Four ways the sun makes Irish people lose the run of themselves

We're enjoying an unexpected spell of sunshine in Ireland at the moment.

In fact, we're currently experiencing the hottest April in 15 years!

Us Irish certainly know how to make the most of the few days of warm weather we’re granted each year.

The mercury only needs to hit 16 degrees and we're heading to the nearest beer garden, and hunting for the BBQ in the garden shed.

However, with warm weather comes questionable behaviour. You can't blame us really, we just lose the run of ourselves!

Here's our top no-nos when it comes to conducting yourself appropriately in the sun.

1. Men parading around shirtless

Lads, it's barely 20 degrees. You'll catch your deaths!

We have no problem with men baring their chests on the beach obviously, but we have to draw the line at lads parading around their towns in just jeans and runners.

No, the girls aren't swooning and you're after giving Mrs Casey the fright of her life when you popped into the shop for a 99.

2. Failing to get your feet sandal-ready

Releasing your scaly winter feet into the harsh light of day before undergoing a pedicure is downright manky.

We understand you want to slip into your new flip flops ASAP, but no one should be subjected to your cracked heels and shabby toenails.

Salon pedicures might not be in your budget but a long soak, a quick rub with a pumice stone and lashings of moisturiser should make your hooves look human again.

3. Giving out about the heat

As a nation, we excel at complaining about the weather but we really need to give it a rest when it comes to the sun.

OK, we're not used to the heat but we can stick it out for the few days. Just stock up on the essentials - a sun hat, a fan, SPF and lots of ice cream.

4. Blaring the tunes

Again, we just can't contain our excitement that the sun is here but subjecting others to your taste in music is just plain rude.

Whether you're in the car, at the beach or in your back garden, keep the tunes at a reasonable volume.

Your neighbour still hasn't recovered from your Despacito onslaught last summer.
