Ireland Is Set To Be Hotter Than Lanzarote Today — So Here Are 10 Magical Spots To Enjoy This Glorious Sunshine

In the immortal words of Johnny Nash, it's gonna be a bright, briiight, bright sunshiny day.

Met Éireann has told us we can expect temperatures as high as 23° today, making us hotter than many a summer holiday destination around the world — which means this weekend is one that is not meant to be wasted.

Don't throw away your day binging on Netflix or visiting the same old brunch spot, mix things up a bit and plan an adventure.

Allow us to make things easier for you by suggesting a few of our personal favourites spots, the places we'd probably be going if we weren't working today (not that we're bitter or anything), just to help you get those mental juices flowing...
