So Ireland has recorded its hottest temperature in 42 years.
This afternoon the mercury reached 32 degrees Celsius at Shannon airport.

It has not been that hot here since 1976 believe it or not!
Here's how some people have been coping (or not) with the current heatwave:
In this heatwave, spare a thought for all the parents wrestling toddlers several times a day in the battle to get sun cream on them. The slippery little fuckers are too agile for us.

Unprecedented scenes in the Special Criminal Court...barrister just asked if he could take off his gown because of the heat. Judge allowed it. #heatwave

One minute you call around to a friend's house for a BBQ and a few drinks. Next minute you find yourself pulling jeans over your fat arse, grabbing your ID and hitting town!!
And it only Wednesday, come back rain quick. 🙉#Heatwave

Due to the #heatwave this week we have been trying lots of different ways to keep our dogs cool. As watermelon is over 90% water, we decided to try the dogs with some chilled slices and recorded their reactions. As you will see, some were more keen than others! #KeepYourDogCool pic.twitter.com/U9p6GN3Cq4
