Ireland '20 times more likely' to reach 33C

It found Ireland is now 20 times more likely to experience its highest ever temperature of 33C, which last happened more than 80 years ago.

They also found the spatial impact of extreme heat has more than doubled here, meaning far more people will be impacted each time.Lead author, Professor Andrew Parnell of the Hamilton Institute at Maynooth University, said the findings have profound implications for public health, agriculture, economic stability, and infrastructure resilience.

Ireland has never experienced 34C of heat. But this study suggests we would do well to prepare for it. Prof Parnell said:"We are often focussed on average changes, and particularly focus on the Paris Climate Agreement of 1.5C.
