THE HEAT, I feel liek I AM GOING INSANE...

I am pie

The actual air temperature may be above the recorded temperature. No real idea how it works but here you get 2 temperatures readings. One is the real temperature and the other is the "Sensacion Termica" or ST which is sort of what the temperature feels like to the human body based on humidity, wind and other atmospheric factors. Have had 40c+ temperature and nearly 50c ST. You know that the important one is the ST as that's what you are actually going to experience. Walking outside in 50 ST needs to be a well regulated exercise, if it's the weekend during the day I only venture out to air conditioned cinemas, swimming pools or shopping malls.

It's something like the wind chill temperature in Ireland in winter, were it might only be 5C but it feels ball freezingly intolerable if you're walking by the coast with a strong wind blowing in.

Doubt there is much difference in real temp and atmospherically adjusted temperatures in Ireland?

Definitely cant stand the heat. Rather be cloudy and grey.

I was sweating something awful during my running, and despite wearing tracksuit bottoms and a long sleeved t shirt, I still ended up sunburnt.

Anyone notice that you get hornier in the heat ? Fair observation !

I've noticed that!

There was a tornado in Ontario yesterday. Just be thankful you guys weren't in it and only have to moan about the heat.

How come you are all out complaining about the heat - all I can do is look out the window in work and complain that I cannot get to the heat.

Philo Beddoe

One thing I've noticed about when the temperature goes up is how annoyed some people get when you say you don't like it!

"How can you complain about this after all those months of bitter cold and rain??? :mad:"

I wasn't complaining about the cold and rain at the time! Nor did I get angry with you for doing so!

cloud493

Hate the heat and sun. At no point during the frost and rain and dark skies did I complain

maguic24

It's a great day for a wet t-shirt competition.

Mmmm......more water.

Hates the sun....... and runs 18K in 2 days.

Hmmmmm :rolleyes:

SimonTemplar

I saw that temperatures are due to reach 30 degrees. I like the heat, I really do, but only when I choose to be in it. I'll be heading to the Mediterranean next month and I can't wait.

However, I don't like this heat when going about my daily routine. It just feels too oppressive, especially at night when trying to sleep. I wish I could enjoy it like others do though.

Id be running if it was snowing or raining. Exercise don't stop cos of heat.

Dropped to 19 degrees here now and cloudy - YAY :pac:

shruikan2553

Dont like it when it goes above 20. Its not so much the heat during the day thats the issue. Its the heat at night that bothers me. Ive been to other countries that have warmer than this as standard and was fine. Theres just something about Irish heat thats terrible. Prefer a nice cool 15ish weather.

Yeah it'll only last a week anyway! Burn your skin until you'd make a tomato jealous, winter is coming, next week!:P

snickerpuss

Can't really function over about 20°. Just not made for it.

Don't understand why people assume I'd rather it was raining. Rain is not the opposite of heat! Bright, cloudless and relatively cool is A-OK.

mad muffin

BBQ. Bloody marvellous.

I love hot weather! I'm a real sun worshipper, and I'd happily sit out in it all day if I wouldn't overheat and end up with a headache. I spent a good while out in the garden reading since Monday, and I've been getting a bit of a tan. I'll be working in the heat all weekend, so I refuse to waste it while I can enjoy it.

A wet, cloudy summer is terribly depressing.

Super-Rush

The sun is going down, there's hardly a cloud in the sky, its noticeably cooler, there's a nice breeze blowing over my shoulder, the cat is lying in the window trying to get in the last few rays of sunlight, I'm outside in the garden with a pint of cidona and ice, all I can hear are the birds and the odd tractor in the distance.

Its a fantastic evening out there.

mickydoomsux

Hate the heat. Sticky horribleness.

Time to try to get more than ten minutes of uninterrupted sleep whilst sweating my bollocks off

mrsoundie

At least two weeks of this and you would be surprised how well you would adapt to it, however that's the problem, we never get two weeks or even three weeks straight.

I feel peoples pain, pity that the weather does not stay the same, giving everyone a chance to acclimatise.

PS Why is the spell checker in American English?

Its not the heat, check the humidity, average for Ireland is 65% even during the depths of winter, that's what makes the difference.

Check the humidity figures for 10 o'clock this evening. Met.ie

Nobody enjoys it going around their daily routine. People who claim they do are either unemployed or just trying to wind you up.

Talib Fiasco

Got burnt yesterday so I said I'd be careful today not to get roasted completely....of course I would fall asleep in the sun today. Front half of me is f*cked. I'm in terrible pain atm. I'm dreading going to sleep tonight. My upper chest and arms are really bad. And that part that joins your arms to your torso by your armpit is irritating as hell. Just as well I'm indoors for the next three days. Work is gonna be hell though.

Shakespeare's Sister

Love it. I just keep the windows open and have a nice cool shower before bed.
Drink plenty of water and keep bottles of it in the fridge.

I don't know if I'd like it hotter though, and while people moaning constantly about it would be annoying, it's not for everyone and that's their preference which they can't control.

The stuff about other countries being way hotter is irrelevant too - this isn't other countries, what people are used to has to be factored in. If it was 13 degrees in a hot country they'd be freezing their asses off whereas that's a fairly moderate temperature here, even in early summer.

Tail Docker

Try standing in the direct sun with a blazing welder in your hand spattering you with molten lumps of burney gloop. All day. While wearing a t-shirt and drenched in sweat. Today was tough.

One thing I don't understand...why don't people put suncream on?

I'm pale, but not extremely pale. I have yellow toned pale skin that takes a while to burn...but still I put suncream on everyday! It takes a minute.

I just don't understand why so my people get burned when it can be so easily prevented. Do they think it looks nice

cloud493

They want to prove to people in the winter the sun was here :pac:

SweetChaos

Let the dog out in the garden hes suffering in this heat (like me more at night though) I stood outside there is a glorious breeze it was heaven if anyone is to hot strip of and go to the back gardens :P

Mmmmm so much cooler this morning.

I don't get it either. Surely one look out the window would tell people that it's a really sunny day, so they might get burned. I was slathered in factor 30 yesterday, and I tan more than I burn.

Sad to see clouds again today though!

Going home on the 6th. Wonder will it stay nice?
