"Daytime temperatures will widely reach the mid to high twenties. Remaining uncomfortably warm overnight too."
Eviction notices
The number of eviction notices issued to renters increased by 58 per cent in the first half of the year, compared with the final six months of 2021.
According to figures from the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB), almost 3,000 notices to quit were issued between January and the end of June.
Most landlords are exiting the market because they want to sell their property, according to RTB analysis.
Wind energy
Wind energy has provided 34 per cent of Ireland’s energy so far this year, on the back of record figures in recent months, a new report shows.
The latest figures from Wind Energy Ireland found it accounted for 21 per cent of all of the country’s power last month.
July saw a two-fold increase in demand met by wind, compared with the same period last year.
