So today is officially the hottest day of the year (or potentially the century) and judging by everyones tweets – people just CAN’T COPE with the heat.
From developing a major SULA (Sweaty Upper Lip Alert), to complaining about the heat, one thing is for sure.. and that is, Irish people are NOT made for the sun.
Usually used to wrapping ourselves head-to-toe in scarves, obviously we don’t know what to do with ourselves, so for entertainment purposes – we’ve gathered some of our favourite tweets about todays (violently hot) weather.

This heat was great in America with air conditioning etc.. in Ireland, definitely not. Can’t breathe. Goodbye.

Any tourists in Ireland who packed for a rainy/ cold climate are probably frantically shopping for bikinis etc now. ??

Only in Ireland would one issue a weather warning because the temperature might reach 27 ℃. ?
