Temperatures set to hit 30C again amid drought warning

The heatwave is not over yet, with temperatures expected to hit 30C again later this week.

Met Éireann has warned that drought or near-drought conditions will persist right across the country this week with almost no rainfall except for the odd shower or spot of misty drizzle from very weak fronts.

Met Éireann’s John Eagleton said temperatures would reach 28ºC today. It will become very warm again tomorrow with top temperatures in the mid to high twenties.
