Next week is warming up nicely 👀☀️

Book the week off work — tell the boss I said it’s ok.

At the minute, forecasts don’t quite reach official heatwave thresholds, but details could change in the coming days.

Stay tuned 🌡️

[Barra Best @barrabest]

@Petagna Yes, the same threshold 👍

[Barra Best @barrabest]

@ConnorsDea66475 lol. That was in yesterdays forecast

[Barra Best @barrabest]

@PauleeAnderson I don’t think it’ll get that high.

[Barra Best @barrabest]

@PauleeAnderson Certainly warmer than average for the time of year but, alas, no official heatwave in the current forecast.

[Barra Best @barrabest]

@PauleeAnderson No. Gotta be 25C or above for at least 5 days in a row. Galway Sunday around 21, around 22 Monday, 19/20 on Tuesday.

@CreativSam2 But, only one leg out of the bed. Two legs, and the monster below the bed can get ya 😂

Portrush was overcast, mild, breezy, and full of the shrieks and laughter of many school trips this lunchtime! 🌊☁️🩶

@AnnMarieCFoster @BirdseyeKite @johncreedon My washing is currently in a taxi to Fermanagh as we speak

@grumpitcol I know that. But NI still falls under EU rules, so it could still apply. And it will deffo apply to Ryanair flights from NI to GB as they’re EU registered. Either way - I’m glad finally to have it included finally.

@grumpitcol NI is still under EU rules, so easyJet to GB could still be relevant under the new plans.

[John Nugent @JohnNugent19]

@barrabest ah, my home town of Whitehead. Now living in South Wales, but watch the NI news to keep in touch.

[Barra Best @barrabest]

@grumpitcol If a flight travels into the EU from outside the EU, then EU rules apply. If a company is registered in the EU, then EU rules apply. Also - NI is still under EU rules.

[Barra Best @barrabest]

@chopchopni I think it should be good for us consumers and passengers but, as you say, will be interesting to see how it all pans out next year ✈️✈️
