Ireland’s Heatwave Explained

Ireland’s sweltering under a rare heatwave — three locations have hit five straight days of 25°C, triggering official alerts. While definitions vary globally (UK uses three days, Ireland sticks to five), this isn’t just a fluke: high-pressure systems and a warm European air mass are fueling the spell, complete with tropical nights. Historically, Ireland’s longest heatwave lasted 14 days in 1976, and scientists confirm climate change is making these events hotter, longer, and more frequent — right here at home.
