So the heatwave continues. The forecast for Maynooth today has temperatures exceeding 30°C, and higher in the South. This kind of heat is very unusual for Ireland; the highest temperature ever recorded on the island is 33.3 °C, in Kilkenny, way back in 1887. That record may well be broken today… It’s worth also repeating the fact I mentioned a few days ago on the Solstice, that this evening we will have the latest sunset of 2026, at 9:59:38 pm. Yesterday afternoon we had a Staff Barbecue, which was held in nice – but not quite so hot – weather. It was very well attended and a pleasant occasion all round with plentiful burgers, hotdogs and booze. I must say it was very generous of the President to pay for all that out of her own pocket.
