Ireland is experiencing its hottest summer since the 1970s.
At a sweltering 27 degrees Celsius (80°F), a housing estate located near Carlow town recorded the top temperature during Ireland's recent heatwave.
According to weather watchdog Met Eireann, it's only going to get hotter this week. In fact, a status orange fire warning is even in place as temperatures could creep up to 30 degrees Celsius this week.
As always - we can rely on the Irish to broadcast their inadvertently hilarious opinions towards the weather on social media.... after all, remember how they reacted to Storm Emma?!

It is very hot 28C in Kildare. Grass short and dying. I know milk is lower in quality because of the grass shortage. Barley dying in the fields. How do you profit from the coming famine?
