It's not the heat that's annoying it's the humidity.

Dry heat is bearable but high humidity simply saps your energy on all fronts. I was boxing in Cuba a few months ago and it was near 90% humidity and around 33 degrees. After a couple of rounds it felt like I was wearing a weights vest and I started to feel dizzy. Awful stuff.

It's true about the humidity, it's the feckin wet in this country that makes the weather so miserable outside of about a ten degree range. Same as during winter,even 5 or 10 degrees feels freezing and rotten because of the damp

I don't mind the "cold" that we experience in this country at all.

It's the horrible summer weather of all day dead heat which makes sleeping next to impossible that I hate . That and the fact that it gets bright out before 7 in the morning which never fails to wake me up.

Roll on autumn.

Do you not have electric fans in Ireland?

Do they make body sized fans that are completely silent and also don't just move the horrible humid air around?

Only heavy metal fans......Do we have many heavy metal fans on After Hours?

Yes. We have them here.

No. Or A/C units. Standard electricity costs are too high.

It's not great for the testes though. It can kill a lot of the sperm.

Love the heat, any excuse to break out the speedos, well flip flops and speedos are the only thing you need during hot weather. The beer gut hanging over them just add to the awesomeness. Yes some customers might be embarrassed while you make their sandwiches but tis the Summer.

And none of those testes problems your having either, the speedos cup them nicely like a second scrotum.

It's 31 degrees here. I can't leave the house for any length of time. Suffice is to say I am well insulated, like a baby seal. I am sitting next to a large fan and wearing a wife-beater.

Poxy foreign countries with their poxy foreign weather.

Remmy

well hydrated I'm sorted. I can concentrate well, do manual stuff outside etc. In this heat If I just decided to just have a cup of tea every few hours or so I'd probably be quite lethargic and lazy.

holystungun9

In general it's a pain in the ( sweaty ) balls.

On the plus side, the nice looking Chinese bird who lives in the room opposite mine (same building but there is a small courtyard between us) has taken to leaving her window and blinds open (no euphemism) and just hanging out (no jokes please) in her knickers.

Last night she had a good ol' finger blasting session.

(My window and therefore my eyeballs are about 20 feet from her window so I reserve the right to watch) (I like brackets)

Yes, we've 2 in the attic in Ireland but we never use them.

I've never seen air conditioners in houses in Ireland but most cars have it.

The weather is so changeable here it never lasts that long anyway, may as well make the most of it. It's better than wet and cold.

It apparently hit 32 celsius in parts of Britain today, that's what I want.

Half the worlds population would consider our current weather to be a cold spell.

It's not even *that* hot - wouldn't say the heat at the moment is particularly remarkable.

Anyway - heat is great. Beats rain and cold every day. The more the sun shines the better it is.

KungPao wrote: »

Dunno what you are all moaning about, unless it's been sizzling elsewhere in the country, but in Dublin it's just been nice out. Nothing more.

I agree with the above 3 posts. I don't think it's hot at all, it's nice. Not hot, not cold. I love sun holidays and I'm normally comfortable in heat up to about 35 degrees.

Very different humidity levels though.

Completely agree, but have found zero issue while on holiday or at home with the heat/humidity.

I actually had to stop working for a little while today before my jelly legs failed me. **** this ****. Roll on -10 :mad:

It got very warm here yesterday,, I am in the Midlands (Portlaoise)

It had to be the hottest so far..

Hey, how bout this heat, huh?

We do, but all the fans do is blow more humidity onto you so it's pointless really using them. As was said, it's the high humidity that is the killer, trying to gasp for a breath.

Just checking out the flight price for 3 months return to Iceland, not bad at all, will book my flight next may and leave you all to this humid sweaty pong of a kip. I slipped up this year, but I won't next may...astalavista you sweaty feckers.

It's 40 degrees c in Freiburg, Southern Germany.

You can fry an egg on a car bonnet it's that warm.

Right 40°c there, but what is the humidity ?

Cork airport 89% humidity. Dublin airport 78%

Augmerson

I'm not sure about earlier but it's 54% now but it's almost 12. I get you on the humidity though, not so nice!

Been there, done that, in rush hour from Highgate station. Ladies were wilting like so many daffodils. My shirt was ruined by the time we got to Camden Town. At least the air is cool underground, and I would try and stand by the window at one end of the carriage, where some air would get in when the train moved.

I'm getting used to this heat at the moment. By the time I'm acclimatised, the heat will be gone, and it'll be back to the usual grey.

Boskowski

What heat? Its just about nice...

I mean seriously everything is so much nicer. Like playing golf in a tshirt or running around town on your motorbike in scandalously unsafe attire or just hanging out. I love it.

Having said that I do agree that - say - 23 degrees in Ireland somehow feels warmer than 23 degrees elsewhere, for example in Italy. But I still love it and in fairness 23 is hardly heat like I said above. I saw some of the Spanish students running around today in hoodies. Its all relative.

savagebaja

right shower of baby's, try doing my job in this heat , I am a welder.

Trebor176

The heat is unbearable at the moment. I'd hate to be in London right now. Though, I wouldn't mind a proper thunderstorm, unlike the disappointment of the one this morning.

The last few weeks, I've been lying on top of the sheets, rather than under them. Even when it was slightly cooler than now, I still felt too warm. Tonight isn't going to be the best for sleeping, I fear.

Nonkeymuts

i'm a snowman and its killing me slowly i'm typing here with one arm and one finger my legs are gone help !!!!!!!!!!! next will be my snowballs

B.A._Baracus

Can only speak from a personal opinion. But I think tonight has been the hottest night this summer.

Resonator75

Getting on me tats really at the moment, its not like a 'hot' heat, its a stuffy, oppressive, high pressure type heat that needs a good thunder storm.
As soon as I do anything physical , like going to the fridge and then opening my beer, Im covered in sweat....terrible altogether... Must ring Joe.

Renegade Mechanic

Tell ye how bad the humidity was here in Tipp, theres an elevated 2ft wide strip of black, plastic lining covering a box in the yard. There was a puddle of water in it about an inch at its deepest after the rain this morning.

Its still there now after the heat and direct sun of the day.

Shakespeare's Sister

Think I'm the only person ever who doesn't mind a bit of humidity. :pac:
Feels tropical!
(Not saying I'd be able for it in New Orleans or somewhere though ).

Would like a good auld downpour though - something very satisfying about it. The "storm" here last night was pathetic. A short heavy shower, that was it.

For the love of cornflakes...it's not the heat that is the problem... it's the HUMIDITY!!!. :mad:

Tuesday coming is going to be the real killer.

93% humidity down south atm. There will be no sleeping done tonight I think.

Reiketsu

Can't hack this heat/humidity at all. I sleep best in a cool room but that's not happening tonight. My fan is pointless as its only blowing warm air at me. I love cold weather when you can get cozy in layers . This coming Tuesday looks like my idea of hell. Currently 17 degrees here with 90% humidity. Feck that!

Resonator75

Christ I love being Irish, too cold: pi$$ and moan, to Hot: pi$$ and moan! Maybe March and October are the Irish civilization's (dare I call it that?) months of perfection?

Where else would ye get it?

Bongalongherb

Well as I said earlier, I am not going to hang around here next may june july or august, I will be in Iceland with a few spliff's soaking up the cool fresh air, and they have natural warm water holes from the volcano there just for a dip with a fresh clean cool air-flow encompassing your body and mind.

It might be a good idea for all boards.ie ice-men and ice-women to go over next may, have a party on the volcano. Great place indeed. Will see you there folks next may. tee-shirts only and bikinis for the lady's. Happy days.

Who's up for it ?.
