Quite funny really. All those pale Irish people, bursting into flames!

First day in Norway with 30°C+ temperatures this year, in the Oslo-region. At least four stations above 30°C, warmest 31.4°C / 88.5°F in Drammen.

And we made it to maybe 14.5°C here....

Dublin has has one single day above 20C this year. One. And the sunshine has been abysmal as always.

Wow who would have thought that, Sweden and Norway reached 30 °C earlier than places much further south.

Doesn't a heatwave usually come via France and Western/Northern Germany to those places?

Might come straight from the Atlantic or Russia.
