High pressure to bring even higher temperatures by next weekend, with no rain forecast and status orange fire alert in place
David Corkery: ‘I feel like I’m being villainised by the whole rugby community because I’m taking this action’
While the hot weather is good for holidaymakers and ice cream sellers, it is not good news for farmers or gardeners. Many places are already in drought across the country, especially in the east where most weather stations have seen no rain for at least the last 14 days, including all Dublin stations and those in the southeast. Other places further west have only had trace amounts of rainfall in recent days. Valentia Island in Co Kerry, which is traditionally one of the wettest places in the country, is in drought at present.“There is no change in the weather,” Ms Donnelly said.
“The centre of the high pressure is moving eastward so we are getting a south-easterly wind and that will bring with it even warmer temperatures. Temperatures will peak at 26 degrees next Saturday and will go even higher in a week’s time.” A status orange alert fire warning is in place until Tuesday but is likely to be extended for the rest of the week with so many places across the country tinder-dry at present.
