV index.
