Met Éireann has issued a high temperature warning for Friday, though temperatures are expected to gradually decrease this weekend. Amidst the ongoing heatwave and associated wildfire risk, authorities have requested retailers to temporarily suspend the sale of disposable barbecues. This measure aims to prevent potential fires as Status Orange wildfire warnings are currently in effect. The high temperatures and dry conditions create an elevated risk of wildfires spreading rapidly. Citizens are urged to exercise extreme caution and adhere to fire safety guidelines. This action highlights the growing concern over the impact of the heatwave on Ireland’s landscape and safety. The suspension is intended to remain in place for the duration of the Status Orange warning.
