NI weather: Temperatures here hotter than Malta and same as the Canary Islands as heatwave continues

The hottest day of the year in Northern Ireland so far has been recorded by the Met Office as 24 °C – and meteorologists say temperatures could rise even further later this week with widespread sunshine predicted by the Met Office.

Today, according to the Met Office, it will be warm, locally very warm across the west with a “maximum temperature 24 °C”.

So it seems NI is going to be the same temperature as the Canary Islands today and hotter than Malta who was registering at 23°C.
