I dont understand why people want rain when the sun shines. Its still hot and humid. Then you have rain and you have to cover yourself up more. And you're more hot and sweaty. And narky.

It was 42 degrees celsius where I live before I left last week to visit Ireland. Stop moaning! It's nice and warm, not hot.

Stop moaning about people moaning.

Don't mind the sun/heat all that much but hay fever is an absolute bastard.

It used to be. I used to suffer horribly with it, then one year, about 20 years ago, it just stopped. No idea how or why, but I'm not complaining.

I'd like to say I feel your pain, but I don't. Not any more!

Same here. First got when I was 9 years old. Never got after 21/22 years old. The Summers when I smoked cannabis where the only breaks I got from hayfever, but that was just for 2 years. My nose can still sense the pollen but it doesn't make me sneeze or anything.

Regardless of my hayfever in the past, I never complained about sunny weather in early Summer (when pollen is at its worst), just took a Claritin and I would be sorted for the day.

Funnily enough, I always found my hayfever a LOT worse in Ireland than it is here. Maybe my nose is just so assaulted by London pollution all year round that it just goes "Pollen? Meh..." :pac:

That's because there is not much grass or trees in the city. I used to affected by both grass and tree pollen, so living in a town Meath where there are plenty of fields around, I would murdered by pollen in early Summer.

Still way worse in Dublin.

Heat is a matter of perspective. I remember leaving Sydney to return to ireland in 2001. The weather girl warned sydneyites to wrap up well at the time, because temperatures might drop as low as 16 degrees. And it felt chilly. Arriving in Dublin, the aer lingus lassie had the cheek to inform us that the temperature on arrival would be 16 degrees, and that we had a beautiful irish summers day to look forward to. I wouldn't have thought if myself as particularly tanned at the time, but when I got to arrivals everybody looked feckin' blue!

Anything up to 30degrees is fine if you're not doing manual labour.
People who start complaining about the heat when temperatures are in the low 20's either have an underlying medical condition or are attention seekers.

I never suffered from hay fever until I moved to London. Sniff.

I remember with last summers heatwave I found it very, very difficult. The the night would be warm and I found it difficult to sleep at night and only getting a few hours sleep. Getting up in the morning for work and I wouldn't be five minutes gone for work and pouring in sweat I was. Then working all day with pure sweat dripping from my face, armpits and ass and all I needed was a cold shower. Getting home in the evening time, if I was lucky for 7pm, I was shattered and wrecked with a sore body from the sun. Shorts riding up between my legs up to my crotch creating chafting and resulting in a very sore heat rash between my legs. I tried my best to stay out from the sun but it was difficult going to and from work. I was actually sick from the sun. Humidity was so high.

Something else that made me sick was seeing my brother and sister who were unemployed, just lougning about the place giving out me saying things like 'what, this is easy weather' and I thought if they had a job to attend to they'd have a different tune to sing.

So far it's hot where I am in Ireland but it's bearable and there's a breeze.

People who complain about the heat in Ireland need to be loaded onto a ship and sent off the Greenland for good because its utter madness. It's not even hot yet, its about 19 degrees at most with a bit of wind.

Put on a pair of shorts and t-shirt and relax a bit. Over-reaction at its finest. I think a lot of people just say they love the cold and rain to seem cool (excuse the pun) or something.

It's cool to love the cold & rain? Most everyone I know or encounter would have you sectioned if you said you prefer the cooler weather...it's certainly not a popular opinion, let alone cool. As for me, I'm not a fan of the heat at all. I enjoy a blue sky & sunny day alright, but certainly prefer the colder months. Feck it, might as well go down in a blaze of glory here...I love dynamic weather, storms, thunder & lighting etc...I find it fascinating how it's all powered by the sun (/nerd). Hot, muggy, humid conditions I don't really find comfortable at all. Do people like sitting in a layer of their own sweat at night or something? But yeah, I go along with the 'ah yeah it's a cracking day' brigade because, well, you kinda have to. You may as well be speaking Japanese here by telling someone you prefer the colder (and more interesting) weather. Ok, ready, aim, FIRE!

Weather was perfect today. Exactly the right level of heat and sun, loved it.

But in 30 mins will be home and galavanting around the garden with my shirt off. (I am male BTW you perves!).

I don't know how anybody could complain about a little bit of low 20's heat.
Getting up for work on an ice-cold, dark December morning at 6am - now that is pure misery.

I don't know about you lot, but I was in Chad one or two years back, hit 50 most days there and we weren't allowed to exercise until half three in the afternoon when the temp was down to a cool 36.

The kitchens were the worst place, absolute hell.

Bring it on I say, keep it up till October.
