Worst summer ever

Sappa

I can't for my 31 years remember a ****tier summer than we have just had.
Depressing weather not 3 good days in a row and a major let down.

Someone mentioned to me this week that their kids were going back to school and I just thought "that's a crappy summer over"

It's bad enough I have to hear this crap of people I work with, now I have to hear it here too

Bring back on-thread flirting to lighten this place up a bit!!!!

Smash for president!!!!

True, some of the old farmers (in their 80s) round here have said this is the worst they ever remember!
Yesterday some places in the UK broke records for the coldest August morning ever (well since records began, I'm sure there colder ones during the Ice age).

TBH I can't remember one good Summer since 2006!

I started running this year, and I found it easy because I didn't have to endure high temperatures during races - it was always cool, windy or raining buckets much to my delight

Summer's over? Well I had my fun and that's all that matter.

I live abroad but visited Ireland for 1 week over the summer. 5 of the 7 days were great. 3 of them spectacular! Must have gotten lucky

Mr. Manager

Quit moaning. It's Ireland - it rains about 87% of the year.

Move country if it bothers you that much.

In before someone blames that on the Brits.

You have a very short memory, OP, the summers of '07 and '08 were much, much worse with torrential rain for days without a break.

Weather is weather and there is no such thing as bad weather in Ireland, just bad clothing.

OnTheCouch

2007 was far worse than this year, there was something ridiculous like 58 consecutive days of rain back then.

df1985

today would be classed as a cracker in comparison to how ****e the rest of the summer was, only about 20 degrees.

All around us unfortunately and in the wrong places like the poles North America and Africa.

They renamed it to climate change because global warming was a myth.

Sh1te weather is just a state of mind...















Greetings from sunny warm Madrid.

I had a cracking summer - 5 weeks of perfect weather in France and the rest in Scotland where it's been very decent. Suckers!

Cassidy28

I had great weather all summer, i cant wait for the cooler nights and bleaker days.

NegativeCreep

It's not the weather that makes a summer it's what you do during it that's important! This has been my favourite summer ever and its been warm, just not sunny at all really.

No, they renamed it climate change because people didn't get the 'global' part of global warming, instead questioning how there could be global warming if it was cold in Ireland today.

Colmustard

People
As vast as the Irish empire is Ireland is not the globe. Get a passport and you will find this out.

Global warming is a real phenomena the controversy lies in what is causing it.

September as usual looks like delivering the goods. No Atlantic weather for the next week by the looks of things.

I didn't say you had to move to the Mediterranean... you could always go to the north of France.

I really wonder if people have ever been abroad and experienced anything over 28 degrees.

Today is pleasant is it's not raining but it is by no means 'roasting'.

Global warming relates to the average temperature of the planet and does not account for local weather.

Some would argue that wetter summers are caused by global warming.

Either way global warming is real.

I remember the summer of 1981 was as bad. So bad in fact, that when a heatwave finally arrived on Thursday August 27th, and was predicted to last a fortnight, the Government allowed the schools to remain closed for an extra 2 weeks, extending the summer holidays.

School was supposed to resume on Tuesday Sept 1st, and did not resume until Tuesday Sept 15th.
This is not a wind up, I remember it very well, I was going into 3rd year in secondary school at the time.

You sure that was 1981 ?

I remember a 2 week long teachers strike when I was in secondary, but don't think it was Sept 1981.
If I'm not mistaken, I think I have an old newspaper from the time relating to this. It will be among a ton of similar newspapers and stuff, from significant and quirky events that I collect, but I'll see if I can dig it out.
