I'd give anything to be in Ireland's "heat wave" right now.

Met Éireann has said that Ireland could experience its second highest ever temperature before the week is over.

The highest temperature in Ireland today was recorded at Shannon Airport, which stood at 29.3C.

The highest temperature ever recorded in Ireland was 33.3C in Kilkenny in 1887.

So, 29.3C = 84.7F and that’s a heat wave?
