As a people, we Irish aren't used to the heat. A day here, a weekend there - sure. But not since 1976 have we had to cope with such scorching weather.
The Summer wardrobe is being worn to work, we're running low on suncream and, already, we're beginning to reach peak ice-cream capacity.
Despite these sizzling conditions, the nation has been busy tweeting and keeping themselves entertained. Here are some of the funniest #heatwave tweets so far...

It's getting hot in here
Is anyone asleep or are we all just thrashing around periodically peeling our leg skin apart?

There's an app for that
Wouldn’t it be great if air conditioning was something you could download over the internet for the one week a year that we need it?
