I'm not looking forward to having to wear full length trousers again. It's been about 2 and a half weeks since I wore anything that was longer than midway to my knee and it's always a really weird feeling to wear anything longer than that again.

It's not even that warm!

Daniel7740

Was 30 degrees here Friday and Saturday. You can't not call that 'warm'

Im just back from holidays and it was at least 35' every day, that was warm but even then it was manageable.

In fairness, it's just after cooling down today and Dublin was relatively less hotter than the midlands and the West.

Highest recorded temperature was something like 32° C on Friday somewhere. The humidity was 70-85% for the past 2 weeks :eek: It's not the heat that's bad, it's the humidity.


Still..hot, but not that hot tbh

bluejay14

I love cold weather and the beaming sun but it's the inbetween-y weather I hate.

Daniel7740

If you compare it to our typical Irish summers its like we're living on the sun! Haha

But yeah, it's the humidity that kills me. But Friday and Saturday it was just hot.

It is hot by Irish standards, it's a heat wave and now technically it's drought conditions

Corvo Attano

For a people that have adapted to rain an wind where 15 is warm and a good day 30 is positivly lethal. We arnt built for this.

decisions

So I assume this is bad for farmers? Do they need some rain?

And +1 on that bluejay

decisions

Donegal :pac:

What the hell happened to them?

Corvo Attano

As far as farming goes it pratically hasnt stopped raining for a year and a half so this is wonderful for growth. In the hour it was mist needed too

It's not bad for farmers yet, the sunshine is good for them now but if there's no water then they're screwed. Water levels everywhere were getting low, water restrictions will start this week if it doesn't rain.

But it's predicted to rain tonight, tomorrow and most of next week so it should be alright.

+1 on the rainy, cloudy and depressing ****e in between good summers and winters

decisions

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to adapt to the water falling out of the sky thing again. It's going to get fierce depressing.

decisions

Donegal 4 scores and 10 wides :eek:

Daniel7740

Some farmers are struggling, grass is burning, no growth, already having to start feeding bales that were made earlier in the year which could lead to another fodder crisis in the winter also some are feeding meal which is driving up costs. Other farmers are needing this big time and is suiting there land. We have fields that are fairly high up and there seems to be a heavy due or something so there is good grass cover up there, and our low lyeing fields are being burnt from the sun and little or no growth. Other places with heavy ground needed this weather badly and id say tillage farmers couldnt be happier with the weather atm. but I think every one agrees its a hell of alot better than last year.

Corvo Attano

Its good for the north but bad for the south I suppose. Our fields hold more water than a sponge. And we get lower temperatures. Our highest was 28-29 but rarely 30

And Donegal are playing awfully bad. Cavan and Monaghan came down to a late point by Monaghan. .

Ahh lads one of the single most annoying things Ive heard these weeks is "You shouldnt be complaining about the weather" Ehhh excuse me but why not? Why should I have to listen to everyone else whinge and moan about it bring freezing when its clearly not unbearably cold out but when I say im too hot be attacked? I dont get this whole its too cold business either. A couple of games I went to in March this year I wore 6 layers and 2 pairs of gloves, not ideal but then I wasnt cold and neither should anyone else have been if they followed suit. Now if im uncomfortably hot in my shorts and vest top wheres the opportinities to peel my skin off in attempt to cool down?
Sorry for the rant but urghhhh this is really pissing me off the last few days, like it was already said 16 degrees is plenty hot for me and I havnt much interest on it being hotter than that

Peregrine

Poor bastard, not even a single post on him before he got banned :pac:

Daniel7740

I'm not complaining about the heat at all, nor do I complain about the cold, what annoys me is when the weather doesn't match the seasons. Like this year it was the middle of April and there was snow falling. I like the weather to match the seasons

I still count a layer.

But seriously I dont complain about the cold and the heat unless I have reason.
The cold dosent bother me really since its colder up here and the heat is too rare to complain about.

I don't get what is there to complain about the weather. Yeah it rains alot in Ireland but you should be used to it if you're born here. Foreigners don't apply to this. Hot weather is something everyone should enjoy. Every summer, people cry for a nice holiday in the sun in Spain, France or Italy where the temperatures are 30-plus everyday except in Northern France. Those countries are hotter than Ireland and people pay money to go over there for a bit of sun. Be glad, you've saved a nice bundle of cash.

And when it's not raining, it's just gloomy..hate muddy grass and wet pavements and clouds, fecking hate them too :mad:

I understand that but at least cheer up! Sun is certainly better than rain all year!
