LAST UPDATE | Jun 29th 2018, 10:35 PM

IT’S OVER 40 years since we’ve had a hotter June day than yesterday, as parts of the country basked in temperatures over 30 degrees.

It’s going to be as hot again today, before temperatures take a slight dip again.

Ireland does look quite good in the sun, and readers all around the country have been sending in some of their finest sun photos all week.
