Met Éireann issues multiple heat-related advisories for Ireland as a broader European hot spell continues. Several outlets report that a High Temperature warning is due to come into effect for a group of counties, with temperatures expected to rise over the weekend and into the following week. One report says the warning begins at 1pm on Friday and runs until 7am on Sunday, with additional coverage extended to more counties, bringing the total to 12 or 13 depending on the update. During the warning period, expected highs are around 29C in some areas and up to 30C in others. Separate reporting also points to warm, humid conditions continuing next week, with temperatures forecast to reach about 25C in Ireland’s coming days. Background context from all sources links the situation to an ongoing heatwave across parts of Europe, where some areas are forecast to see temperatures above 40C. Earlier in the month, temperatures in Ireland reportedly exceeded 30C and records were broken across Europe. Overall, the alerts and forecasts focus on a short-term hot weekend and sustained warmth into early July.
