Ireland records a new May high temperature of 28.8°C, according to reports from multiple outlets. The figure comes from readings taken by automatic climate stations located in Killarney and Clonmel. Both stations record 28.8°C at around 3pm on Monday. The reports describe the measurement as a new high for the month of May, indicating it surpasses previous May temperatures recorded in Ireland up to that point. While the articles focus on the specific temperature and the stations that logged it, they do not provide additional details such as broader county coverage, the duration of the peak, or comparisons with previous May records. Overall, the accounts agree that the reported 28.8°C peak is based on automatic weather observations from those two locations, recorded in the mid-afternoon period.
