Ireland and UK Battle Record Heat | Cork News

Ireland’s sweltering heatwave hits again with Dublin’s Phoenix Park reaching 25°C, while Met Éireann warns of up to 31°C and urges pet and livestock care under a nationwide hosepipe ban. Across the pond, the UK shattered records with Kew Gardens hitting 38.1°C — its second such day this year and matching the all-time record set in 2022. Scorching temps are turning grass brown, triggering yellow alerts for Leinster and Tipperary, with thundery showers possible in the west and north. Friday will remain warm but slightly cooler, with highs from 17°C in the northwest to 24-25°C in the south and east, as drought conditions persist across England and Wales. Authorities stress caution and compliance with restrictions to cope with the relentless heat. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
