Photos: The sun was shining and people were smiling. Can we have weather like this all the time?

Shorts. Check. Sunscreen. Check. Eating dinner outside. Check.

THE SHORTS ARE ON and the sleeveless tops are out. The summer weather must be here. You can’t deny it – Ireland looks pretty great when the sun is shining down on it.

Today saw temperatures rising to 22 degrees Celsius in some areas, putting a smile on a lot of people’s faces.

    K firstly we hit 22 deg for the first time this year I reckon . Secondly those two women pictured in this sub tropical heatwave are wearing cardigans as well as one of them drinking coffee!! Thirdly this poor child who was obviously thrown into a shallow pool for the photo pic, his mother is also dresses for the cold. So heatwave its is not. Normal weather for this time of year, maybe

    I was in the water with a wet suit and gloves. The sun did make a difference but when I got home; I did need to take a long shower to thaw out.
