Last month was the fourth warmest June on record
Last month was the fourth warmest June on record, according to Met Éireann. The highest temperature recorded was 29.6C in Mount Dillon, Co Roscommon on June 20th, which is also the warmest temperature this year. Advertisement Mean temperatures for the month ranged from 13.7 °C (1.2 °C above its LTA) at Knock Airport, Co Mayo to 15.6 °C (1.7 °C above its LTA) at Phoenix Park, Co Dublin. The final third of the month has been remarkably hot for Europe, when an intense area of high pressure built over mainland Europe, provoking heatwave conditions to develop over it. While this happened over mainland Europe, Ireland stayed on the cloudier northern edge of the heat dome, which brought some uncomfortably high nighttime temperatures, contributing to the high June temperatures overall. All of the warmest June temperatures have been recorded in the last 20 years, with the other warmest June's in 2023, 2018, 2010 and 2006, with 2023 the warmest in history. Advertisement The average temperature last month was 15.10 °C. It was also the wettest June since 2022, and the 24th wettest since 1941. Percentage of monthly rainfall values ranged from 56 per cent, the month's lowest monthly rainfall total of 47.0 mm, at Cork Airport, Co Cork to 206 per cent, the month's highest monthly rainfall total of 165.0 mm, at Athenry, Co Galway. The highest daily rainfall total was 42.6 mm at Casement Aerodrome, Co Dublin on Saturday June 14th. The number of rain days* ranged from 19 days at both Dublin Airport, and Casement Aerodrome, Co Dublin to 26 days at both Athenry, Co Galway and Claremorris, Co Mayo.

UK weather: No more heatwave on the horizon as UK conditions cool
After record-breaking June temperatures and a searing start to July for many in England, it looks as though there will be no return to heatwave conditions in the near Tuesday officially became the hottest day of the year so far - with a temperature of 34.7C (94.4F) recorded in London's St James's Park - the outlook for the start of July is much comfortable temperatures have already set in across the country, with some places more than 10C cooler than they were earlier this the next 10 days, short-lived hot weather spells are expected - but a return to heatwave conditions is not forecast for the first half of this month. Wednesday's temperatures will range between 16C to 26C north to south. Tonight will also be cooler, fresher and more for much of the next week will be in the mid to high teens in Scotland and Northern Ireland and low to mid-20s in England and Wales. However, Friday will likely be the warmest day, when we could see 27C or 28C in the far there be a drought where I live? After the driest spring on record and a dry start to summer for many, especially in England, there is some rainfall expected over the next five days. The majority will fall in the north-west of the British Isles. Yorkshire and North-west England are already in drought, and the Environment Agency says two thirds of England's river flow are currently classed as "below normal or lower for the time of year". Eastern Scotland and parts of Wales are also seeing low water and Friday will see some outbreaks of rain, mainly in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Temperatures throughout the weekend will be widely unsettled across the UK and showers will be unpredictable. It is likely that higher pressure will build again into the second week of July, meaning the chance of rain will be week marked the second UK heatwave of 2025. It lasted six days for parts of Yorkshire and the Humber, and five for people in central and eastern official heatwave is declared when locations reach a certain temperature for three consecutive thresholds vary from 25C to 28C in different parts of the was the result of a large area of high pressure getting "stuck" over Europe – dubbed a "heat dome" by some - and high temperatures are becoming increasingly common in the have emphasised the role of climate change in these sizzling summers, saying that heatwaves will likely become more frequent and hotter in the future.

Thousands of Australians without power and flash flood warnings in place after ‘bomb cyclone'
Emergency crews are scrambling to keep up with rising rivers and widespread damage as a powerful coastal storm battering eastern Australia leaves roads flooded, trees fallen and tens of thousands of people without power. The storm system, initially referred to as a ' bomb cyclone', intensified overnight on Tuesday and dumped more than 150mm rain in parts of coastal New South Wales and triggered damaging winds reaching 125kmph. The Bureau of Meteorology warned of damaging winds and dangerous surf continuing into Thursday morning, with gusts of up to 100kmph still possible inland. A coastal hazard warning remained in place for the entire NSW coastline, with waves of up to 7 metres forecast to pound beaches from Seal Rocks to the Victorian border, threatening severe coastal erosion. Flooding is now a key concern as rivers across Sydney's west and the state's south coast rise sharply. The NSW SES has issued advice-level flood warnings for Camden, Penrith and North Richmond, with the Nepean and Hawkesbury rivers expected to rise rapidly overnight. Authorities also warned that the Warragamba Dam – Sydney's largest water reservoir – was approaching full capacity and would likely spill by Thursday morning, raising fears of downstream flooding similar to past flood events in western Sydney. In a statement, WaterNSW said the expected overflow would be 'moderate', with a peak spill rate of around 60 gigalitres a day, though the exact volume would depend on how much more rain fell across the catchment today. Power outages have affected around 30,000 homes and businesses, with Endeavour Energy reporting about 400 electrical hazards caused by fallen trees and powerlines. While crews restored power to most areas through the day, nearly 9,000 customers remained in the dark. 'We hope to get over 80 per cent of those customers that are currently affected back on tonight,' David Campbell, general manager of safety and operations at Endeavour Energy, told ABC. 'There will be some customers unfortunately that will be without power tonight, we will get all of them back on tomorrow.' Transport chaos has deepened with 140 flights cancelled at the Sydney airport, following 145 cancellations on Tuesday. Major rail lines have been suspended by fallen trees and power failures, and ferry services across Sydney Harbour have faced widespread disruptions. Roads across Greater Sydney and the Illawarra remain littered with debris, with 20 closures reported at the peak of the storm. Emergency services have responded to nearly 3,400 incidents since the wild weather began, including 10 flood rescues. NSW SES deputy commissioner Debbie Platz said the storm's southern flank was the current area of greatest concern, particularly around Sussex Inlet, Burrill Lake and Shoalhaven, with conditions expected to worsen into Thursday. Experts say repeated flooding events are becoming more frequent and more psychologically and financially damaging in Australia. 'Any experience of flooding can have harmful psychological impacts but we know it's even worse when people go through multiple events, especially back to back like we're starting to see more often,' Dr Lauren Vinnell of Massey University said. Climate experts point to unusually warm ocean waters off Australia's east coast as a key driver of this storm's intensity. Dr Martin Jucker of UNSW said: 'The very high water temperatures off the eastern Australian coast would help such systems become intense by providing the necessary moisture from the warm ocean surface.' While some people have referred to the storm as a ' bomb cyclone ' – a term used internationally when a low-pressure system deepens rapidly – Australia's Bureau of Meteorology has avoided using it. Senior meteorologist Jonathan How told Nine's Today programme that they did not really use the term much. 'We just talk about a low pressure system deepening very quickly because 'bomb' can sort of create a little bit more panic,' he explained, adding that this made it 'a little bit more scary than what it actually is'. A significant fall in pressure of 20 to 30 hectopascals over the past two days has transformed the coastal low into a severe storm but the bureau has instead described it as a 'vigorous coastal low'. The Bureau of Meteorology forecasts conditions to start easing late Thursday as the storm moves east into the Tasman Sea, but people across NSW's south coast and inland catchments are being urged to stay alert for flash flooding, falling trees and continued power outages.
