Ireland in the Grip of a Heatwave | Limerick News

Heatwave alert across Ireland, with Cork leading the pack at over 25°C for five straight days and temperatures potentially soaring to 30°C in the south and east. Met Éireann has issued a Status Yellow warning for 12 counties, set to last through Sunday morning. Water restrictions are ramping up overnight in areas like Cavan, Wexford, Achill, and Kiltimagh as demand surges. The Department of Agriculture has raised the fire risk to Status Orange, urging no open fires in forests or dry grasslands. The Irish Coast Guard is reminding everyone to stay vigilant near water and to call 999 or 112 if you spot someone in distress. The heat is expected to linger into next week, with the warmest conditions in the southeast and possible low-30s before a cooldown. Stay cool, stay safe.
