Ah lets take Stockholm shall we, the wonderful 6 months of snow that everyone craves(why i don't know)

Stop using the weather as a mask for your boring personality and because you're too lazy to do anything else.

+1 especially when you conisder an inch of snow brings this country to a standstill ffs.

I like the Irish weather generally. Like other posters have said I think our temperate climate is much better than extremes (either way)
I've travelled quite a lot and always think - the hot weather is great for a holiday but not when you have to function day to day for work.
And 6 months of snow is a ridiculous thing to want. As earlier poster said the place would come to a regular standstill - as if we already need that in Dublin :rolleyes:

That all said though the current weather annoys me big time - wish it was rainy or sunny, not the swings and round a abouts it is at the moment.... :mad:

See the thing is its great I think. Its not always great during the day but then at the evening its very pleasent. I was in town last night after the match and seen black guys walking around in t-shirts and shorts, I think if they are able to wear that sort of clothing in this weather a white Irish person definetly should be.

Black absorbs more heat than white does. Solar panels are black for that reason.

So much for the forecasters prediction that the summer would'nt be as rainy as previous years.Probably just spin so the tourists would'nt be put off coming here!

its july.


Ever notice that we tend to get decent weather in augest and september and the start of october, then it go's cold.....

yeah and its doesnt get warm again until April or May 7 months of short days and cold damp weather would depress ya!

I think when its around 5c and the rain is damn cold it would be better to be -5 and snowing at least you could stay dry !!

But some people hate hot weather and I suppose Ireland is great for those type of people. Me on the other hand is hoping for global warming to turn us into some sort of tropical paradise oh to dream

tourists dont or shouldnt come here for the weather. i would assume anyone who comes here during the summer would know beforehand that july is our wettest month and that summer temps are mild.

I like weather like they get in the South of Spain but for the love of god we knew we aren't going to get that here, i just hate people making exuses for being boring individuals.

So basically anyone disagreeing with me is saying: I am wrong, constant perpetual rain is not a pain in the hole?
I'm loving these arguments, but all I'm hearing is "Ah, sure it's not so bad." None of yis are named Brian Cowen by any chance?

FFS people, we live in a sh!t climate. What's there to fight here? I actually thought this thread would die due to its obviousness. I just wanted a bit of a rant. But no, there's still the "you DARE insult Ireland" crowd. You go, girls, knock your pale asses out :rolleyes:

Rain > Hayfever > Night with Mary Hearney
That is all.

Why not post in the Ranting and Raving forum so? We would be obliged to join in your whinge or ignore it. As for constant perpetual rain? Waffle. I was working on a roof in a T-shirt in february for 3 weeks and didnt see a drop.

That grass is always greener where it rains all the fcuking time!! And bad as Ireland in general is, it has nothing on Kerry, it has rained pretty much every day this summer:eek: There is way less rain in Cork I've discovered since I started going to college there...

while ireland has always been a wet country , due to climate change , we have seen a significant increase in the levels of rainfall in the past decade

If it never rained again, our crops could fail and then Westlife, U2 and Twink would have to do a charity record.

Embrace the rain.

Oh, and that major summer was 14 years ago (1995), wasn't it?

the legendary summer of 1995 but 2006 was a very good summer too , on average we only get a great summer about every 7 years although its becoming less often this last few years , this decade is far wetter than the last one
