Heatwave Lingers, Relief on the Way | Dublin News

Heatwave grip the island with temps hitting 29°C and lingering until Friday, paired with muggy nights—lows barely dipping below 14-18°C. Blame a high-pressure system drifting in from the Azores, pushing warm air while keeping most areas dry, though thunderstorms could roll in Thursday, especially west and southwest. Europe-wide, Western nations are reeling from record-breaking heat—with UK issuing amber alerts, temperatures soaring into the mid-30s, deadly heat spikes, and over 70% of England in drought. Relief’s on the way: low pressure from the Atlantic will bring cooler, wetter weather by Friday. Weekend? Mixed sun and showers Saturday, possibly rainier Sunday. And don’t forget—the hosepipe ban stays for two more weeks as water levels plummet; authorities are also reviewing a yellow alert for those stubborn warm nights.
