What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

A joint study by Maynooth University, Met Éireann, and Teagasc found that human-caused global warming made extreme July conditions eight times more likely. Ireland recorded its driest July on record, with high temperatures increasing dryness by raising potential evapotranspiration. The research examined how climate change contributed to the exceptional conditions experienced in summer 2026.
