Northern Ireland was totally feeling the heat this week, with everyone and their granny heading outside to soak up some of that sweet spring sunshine. The beaches were packed, the parks were buzzing, and even the city centers were alive with the sound of people having a grand old time. Families and friends all over the place were making the most of the unexpected warm weather, with temperatures soaring past the 20-degree mark in Belfast.
The bars and beer gardens in Belfast were absolutely hopping, with folks enjoying a pint or two (or three, who’s counting?) as they basked in the glorious sunshine. Belfast Live’s very own Justin Kernoghan was on hand to capture all the action, snapping pics of happy punters chilling out with their drinks, looking like they didn’t have a care in the world. The weekend vibe kicked in early, with locals flocking to spots like Kelly’s Cellars, the Dirty Onion, and Common Market to enjoy a bit of that outdoor drinking life. Check out this week’s social snaps to see if you can spot yourself or anyone you know, and maybe relive a little slice of that Thursday fun in the city.
It’s not really clear why this is such a big deal, but the fact that Northern Ireland is actually getting some decent weather for once seems to have everyone in a bit of a tizzy. Who knew the sun could have such a dramatic effect on people? Anyway, the scenes in Belfast this week were something else, with folks from all walks of life coming together to enjoy a bit of sunshine and good company. Whether you were chilling on the beach, having a picnic in the park, or sipping a cold one in a beer garden, there was a real sense of community spirit in the air. Let’s hope this weather sticks around for a bit longer so we can all keep living our best lives in the great outdoors.
