The prolonged spell of dry weather has put water supplies in some areas 'on a knife edge', according to Uisce Éireann.

The utility company said average water demand in the greater Dublin area had been at a record level of more than 630 million litres per day.
'This is close to the limit of what can be sustainably produced by our water treatment infrastructure,' it said.
Uisce Éireann appealed to consumers to be mindful of their water usage.
A water conservation order, commonly referred to as a hosepipe ban, has been in place for supplies in Mullingar, Co Westmeath; Milford, Co Donegal; and Kells-Oldcastle, Co Meath, since early May.

UK weather: Will we get another heatwave this summer?
The first half of summer gave us warmth, sunshine - and three over the last week things have changed drastically with heavy rain bringing some of the wettest weather of the season so most schools on summer holiday, the UK's highest temperatures are typically recorded during July and you may well be wondering whether sunshine and warmth will return and if another heatwave could be on the cards. What happened to the heat? High pressure has dominated our summer so brought prolonged dry spells and three separate heatwaves with temperatures peaking at 35.8C (96.4F) at Faversham (Kent) on 1 since then we have seen a big change in our weather jet stream has dipped southwards sending areas of low pressure towards our has generated enough rain to give flash flooding in some places - including parts of Northern Ireland and eastern England - but not nearly enough to allow hosepipe bans to be lifted. Some places have had thunderstorms and there was even a tornado in County changes like this are common in meteorology - one type of weather can last for several weeks before changing to something totally different. Will there be another heatwave this summer? For the rest of this week and into the weekend, we will find ourselves between high pressure and low pressure, with neither particularly strongly in means less rain, more dry weather and some sunshine - although a few showers will also feature. This will give mostly westerly winds - rarely a source of heat for the will rise a little, generally reaching 18-24C (64-75F) but perhaps peaking at 28C (82F) in south-east England on values are a little above the seasonal average but certainly do not come close to a heatwave. What chance of an August heatwave? Long-term outlooks from BBC Weather - and also from the Met Office, external - suggest that August is likely to start on a rather breezy note with westerly winds and some rain, particularly in the north of the UK. Drier conditions are more likely further south and on the exact wind direction temperatures may be around, just below or just above the seasonal norm.A few computer model runs do hint at some heat developing in the south but at the moment this looks quite unlikely. There are some signs that high pressure may start to take more control as we head deeper into August, with more chance of dry and settled it sticks around for long enough - and if southerly or easterly winds develop - some very warm or hot weather could return. However, long-range forecasting is always prone to uncertainty and different computer models provide different ideas of exactly what might be coming our is worth saying that dry, hot weather is far from guaranteed in August. In fact it tends to be the wettest of the summer months, with the UK typically recording more rainfall overall than in June or the rest of summer plays out you can keep up to date with your local forecast by downloading the BBC Weather app.
