IRELAND IS IN the midst of a heatwave at the moment which is sentence that we rarely get to say. Temperatures are set to soar to 28 degrees over the next few days and while this is a great change from the rain, people aren’t really able to cope with it.
#heatwave Irish people are not used to seeing that strange glowing orb in the sky. They are continually ringing up the Guards and telling them about the giant orange Ufo that is making people turn red.

We’re a nation that struggles with change aren’t we?
It so hot that we’re lost for words.
Woman at bus stop on O'Connell Street complaining about the warm weather - "It's not the heat so much.......it's the humility." #heatwave

And we’ve finally had to admit defeat and display our legs to the world.
Due to the #heatwave we are allowed wear shorts to work. If you are worried about missing out on seeing my beautiful legs just dip some spaghetti in tipex.. Basically the same

We’re having to time our chores carefully.
I’m telling you now. The second that big feckin cloud I see in the distance comes my way and blocks out the sun I’m out the gap to the shops like Usain Bolt #heatwave

All we want to do is sleep.
Now I understand why Spain invented the siesta. This weather is fit for naught but sleeping #heatwave

But even that is a struggle.
Lads.

Because there are things with wings EVERYWHERE.
There was a magpie in my room this morning when I woke up. Don't leave your big window open. It's not even worth it. The extra air, it does nothing! #heatwave pic.twitter.com/SGtXSR6F2A

There's lots of flying things cause a the #Heatwave. One of them is going to burrow into my ear and lay eggs.

I just know it. Bastards.
Even looking after ourselves is hard in this heat.

Anyone with hair is struggling.
Spare a thought this week for the huskier, hairy gentleman, designed to withstand wind and rain #heatwave

As are those who like to dress in black.
Spare a thought for (us) Goths these last few and forthcoming weeks. Never has the lack of a summer wardrobe been more real. #dublin #heatwave #gothtilidie

But really we should be enjoying because we don’t get it a lot.
The #heatwave gives Ireland a smell of Abroad.

And try not to be too resentful of those who are off work.
Don’t think I could have planned this maternity leave better ☀️ #heatwave pic.twitter.com/e5Bmqms10v

Dress accordingly.
Soooooo. This #heatwave

Just how casual can we get away with in work?
How acceptable is beachwear in the office? pic.twitter.com/3nQCmbQsw9
And enjoy it BUT LOOK AFTER YOURSELVES!
#heatwave for anybody in Dublin. This is very average today. Only 23 degrees.
