The plus vs minus of good weather.
Zero heating costs.
cold showers( as above for free)
Eat less.
Bright evenings (no lighting)
Less traffic( everyone gone to the beach)
Can walk to the shop (not pis*ing)
Hence mor money for things i enjoy ie cheap beer etc.

No negatives imo.

Some people don't like the heat just like some don't like the cold.

The only bad thing about the weather is that my garden is getting a hammering.

Got the souls of my feet burnt all ta fcuk walking on the sand at the beach in Sutton today. Other than that, today was pure paradise.

On average it is 25 or less. If somebody can not tolerate this they must have some medical condition. Given the typical irish person likes 2 weeks in spain i find this hard to believe. Does a typical size 8 prefer sleet and rain and a max of 2 degrees. I dont think so.
Normal service will be resumned in a week. :mad:

See, the problem is I am not at home for extended periods, I returned back last week and a weeping willow is near death. the sun and caterpillars near finished her off. I've been horsing buckets of water at her since and picking caterpillars off.

I have youngish (3-5 years) tress too but they seem to be coping well.

Well it was almost 29 degrees here today. I can't wait for winter, it's been my favourite season since I was a child. I love snow, walks during the frosty mornings and stormy nights. I don't see what is so hard to grasp about people having different preferences.

Yeh, one of my trees actually fell over with the heat!! I never thought to water them and didn't for a second think that could happen

I watered the grass out the front tonight because I noticed it was going yellow, I've never had to do that before.

The *only* bad thing I've found about this weather is my work dress, it's a touch too warm - however, I'm not complaining, just stating a fact

Are you sure you weren't practising your nakedness for next years Santa Strike force in front of the tree and made it fall over with all the excitement :):cool:

I love the snow too. Not trying to start a fight. Just when the good weather arrives make the most of it. Get out and enjoy it. Like the snow , put on a few layers and go for a hike. When the sun arrives dress for the season (sun block and plenty of water). Enjoy the changes in the seasons.:D and the extremes.

I wonder why I haven't seen a single ladybird (insect not human) this summer.
I always thought they were associated with hot summers?

Ohh I have enjoyed to the best of my ability . Trips to the beach, BBQs, all the ice cream I can eat :P. It's just a little too hot for me personally. My 6 year old loves it though, glad the kids got some decent weather for their summer holidays.

Yeah the kids are loving it down my way here in wicklow.
All out on there bikes etc. Asked a 5 year old the other day had he got his sun bloke on , said "he had". Defo the first good summer they have had.:D

Some of ye are certainly islanders. Having lived in mainland Europe for sometime this is the kind of weather I now consider mild But for real. You get used to anything. It's all relative. This is not hot weather really. It's bordering on that, sure. But it's not really. Our bodies oversweat because they are like...what is...this...thing...heat?

All very well say that, but everyones situation is different, it's doubtful you are carrying a disabled person around, or looking after an elderly relative who is bedbound. It is great weather for people who have not much to do all day, and that is exactly why it is nice when we go to Spain...because we are on holiday.... but for those who are constantly on the go or in work conditions it can be very oppressive.


I again find the Irish attitude to this weather odd, for some reason we have to be seen to like it, anyone who does complain is seen as a grump, even the rte weather forecasters do their "oppressive for some" crap....whereas in the UK there is huge danger warnings over the past week about heat related stress with now over 760 people dead and warnings about requiring extra vigilance for the safety of animals and elderly etc. ....but shure its all ok here if we beat that record 33*C!

I would dare to say the majority of islands in the world are in hot climates.

What's you point?

I'm carrying some extra timber but I can handle it no problem.

It can be hard to deal with it if you haven't had a good nights sleep though.

Just back home from work. Out on the balcony in a t-shirt, having a beer. A beautiful sky with a big ol' moon, and still warm. I am loving this weather.

Even the waters too warm to drink out the tap, its all humid. I have to put it in the fridge and wait for it to cool down. And this ****ing sun is burning as well, and the heat is making me sweat, which means I have to take 2 showers a day. **** you sun :mad:

Renegade Mechanic

Im getting tired of four broken hour sleeps. If I cant get enough water for work in this heat, should,tge "shortages" come, I just wont be going.

Mrs Garth Brooks

Even my cat loves this weather. He doesnt come home much, whatever he does all day.

Thanks for putting him up. Give him the boot home.

Mrs Garth Brooks

I have heard people comparing this summer to 1995, which was 18 years ago.

Is this it until 2031 ?

Katunga

had to start using a mouse on my laptop because my hands are too sweaty to work the touch pad .

cloud493

Buses are terrible in this heat as well. Specially with the spanish students ****ing everywhere.

Porkpie

The only reason I don't like the heat is that I sweat bucket loads (heavy sweater by nature ). And I can't get a decent night's sleep. Anything above 20c is too hot for me.

I'm melting! I'm melting! Oh what a world! :pac:

I was like this until I start self medicating. A shot of whiskey 1-2 hours before I go to bed is enough to knock this lightweight out.

Irish houses were built to keep the heat inside and not keep it outside, which is a major factor people forget about. I have friends from Turkey, Brazil, Argentina and Portugal who are suffering at the moment due to lack of sleep.

MadYaker

If you don't let the light in your house will stay fairly cool. My room has been in total darkness for about 3 weeks and its nice and cool at night.

Femme_Fatale

My apartment is like a greenhouse by now, even though I've been keeping the blinds closed. It kept the place cool for a while, but alas, it doesn't work now; heat is retained.

It's the f'ucking business for drying clothes though! :pac:
