THIS IS A THREAD ABOUT WEATHER. ALLLLLL THE WEATHER. WEATHER WEATHER WEATHER

Well, the aul lads aren't shriveled in from the cold. So...

Happy Days :cool:

I'm pondering taking off in the afternoon and going home to sit out with a box of Corana.

FloatingVoter

An almost-naked woman just walked past my window. No complaints here.... Well, she could do with losing 10 stone but beggars can't be choosers.

I wonder is a lot of it psychological. When you get on a plane and spend a week or two in some furnace of a country, you cope pretty well with it. After a day or two, you expect it so you become acclimatized. Whereas here, people are bitching because its so unusual for Ireland.

Its a welcome change in my book. The winter is plenty long enough.

No don't think so.

I love heat and love this weather, but 38 degrees in Miami is more tolerable then 25 degrees in Ireland

I don't do too well in the heat, I have dark hair which attracts the sun so sunstroke is something I have to be careful with, it can happen before i know it.I am also the whitest person who has ever lived, I am very careful though and never haven't been burnt since I was a child even though I don't wear sunscreen. Despite all that I still enjoy the sun, I'm not one for sunbathing or anything but it cheers me up and makes me lazy. I know as the week goes on I will be grumpier and grumpier though due to the crappy quality of sleep I will be getting, hate trying to sleep when it is too warm.

Was in Toronto for the year last year, hit 41 degrees one day. Air conditioning was broken on the subway. Imagine being stuck in a metal tube with hundreds of other people when it was 41 degrees outside. The sensation of sweat continously dripping down your crack is not one I'd recommend.

Never again will I complain about the "heat" in Ireland.

Well yeh but that doesn't change that it's hot here too, it's just not as ridiculously hot as above.
Would the people who keep saying it's not hot here and go on about their trips abroad which they expect everyone to relate to, say it's not cold here if it were -2 degrees celsius just because it can go down to -20 in Canada? -2 is still cold.

Ah here... Wouldn't Miami be really humid too?

cherryghost

Relative humidity is hovering around 75% at the moment, relatively low for Ireland in this weather. However it's set to jump to over 95% tomorrow onwards so the heat will be that bit more unbearable then (if you consider nice weather like this unbearable.)

Humidity in Miami is a little lower, you'd normally never see it over 80%.

I'm loving it, except I'm back to work today after almost 3 weeks off, I came home for lunch so I could sit out the garden.


Best tan I've had in years

A nice gale force wind now be the right job. Hate this weather.

BeerWolf

Was pretty warm last night, opening the windows didn't help... no wind - and the damn neighbour's cat helped himself in, found it sleeping at the foot of the bed -.-;

Micky Dolenz

It's 21C, that's not heat.

They say the tan you get in Ireland lasts longer than all other tans :pac:

Of course I had to wear a black shirt and black jeans today. I might as well have just wrapped myself up in tin foil.

We don't know how to act around the heat we're that out of practice. Seen a fella picked up by Ambulance yesterday after collasping and he had a wooly jumper and a winter coat on him. :eek: Young enough lad too.

looking_around

I'm so tired of people passing me saying "wonderful weather", "glorious", "great weather we're having" "lovely sun"

To each and everyone one of them, "No, no it's not...bring back the rain!!!!"

If you happen to get the cider shítes, we don't really need to know about that, we just want the good updates...... :P

OldNotWIse

It's ok if you are off work and have a cold beer in your hand and you're not stuck in a stifling city somewhere. Though I do love the post work beer

That said, give me a cold evening where its dark at 5 any day.

If the heat bothers you that much then why don't you go and get yourself an A/C unit?

Getting an a/c unit is not nearly as much fun as getting hammered on cider!!!

MagicMarker

I love this heat when I'm sitting still, with a cold beer and a cool breeze.

Under most other circumstances, I hate it.

Renegade Mechanic

26 in the garage 29 outside. Not cool -_-

Going out to play football later, christ alive I'll be sweating like a 1970's BBC Light Entertainer when the doorbell rings......

Can't wait for it tho

Ice cubes in tap water would have been a cheaper solution lol

Cider is disgusting. I'd rather drink out of the river Liffey.

I am sold on this idea!

viota

a/c unit is very expensive and im poor. i have a tiny freezer so no room for ice cubes. Plus i only rent the place and its not permanent

Micky Dolenz

Marge, can you set the oven to cold?

Guess its a cold shower for you so lol

You beat me to it, Nemeses: if you're overheating and have no respite available, then the cold/cool shower is your only man! The only problem is that (like packets of BBQ Hula Hoops), 1 is never enough! Better to have a cool/cold bath just sitting there that you can sit into every half hour or so for 5 minutes - heaven!!

Now, imagine sitting in a non air-conditioned office with the sun blazing in through a huge pane of double-glazed glass - hell!! Ain't karma a bitch. I reckon I'm paying for that time I mugged the blind nun of her pension money. Still, building up a healthy thirst for 5 o'clock. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but there is a strong chance you will be dead by then
