Its too hot/its not hot enough

mike65

Summer is here and while its clearly good news for most of us its not always plain sailing, I just went out to put the mower away and realised it was as warm outside as in. So that'll be an uncomfortable night then....:( Say what you like about cold nights - its a lot easier to stay warm then it is to cool off while trying to get 7 hours when humidly warm.

ahhhhhhhh always complaining about the weather.
Buy a fan or something, I dunno.

I think if people in Ireland were banned from complaining or talking about the weather they'd implode.

The nice weather is brilliant during the day, brings everyones moods up instantly, but my god it is terrible at night if its anyways warm

Close all the windows and leave the fridge door open.

Some do like it hot.

No complaints here.

I wonder do they complain as much about the heat and cold in countries with seasons.

Ihatecuddles-old

I slept in a tent last night and it was like a sauna! Took out my mirror this morning and it actually fogged up. Dont know how I got any sleep!

Yes, they do. Spaniards are notorious for it and justifiably so.

Czechs aren't so bad, though, from what I remember.

EDIT: Btw, was walking home from work at half ten in the south of Spain and it was 28.

biko

Its just right.

Can you set the oven to cold?

YumDeiseMum

No complaints from me. We've had way too long a winter - about 4 years??
Windows open and the dog in just to make sure no-one tries to take advantage.

Ah that's grand weather out there. Fine bit of sunshine that we hardly ever get combined with that heat

I'm standing out naked on my balcony right now having a smoke!








hope the neighbours down underneath don't come out for a smoke and look up, the last crowd moved out a few days later after they thought it was an eclipse they were eyeballing! :pac:

Lived in Arizona for 2 years, listened constantly how they would love to have weather like we have here. The term "perfect" was used many a time by the locals when i described our weather. Granted there is only 2 seasons there, Summer and cool Summer

I prefer winter

confuseddotcom

Detest heat. This weather is driving me mental / demented / bonkers / loo-la / crazy / bananas. I absolutely hate it. Can't stand it. I want rain and wind and would even take snow instead of this heat. I can't breathe.

Although I would agree that sunny weather as such can lift one's spirits and bring about a good mood, I'd prefer being in a bad mood to not being able to breathe right.

It'd nearly drive me to drink and one is supposed to enjoy drinking in this weather. :rolleyes:

Bleedin ten degrees out you whingers.

We humans are programmed to adjust and adapt to all weathers and with recent late springs and autumns becoming early inductions to winter , I for one welcome our long overdue summer .

Voodoomelon

Was out for a run there half an hour ago and the sweat was rolling off me within 5 minutes, no need for a jacket anymore methinks!

Me too. I think I have the opposite of seasonal affective disorder.

Living near a coastal town or city for the sea breeze during hot spells is obviously better than living inland but that goes without saying .

Peregrine

It's not even hot, just pleasantly mild. Fans are quite cheap too you know.

Stand outside in Dubai or some other Arabian gulf country for 10 minutes in July and tell me Ireland was hot. It's bleedin 45 - 50° C there! This is nothing.

TheUsual

Hot ?
Were you born on the Sun ?

Indeed ...

We once experienced a freak heat storm in the Canary Islands which blew in from north Africa and it was so hot and humid , we were sucking in nothing but hot air and it made me realise the difference between Hot in Africa/Arabia and northern Europe .

But if you fall asleep in a room with a fan on you'll die. So they say in Korea anyway.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_death

I should be dead!

Typical Irish whinging, 4 degrees above or below 10 and most are moaning.

All relative I suppose, presently in mid 20's at night, high 30's days and very humid.
Local folks here would be be suffering from hypothermia in the hot weather all are moaning about up there.

jester77

I'm still waiting for the t-shirt weather to start, high teens/low twenties is all we have here at the moment OK for a BBQ but you wouldn't stand out in a t-shirt just yet. The summers here once they start are nice, 28-32 is a nice temperature, just warm enough.

pickarooney

The wind has finally pissed off and it's over twenty but still a long way off hot.

wolfpawnat

Are you kidding me? Coldest X amount of months on record and we get a few days on high teen degrees and people are moaning. Get some sunscreen, wear a t-shirt, leave a window open if you're at home and enjoy! It is glorious and I am not going to complain for one minute!

saintsaltynuts

It was hot alright yesterday.Went for a drive yesterday and there was fanny everywhere wearin' next to nothing.Stick the winter up your hole.

ShadowHearth

It sort of weird not having my hoody on...

cloudatlas

I wonder if people in other countries go on about the weather as much as we do? There is flooding in central Europe, we should be grateful that we get very few extreme weather conditions...

Novella

Seriously? Too hot to sleep? It was 6 degrees when I was coming home from work at 3am this morning! Too hot! What is wrong with people!

Shenshen

I think it's fine at the moment, though I really wouldn't want it to get any warmer, thank you very much.

One of the reasons I came to Ireland was the weather, after all. Winters not too cold, summers not too hot, I quite like that.

Miss Lockhart

People feel comfortable at different temperatures. What's the big deal? It's actually just ridiculous to tell people they're wrong for not feeling comfortable at a certain temp. People talking about how they're perfectly happy sleeping at 40º in Timbuktu or wherever (or at -30º in Vladivostok if the thread happens to be about the cold) really just come across as if they're posturing in a meaningless "do you even lift" sort of way.

I work with a lot of people of different nationalities and I find they moan about the weather as much if not more than we do. Apparently our cold is colder than their frozen snowy winters, our rare hot days are more uncomfortable than their stifling summers.

Personally I hate even our mild summer temps. It aggravates my health and I'm much happier in frosty weather. I hear enough moaning about the cooler temps year round so I don't feel one bit guilty for saying it's too hot.

Well, the people here moaning were, for the most part, born here and given the amazingly small seasonal variation you'd think they'd have gotten used to it. Frankly a lot of Irish people are just the same when talking about food that's ever so slightly different from what they're used to at home.

Not sure what your point is - Irish people moan more? Irish people are inflexible and set in their ways. Another excuse for Irish bashing?

I must ask my international colleagues what's wrong with them - I mean, you think they'd have gotten used to our temperature extremes which are well within the normal range for their native countries. How dare they feel uncomfortable in our temperature range!

People from the continent complain because of the changeable nature of our weather. In the summer in their countries there is some consistency and they can get acclimatized to the new climate but here it's one day on one day off. In winter they have a kind of dry cold, it's also consistent and not the sort of wet and windy cold we have here where you wonder what you should wear, heavy coat or mac, hat and gloves or none at all.

I've just come back from 2 weeks of proper hot weather to what passes for summer in London. Pah!

It can get quite hot and humid in London without any summer breeze .
