As Irish people, we don't tend to see the sun for long, so when it comes out like it has this week, we tend to slip into stereotypes.
Met Eireann has forecast temperatures to soar in the coming days as the country sizzles at a glorious 25 degrees.
And with the heat, you can be sure that someone you know falls into the following categories.

From burnt, blistered bodies to farmers' tans, it is easy to split us into groups as soon as things start to heat up.
Topless
From boys to men, when Irish lads get hot, their tops come off.
You could be walking down the street, and all of a sudden go temporarily blind as you encounter a young lad's bright white torso shining into your eyes.
Bonus points if you see your neighbour sitting on his ride on lawn mower topless, this is a special subcategory.
Farmers tan
This is for those who tend to keep their shirts on in the sunshine.
Not limited to just farmers but most commonly associated with them, think of arms that look like the pink and white Squashies sweets.
Perhaps it's from long hours in a tractor trying to get work done while the weather is warm or something more embarrassing like falling asleep in the sun.
Either way, it's practically guaranteed that you will see someone with two-toned arms in this weather.
Burnt to a crisp
Closely retailed to the farmer's tan but a bit more extreme, there is always at least one person who is red raw post sunshine.
It doesn't matter how many times we have been told about sun protection, us Irish still don't seem to fully grasp the importance of a thick layer of factor 50 and a sunhat.
Expect to see the younger victims of the sun's wrath receiving a hard slap from a 'friend' on the reddest part of their burn.
The dramatic one
Think fans and huffing and puffing.
Perhaps sitting on a deck chair, they're wearing a large straw hat and big pair of sunglasses while dramatically fanning their face with their hand.
They will probably say something like, "oh God, I'm not able for this", or "this heat is oppressive/heavy, isn't it?"
Ironically usually, these people are the first to complain when things start to cool down again.
The daytime drinkers
When the sun shines, bags of cans with the lads are basically a must.
Beer gardens are packed, parks are full, beaches are flooded even along the canal is full of people.
You could hardly blame people, though, after all, it's one of the few times it's appropriate to start drinking at 2pm on a Wednesday.
The water baby
Everyone has that one friend that decides it's time for a swim whenever the sun starts to peek through.
It could be at the beach, maybe the canal or even a paddling pool in their back garden, but they will find their way to water.
If they can't find a large body of water, they will improvise.
Age doesn't matter here, they may settle for a classic water fight, think water guns or freezing cold buckets being dumped over your head.
