    Read excerpt

    Ireland must stop treating floods, storms, droughts and extreme heat as individual emergencies and begin preparing systematically for a climate of increasingly severe extremes, the Climate Change Advisory Council has warned. It said the country's preparations are failing to keep pace with the growing risks, with 31 of 54 major flood-relief schemes prioritised eight years ago still at preliminary design stage and major schemes taking an average of 11 years to complete.

A study of this year's record-breaking summer concludes that human-caused warming has already made extremely high levels of potential evaporation during July around eight times more likely and about 7% more intense.

A new assessment by the World Meteorological Organization finds that river flows were below normal across more than a third of the world’s river basin area during 2025. It was one of the driest years for global river discharge in the past 35 years and continued a pattern of increasingly a
