There has never been a hotter day in Dublin than the one we're experiencing right now.
Temperatures soared over the weekend and now appear to be hitting their peak, with Met Eireann confirming that a long-standing record had been smashed in the capital.
While the overall temperature record remains at 33.3C (recorded at Kilkenny Castle in 1887), the weather station in the Phoenix Park recorded a temperature of 33.0C this afternoon.
