People Are Reacting To The Heatwave In The Most Irish Of Ways

It's the hottest day of the year and, funnily enough, it hasn't gone unnoticed. Not only are we sweating our lives away, Irish people up and down the country are literally in bits from sunburn, dehydration and general fashion faux pas. So much so, we're trending on Twitter. Let the cringe begin:

1. At 24 degrees Irish Rail decided to hand out bottles of water to its customer travelling to work. Queue the slags:

5. The question of genetics has already been brought up

I'm genuinely interested how many Irish people actually like this level of heat? Like deep down. We're Celts like. This is a form of torture to me! #heatwave

6. In reference to point number 5, we must always do whatever the sheep gods are doing

7. Those water charges aren't looking like such a bad thing now, are they?

8. Whatever the weather, we're always prepared

I think that it says something about my Irish identity that even with Met Eireann weather warnings for the heat all this week, I still brought an umbrella with me today, just in case... #heatwave
