Galway Bay fm newsroom - It looks like a record has been set for the hottest temperature ever recorded in July.
Met Eireann says a temperature of 33C was reported from the weather station at Phoenix Park in Dublin at lunchtime.
It would be the highest temperature recorded in over a century - and very close to the highest ever recorded, 33.3c at Kilkenny Castle in 1887.
But what do people in Galway make of the hot weather - Aisling Bolton Dowling has been finding out.
Aisling also asked people if they thought the media are going overboard in their coverage of the heat.
