I missed this Irish Times letter on Thursday - glad to see someone calling this out.
"Photos of people enjoying the sunshine do not tell the full story
It is surely way past time for presenting heatwaves as benign and welcome opportunities for fun"

@ccferrie@mastodon.ie RTÉ are serious offenders here. Every warning of dangerous heat is illustrated by a library pic of happy kids jumping into the forty foot. It's long past time the public were made aware people die from this heat, people die in a lot of distress. It is not fun for everyone.
