Bloody heat is a nuisance, it's wrecking the adhesive on my blister patches and they won't stay on my heels. I even tried cutting the sticky bits of plasters and using them to hold the edges of the blister patches on but the adhesive on those is affected too:mad:

I think I've adapted to it now. Hopefully it doesn't change back to being **** again.

When did ice creams become so expensive? I bought two 99's in a local shop today and it cost 4 euro, Jaysus it makes me wonder where the money is coming from to sustain the 3 ice cream vans that are in this town on a daily basis

Instead of ice cream, I've been eating frozen berries by the pound. Although I wouldn't recommend it if you don't already have Hepatitis A.

Would somebody please think of the tourists, :eek:
Coming here expecting soft Irish drizzle and refreshing gales.

If they had known it was going to be like this they could have stayed at home.

So if you see some poor miserable tourist struggling to find respite from this incessant moaning roasting please throw some water over them (while we still have some), and reassure them what it will be like next time they return.

It looks like tuesday onward will see rain in many parts and probably thunderstorms developing in some areas but very humid with the cloud-cover..

Time to say goodbye, not easy, but it is time..... until august.

Shove a calippo up your arse before getting in to bed. You'll be set for a good nights sleep then.

Noooo

Thats even worse, hot and wet with the rain

Has anyone noticed the humidity has vanished in the east as in swords co. Dublin in the last hour ?. It was one minute sweltering and then it was like the humidity was pushed away ?.

It would normally be still sticky heat or sultry but a weather system definitely pushed the humidity away from this area.

Hasn't been humid for a couple of days now in the east. I'm only up the road in Ashbourne and I've had no problem sleeping for the past few nights.

I do sweat when I'm sunbathing, but that just pure heat. Oh, by the way, the easterly winds picked up a good bit at around 3 o'clock and that took the edge off the temperatures. It was about 25*C/26*C at 1 o'clock or 2 o'clock, but come 3 or 4 o'clock it was back down to 23*C.

I see. I just thought it was strange how the humidity levels changed so fast as i was in-doors most of the day and it was a bit humid but in the last hour or two it just changed to very cool.

I definitely felt a huge drop in the bit of humidity here.

What a glorious evening.

I'll take another month of this please.

Nature is very generous to the island of Ireland, so it will give us a cooling off period with some rain for the plants and then the hot and sunny weather will appear again. What a generous Azores high pressure system this is, very generous indeed, it understands all of our needs. Astonishing.

Agreed, not as intolerable at all. Sleeping with windows wide open is just asking for trouble.

A lovely, cool 16 degrees here in Cork with a refreshing light drizzle to remind us where we are. This is Ireland as it should be in late July. In years to come, the last 3 weeks will be remembered as the equivalent of the Celtic Tiger: we temporarily lost the run of ourselves and pretended to be something we are not: friendly, happy sun-lovers, frolicking and picnicking etc.

Relax, we can stop pretending now, people! It's all over, get back to work.

mad turnip

The current temperature in work is 19 degrees (small office room) and anyone walking in here thinks its like a fridge.

Miserable Corkonian three degrees left.

Outkast_IRE

This isn't back to normal its hovering between 18 and 19 degrees in cork and has been 99% or 100% humidity since the early hours, this is horrible

phasers

It's sunny and 25 degrees here, maybe it's only drizzling on the miserable people.

Cee-Jay-Cee

Hazy sunshine and a balmy 26 here in letterkenny.

First things first: Cork ALWAYS takes a capital letter - the real capital letter, you might say.

The weather is not horrible today. It is not hot or even warm. It is not humid. It is cool and refreshing. You can walk around without sweating. You don't need sunglasses. You can do outdoor jobs in comfort. I would call it perfect.

32c here in the south of England. It's stifling indoors. I'd go outside, but I'm stuck to the chair. Besides, with my Irish skin I'd fry.

22*C and 95% Humidity in the midlands, heavy dark clouds, it's dull, heavy and stuffy, like mini muggy Louisiana, it's shiite, ....far from perfect, .... if it was 19*C and 40% Humidity with clear skies, then it would be perfect!

BluesBerry

Its very humid with dark skies here in the east . Today is the first time I sweated walking across the carpark even in the highest heat I didnt sweat ,its very very humid it feels like a thunderstorm is on the way

Morag

I never tought I would think that 21C was a cooler day
Fcking hate the hot weather, I don't go on Sun holidays, I never tan.
Can't wait until we are back to 12C at night so I can sleep.

How can you say its not humid, weather stations are literally showing 99%-100% humidity all day, that is the actual definition of humid.

Going by the darkened skies this evening and the warmth of it, we might be needing this song tonight :)

How Soon Is Now

Jaysus that weather out there is ****ing ****e!!.

If this is gonna be what its like next few days ffs bring back the proper sun :pac:

Went for a walk after dinner and was like someone just had a hair dryer on the hot setting blowing in my face the whole time.

Can never just be straightforward can it ?? :P

Ted_YNWA

No matter what the weather is like, somebody will compain.

It's too hot ..... It's too cold ..... It's too dry ..... It's too rainy ..... It's too windy.

Should know by now Irish people love to complain about the weather.

You can't please all of the people all of the time. You can only please some of the people some of the time.

I'm looking forward to a good thunderstorm because:

a) They're class
b) It'll freshen things up a bit

Went out for a local pint at 10pm in a t-shirt. Another wee pleasure this weather has brought.

recylingbin

will it ever happen again or are we destined to be farmer tanned for the rest of our lives?
I, personally, can't f*cking stand this heat.
Not because it affects me, mind you, but because irish women have decided that it's fake tan extravaganza in the middle of a hetwave.
\the f*cking state of them isonly surpassed by the smell of them.

It was spitting here in tallaght sunday night for about an hour. the MET predicts some rain tomorrow.
