GOOD GOD IT’S hot out there, perfect for a day in the bog footing turf, drying clothes or just kicking back and relaxing.
In fact, it’s so hot right now in Ireland, Met Éireann have issued a warning that temperatures will exceed 27 degrees Celsius every day this week. That’s every single day – until at least Sunday anyway.
Everyone is out enjoying this well-deserved break from all of the hail, sleet and snow (remember March?), so we asked our readers to send us in pictures of their time in the glorious sunshine.
We’ve been sent dogs in paddling pools, camels on the beach and horses cooling off at the car wash. Yes, we’re serious, check them out for yourselves:
Send your pictures of your time in this magnificent sunshine to tips@thejournal.ie.

I’m on holiday in Marseille, don’t get me wrong it is fab here but there is no place like home when the weather is good :)
Well Dorothy, just close your eyes click those heels on your little red shoes & say ” There’s no place like home”
You have to feel for those in suits for work every day. God that would be torture!
What a week though, bring on the 30 degrees! Wuhoo!! : D
The nights are a holy terror though!
Try sleeping during the day after a night shift.
What the photo of the diving board in Salthill doesn’t show is the hundreds of empty cider cans littering the beach and footpath all along the prom, shameful.
Queue the pics of ice creams being stuffed in people’s mouths!
The first one to moan “its too hot” gets a clip round the ear!!!
I’d stay away from the local pub after seen that sunburn, no 8 so-called friends will smack that back.
That,s one cool Dog!
It’s wonderful.
Camel is the best.
