Ladies, it’s an absolute SCORCHER out today.
Irish weather is so unbelievably unpredictable so when we do get a bit of sun, we either lap it up and sunbathe or struggle through it and sweat it out until it’s over.
Today’s weather has been deemed the hottest of the year and considering us Irish are mostly used to dull, grey skies with rain looking more than likely, the heat outside has divided people in a serious way.
Temperatures around the country have reached 27, 28 and in some areas 30 degrees and people are taking to Twitter to express their pain and joy in their own dry, hilarious way.
Those unhappy with heat didn’t hold back expressing their discomfort at sweating the day away.
hate to complain about the heat but my nipples are sliding down my chest

Guys, I can’t do this. My veins are lit about to rupture bc the heat has expanded the volume of my blood so much. I may faint dead away.

I am hiding from the heat. Actually hiding from it. This is what it must be like to live on the sun.
