Often wondered why people go by what met says. Can't they only record the temp exactly where their sensors are?

Because people's own personal reports are often inaccurate, sometimes wildly so.

Orange Alert! Orange Alert!

Met Eireann says there will be no let up in the searing temperatures over the coming days – in fact, it is only going to get hotter.

It is expecting to upgrade its heatwave warning to an Orange Alert for the first time ever today as temperatures in parts of the country top 30 degrees. It issued a Yellow Alert earlier this week.

And all this on my week off. I usually manage to miss good weather when I take time off.

Give me dark skies and a heavy drizzle any day.

If I didn't have to go out in it, it would be grand. I could stay in and cool to fcuk down. I walk to work and left in plenty of time so that I could stroll along instead of my usual late power walk and I was dripping in sweat by the time I got to work. That was at 8.

I just avoid the sun as much as possible, get in and out of the heat when I can. Can't wait for october and the last of this ****ing weather./

krudler

nearly had a heart attack when I got in my car yesterday and the temp read 34C, cooled down once I started driving but was still in the high 20's.

People's bodies are different, I hate the humidity, and that's what we get, sh1tty, sticky hot nights. It annoys me when people complain its "freezing" the rest of the year. Roll on October, best time of the year imo.

Anyone care to guess where the hottest place in the country will be?

Mr.Prodston

[Pretentious "Gap Yah" Voice] When I was in Cambodia exploring the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat it was like 40 degrees you know, it was like so hard to believe people had to experience it like everyday. It's so not that bad here. Until you've simply been thrust into that environment you can't like complain about it. [Pretentious "Gap Yah" Voice]

[Standard Irishman Out Of His Depth Voice] Jaysus lads there was some heat that day, we were melting. I didn't know what sweat was until then. And the lads selling water made a fortune, although how they didn't drink their merchandise I'll never know. [Standard Irishman Out Of His Depth Voice]

It's Ireland. It pisses rain for most of the year. Everyone's always depressed. We get a few days of sun and people complain.

Just sit tight and enjoy it while it lasts. You can have your drab, grey depressing weather back soon enough.

I hate when people can't distinguish between two types of people with two opinions.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

It's absolutely ridiculously warm and I'm gonna be delighted when it rains. Not warm rain, proper rain with gale force winds.

This heat is making me feel sick, giving me a headache and just making me want to do nothing but stand in a cold shower until it passes.

Then you have the carrot oil brigade who are out in force "shut up whinging bout the sun", walking around bright red and peeling, and they're absolutely delighted with themselves congratulating each other on their "lovely colour".

I enjoy watching the people who complain about the heat get burned and crisped in the sun, losing half their weight in sweat and gasping for air.

Then why go to holidays in the sun? Sod off to another rainy hole!

Delighted with this heat I hope it lasts for the rest of my holidays ie October :cool:

MarkY91

how can anyone possible complain about this beautiful weather? go to the beach and enjoy your lives :L

This plus a gazillion. I dunno how half of them would make it to 18 in somewhere like Rome or Paris. This is NOT hot. It's warm, it's sunny, but mid 20's isn't hot. And we even have a breeze going on. How anyone can be wishing for grey November days is beyond me TBH.

If work would let me I would :pac:

Being outdoors/ beach/ driving with the windows down/beer garden= sunny weather yay.

In a stuffy office/house/at night when you can't get comfortable= sunny weather booooo.

Miss Lockhart

I think it's quite ironic that the whingers who moan literally all year long about our weather have the audacity to get on their high horse when those who dislike heat moan for a few days every few years.

Plenty of people's health suffers in this weather. Remind me not to give a fu*k when the annual "think of those who suffer in this weather" brigade arrive when a few snowflakes fall in winter. Apparently it's only socially acceptable to suffer in the cold. Spare me.

B0jangles

I posted my tip for a cool night's sleep a while ago, it was:

- Fill a hot water bottle with cold water = cool feet all night.

But it was not really working any more since it has been so very warm, so I've started kicking it up a notch - bottle goes in the bloody freezer for 3 hours

:cool:

I have mild arthritis and the cold damp weather makes me hurt, I still prefer that to suffocating humidity though. Just makes me cranky(er)

How do you know they holiday specifically for the sun?

Seriously, there's more people complaining about people complaining about the sun than there are people complaining about the sun!

People with hayfever, or just people who like cool weather.

18 in Rome would feel far cooler than this. And yes, I've been in Southern Europe in low 20s weather, it's not that warm. Especially as the RH would likely be lower.

If it feels hot to someone, then it's hot to them. We don't get this weather often so a lot of people aren't acclimatised. And the humidity is a huge factor too. And it's approaching 30 degrees today. My cousins who live in New Jersey, where 30 would be regularly hit, consider 30 to be hot.

Not sure why people are having trouble understanding this.

I'm enjoying this weather personally, but so what if people aren't?

The people complaining about the heat aren't necessarily the same people who complain about the cold/wind/rain.

Because were Irish we have this mentality that nothing good ever happens here EVER :pac:. So a bit of sun for a few days and every ****er has to drown in it and anyone who doesn't enjoy it better shut up cause there ruining it for everyone else!!

Personally i like nice sunny weather but i hate ****ing pure heat no air kinda crap theres nothing worse then not being able to go out walking without being covered in sweat.

loveisdivine

I don't dislike the heat, I just dislike having to spend all day in a stuffy office in the heat.

I'd be loving it if I were at the beach or by a pool, or even just relaxing at home.

Lyaiera

Is anyone else planning holliers somewhere in Ireland now? I'm hoping the weather sticks with us and I get a week somewhere nice within the country.

Maybe if it was cheaper..... Im heading to Manchester for couple of days return flights and hotel for two nights 100 euro.

The amount of people scalded in work is shocking. no that's not "a lovely colour" its skin damage bordering on 1st degree burns, you're not a fecking lobster.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

I would never go somewhere on holidays for good weather, as I don't sunbathe and I cant deal with the heat.

I would much rather go somewhere with a good spa and spend a few days chilling out that way and not giving myself skin cancer.

The humidity is awful, heat is nowhere near as bad with a breeze.

Ya the humidity is the main issue with me. How anyone can claim to enjoy walking around covered in sweaty clothes and feeling like crap i dunno....

Good weather is great when you can actually enjoy it ffs.

Dfmnoc

I'd often hear people say its a different kind of heat in other country's

For instance if some one goes on holidays to the likes of Spain and its 40 degrees there they would say it was like having 25 degrees in Ireland.

Is there any truth to this or is it were just not use to it?

Israeli Superiority

The humidity is my only issue, but it's better than the weather we got last July.

We Irish should be jumping at opportunity to get a suntan instead of being a bunch of pastey-skinded uglies.

Yeah, and it won't look good when it browns either, it'll look like a blotchy mess, and your skin will be slightly more aged than before. Yay! \o/

Can't understand people being delighted with sunburn, it's awful! The pain! And it is indeed a burn. People aren't delighted when they burn themselves off the cooker or whatever. Well sunburn is that on a large scale.

Yeah, c'mon sun, work your magic on my skin cells' DNA, make that shít malfunction. Woo!

BraziliaNZ

We're just not used to it, absolutely rubbish, up there with it's too cold to snow

Amirani

Humidity is a very important factor to consider.

I Heart Internet

I'm boiling in an office with no openable window (there is a window in the corridor opposit my (open) door which is open though.

Sweating since 9 o'clock this morning and I've only been sitting at the desk.

Feel like running out of the place.

I'd love this weather ordinarily, but it's hard to be at work in it.
