‘In 14 years I’ve never seen a 30 on a chart’: Ireland loses the run of itself
It's official: the nation is basking in glorious sunshine the likes of which have not been seen in a decade-and-a-half.
And for a country that digs out sandals and shorts as soon as the thermostat reaches 18C, we reckon the Emerald Isle will positively lose the run of itself tomorrow.

That's because – as now confirmed by RTÉ's Joanna Donnelly – things are about to get yer-on-yer-hollliers-in-Spain hot.
Taking to Twitter, the meteorologist said today: "In 14 years I've never seen a 30 on a chart."
Also including a snap of a roasting-looking Ireland: "We're going to 28 tomorrow," referring to Met Éireann's Dublin HQ.

It's a tweet that has proven immensely popular – notching up some 625 retweets and 470 likes.
Furthermore, Joanna's twitter handle has been flooded with snaps of car dashboards already displaying the magic 30C+ symbol.
Understandably, the hashtag #heatwave is already trending strongly in Ireland.
