Temperatures to soar close to 30C over weekend - and public urged to conserve water as 31 areas in 'drought status'
Briefly

Ireland is expected to experience peak temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius this weekend. Met Éireann forecasts 28C temperatures from Friday through Sunday, with a slight cooling to 22-24C after next Tuesday. Uisce Éireann has implemented measures to manage water supply due to increasing pressure across various counties. Public appeal emphasizes the need for small adjustments in daily routines to conserve water. There is concern about potential drought conditions as demand for water increases during this warm and dry spell.
"While the warmer weather is certainly a welcome change, it does place additional demands on our water supplies. That is why we are asking people to join us in making small changes in their own daily routine to help conserve water."
"Uisce Éireann has said measures are in place to manage supply in areas across counties Tipperary, Waterford, Offaly, Cork, Galway, Donegal, Meath, Kilkenny, Westmeath, Laois, Clare and Wexford."
