The top five hottest days reveal a pattern of rising extremes, with Athy and Elphin also cracking the list. While the 1976 heatwave brought early harvests for farmers, it also sparked dangerous gorse fires. Though the 1887 record’s validity has been questioned, recent meteorological studies support its standing — and increasingly, scientists link these extreme events to climate change, projecting future heatwaves could be 2-4°C hotter. Without global and local action, adapting to these escalating extremes will become essential. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
