Ireland enjoyed some gorgeous sunshine over the past couple of weeks as the first heatwave of the year took over.
On Tuesday, thermometers hit 29.9C in Dundalk which was the earliest 29C on record for Ireland. The warm temperatures are expected to stick around for the foreseeable future but sunny skies will be replaced by thunderstorms and rain over the coming days.
Beaches and parks have been jam-packed during the recent good weather, and you might be wondering what your rights are when it comes to taking a day off during the 'mini-heatwave'. The rules can differ depending on whether you are working in an office or from home.
