Lovely and warm........

Breakfast in the garden, followed by a bit of grass cutting, come in for a coffee & catch up on sports news, back out to sling shoot the fluck out of the magpies that **** on my decking, read my book and catch the rays, get the BBQ ready for the dinner, beers watching the sunset.

If you don't enjoy this weather, you're doing it wrong

Can't believe what some people are wearing. I saw a man today in a wooly hat and a heavy black parka zipped right up
Also fools who insist on wearing hoodies all year round- get a clue, it's a heatwave.

walking the dog this evening I saw smoke coming out of a chimney....... weird.
I wouldn't like to think what goes on in that house!

Sounds like that Tom Hanks film where the neighbours were buring up dead bodies.
Break in and investigate Elmer :pac:

anyone else out there with a sore throat/cold/sniffles

YES !!!

I NEVER get sick. I haven't had a cold/cough/flu/sore throat in over 25 years. But this hot weather has my bodies metabolism very, very confused. While everyone else is gagging for cold beers and iced water, I am going thru packets of Lemsip & Strepsils like they are going out of fashion. I asked for a hot whiskey in a pub yesterday, and I got a very funny WTF look from the bar man for my trouble ! :rolleyes:

Super-Rush

I've had all my bedroom windows open for 2 weeks.

Room does be about 8 degrees most nights as we have been getting a steady breeze nearly every night.

MadYaker

I have blackout blinds in my room and I haven't opened them in 2 weeks. Keeps the room fairly cool when theres no light getting in.

Drove from Dundalk today to a garage up north, was a decent 22.5°C when I left. Stepped out of the car (had aircon on all the way) in Portadown onto the garage forecourt and it took my breath away, was 29.5°C. The chaps in parts were sweatin'.

People need to get out and enjoy this very rare phenomenon. I think you might see 4/5 in a lifetime in this country.

Stfu you bunch of miserable, whining, curmudgeonly indolents.

I already lived 4/5 excellent spells of weather in this country in my 29 years, at least. Don't be so dramatic.

Why do you care so much that some people don't like this weather?

You haven't experienced this prolonged settled 3 weeks, and heading for a fourth, of wall to wall glorious sunshine and zero rain 3/4 times before. Not possible.

A kiwi asked myself and an older gent if we remembered such weather in the past. Before I could answer the older gent deadpanned 'yes, 1956'.

Reiketsu

I hate this. Bring on the stormy autumn nights and then the snow

JamboMac

I always remember the weather being good in the summer, it's ever since they promised this global warming thing that it went bad and I'm 28.

I don't anybody minds the heat as much as the humidity.

1989 (this was longer than three weeks)
1995 (Two months, three months actually as there was an Indian summer)
April 2007 (An amazing month, sunny and warm for three quarters of it, look it up)
Two fantastics weeks in 2006
2013 (Two weeks and counting - this spell will head into its third week this weekend, not fourth. Early June was lovely but was actually quite cool in a lot of the country. And it hasn't been wall to wall sunshine for three weeks.)

As well as a fair few great one week spells, and a few scorching 3/4 days spells also, including a five day period last summer at the end of May where, in my location, the top tempurature was 28 degrees one of those days. (I have the official stats for that, but not giving away my location). I also think there might be other 80s spells. Ooh, and summer 1990 was also great.

So, that fair bit of excellent weather in my lifetime. People just think this weather never happened before because we've had six terrible summers in a row. But those 6 summers were exceptionally bad. They were out of the ordinary.

I'm reasonably confident I'll see in the double figures more great spells before I croak it, if I make it that far.

I was out of the country for the start of this spell, but it pissed rain all day on July 2nd, was dull and cool in the days preceeding that and was fairly cool and overcast last Monday and Tuesday - I've no idea what you're talking about tbh.

That heat is bringing on fruity hallucinations.;)

Good summers seem to happen approximately every 7 years. 2003 was good, 1995 was exceptional. Had at least 3 months in the UK with NO rain, 30degrees many days, allowed to work in shorts.

According to records, gent meant 1955. Was that Kiwi named Ken ring?

My point. Good summers v. excellent near record breaking summers. This is a vintage year which will be remembered along with 95 and 76.

95 is 18 years ago. '76 19 years before that. And excuse my mistake, '55 21 years before that again.

Talk of a fine week here and a lovely few days there is nonsense. I'm talking about weeks of sustained mid to high twenties hitting 30 degrees. With sea temps at 18 -20.

No matter what you say it's a very rare thing indeed.

And 3 months in the UK with no rain has zero relevance to what I'm saying here.

I don't mind it just yet, but I do hope it's not going to be like this for another 2 weeks.

One of the main reasons I emigrated to Ireland in the first place was the weather - no ridiculously hot summers which leave you dizzy with lack of sleep as the most you can get in the heat are 2 or 3 hours around in the early hours when it cools down to just about tolerable. No risk of horrible tans or sunburns. No worries about dehydration and sunstroke whenever you need to do some physical work outside. I had hoped I had left all that behind me.

Just heard Evelyn Cusack on the Ray Darcy Show. Loved the way she got the digs in regarding Ken Ring and mentioned how completely wrong he predicted last years summer.

Corruptedmorals

I'm fed up with it, I don't cope well with heat and neither does my skin (not sunburn, I use suncream..but rashes and hives). It's great that the vast majority are enjoying it but I can't help wishing for at least a bit if our traditional Irish summer right about now, sorry!

Without a doubt I am very impressed by the talent on show during this fine weather.
Irish women have taken so much better care of themselves in recent years that they rival all the continental girls parading around our cities and beaches.
We used criticise the women of Ireland but a sudden shift has happened with the last few generations and they are looking stunning in the sun.
Anyone else notice this

Hot weather = less clothes.

I was out for a run yesterday evening and bumped into a really hot woman in a very revealing sports bra, dropped my water bottle, she picks it up for me and i say 'tits' instead of thanks.
:cool:

But yeah the weathers great for having a perv.

It's the radiation from Sellafield.

I'm tired of complaining.........

hellyeah

Give it a week and it will be pis*ing. stop ur moaning people. get out and enjoy it.
We all pay good money for weather like this abroad.

Piliger

What bugs me is the inconsistency of the web sources for accurate temperatures.

It's 10.37 at night now, and Yahoo weather says it's still 24C, while Clear Day weather says it's 18C. Met.ie says it's 19C ...... the heat seems to be affecting a lot more than we think ...

Ilik Urgee

Is it coming to an end? Afraid to look at the weather forecast lest I jink it:o

hellyeah

I dont get this , people moaning about good weather for fu*ks sake.
If it bothers people that much loose some bloody weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or move to iceland.

SolarFlash

I had factor 50 on, a baseball cap and sunglasses and I still got burnt. I'm staying inside until it finally goes.
