While last night wasn't as warm as the past couple of nights my cursing of this damn humidity was exacperated by hearing what appeared like every boyracer in Ireland using the motorway two fields away from my house as their own racetrack last night.

So basically a lad opens the window to keep himself cool but can't sleep cus of those damn scrotes being out in force.

I had a similar problem with leaving the windows open. Ear plugs were no use because then I wouldn't hear my morning alarm. Then realised that earbud headphones do almost as good a job at blocking out noise but the trailing cable means they are guaranteed to pull out of my ears while asleep before morning, thus I still hear the morning alarm.

This heat is marvellous and long may it continue. I sleep in possibly the warmest house in Ireland but I don't care..... keep shining sun!

I had a hoody on at work all day yesterday. Then went I went outside to get the bus home at 4.30 it was ROASTING. The aircon at work must be working well!

I like the heat. It is quite hot at night, but I just open the window..it's grand!

It was 27 here today, I was trying to clean the windows, bad idea. Had to stop every so often to wipe myself off

Wipe yourself off what? You'll never get the windows clean doing that.....

Bought a pool for the garden today.

Out in my shorts, eating a bowl of ice cream and browsing on Boards.....

I'm loving it.

The heat is killing me. For the first time ever I think, in my 27 years, I'm complaining about the heat. Well the humidity. I think a lot comes down to the fact that I am a really hairy fcuker and that makes me warmer and sweatier. Woke up numerous times last night and eventually had a blast of a cold shower at 3.30am to cool down. I also spent half of the day yesterday wandering around the office looking for empty meeting rooms in the office where I could go in and work with air con.

I'm a hairy bastard, too. Get an electric hair clippers to shave it all off. Your hair absorbs the sweat, which makes the smell of sweat linger.

I'm loving it. Taking tomorrow off and heading to the beach. Long may it continue!

Son Of A Vidic

Love the heat, can't get enough.

Where I live, the summers are always hot. If you want to keep the house cool during the hot weather, DON'T follow your instinct and open the windows during the day when it's hotter outside than inside, that'll just heat up the house. Keep the windows closed, and close curtains on the side of the house that the sun is shining on. Once the temp outside is cooler outside than inside, then open windows (at least two to get a current of air going).

I can't deal with this heat, I feel faint and sleepy and dizzy and fed up all at once. I'm sitting on the bathroom floor because the tiles are freezing

Wishiwasa Littlebitaller

I'm waiting for the temperature to rise at least another 2° before I am willing to hit the beach and expose these testicles to the fraazing cold water.

I prefer moving air through the house, must be funny like that.

dublinman1990

I heard off the RTE weather from Evelyn Cusack that it is to be very wet in the northwest of Ireland with heavy rain and thunderstorms with temperatures of 15 to 17 degrees celsius for tonight.

According to my Bing Weather app, Dublin is getting 76% humidity at the moment with temperatures of 17 degrees celsius.

But Cork has the highest level of humidity with 90% at the moment.

moxin

Hardly a breeze out tonight, its nearly midnight and Dublin is at about 16C outside! Inside the house, it must be about 25C, how will I be able to sleep tonight?

Shower of moaners!

This must be the only country in the world that moans and whinges about feckin' everything.
If it's not warm, you're moaning about the rain and the snow.
Get a fan, put it beside your bed, sleep under a sheet and keep the window open. You'll be fine.

It's a bit of heat...have you never been to Spain in middle July?!

No.

What's your point?

cocobubbles

I love the hot weather during the day, the night is a pain in the arse though. I live above a restaurant kitchen that opens till 12 every night.... At this rate il have sweated off two stone by August!!

I can't f**king wait till the rain comes back, the colder the better.

Nib wrote: »

My point is it's at least ten-sometimes twenty degrees hotter in Spain at this time of year than the heat we're having in Ireland.
People are always wishing for nice weather but now we have it, people are moaning.

And yes it's humid but that's what happens when you've got GLORIOUS WEATHER IN JULY!

Yes but the humidity is also at like 30% whereas here it's 98%.
If it was the same as Spain people would enjoy it most likely

What has Spain's climate got to do with ours?

People aren't all the same. I don't like this heat, it's too much. It's uncomfortable. 20 degrees during the day and 7 degrees at night would be perfect for me.

I'm pretty sure Spanish natives are well acclimatized to their weather.

Comparing two completely different climates is quite frankly stupid.

A Greedy Algorithm

If it was a tad warmer every day, it'd be perfect weather.

B0jangles

I said it last year and I'll say it again this year:

1. Hot water bottle

2. Fill with cold water

3. Put in bed

= bliss


extreme circumstances:

2a. Put in freezer for a couple of hours

= Super mega bliss

I'm giving you the reason people are moaning, I don't really care.

It's pointless and quite stupid to compare it to hotter temperatures in countries with different humidity levels.

Ah air conditioning in my fabalous house, hope u all fry

Tis freezing in my sitting room:)

shruikan2553

Im thankful there are people here to tell us about the climate in other countries. Did you know the Sahara is very warm? If you are complaining anywhere else you dont know real heat! You think Ireland is wet and windy? There are countries that have a monsoon season!

In fact you shouldnt be complaining at all, there are people with far worse lives than you! Look at Ukraine and Syria and people are sitting here complaining about other people complaining. You dont know real problems!

An Riabhach

Anyone tried using a "cold water bottle"?

Fill a hot water bottle with cold water and leave in the fridge for a while-maybe a couple of hours-take it to bed and place it on your pillow,the side of your face or the back of your neck.Keep a bottle of cold water in the fridge in case you need to fill the "cold water bottle" again.Twill keep you cool...tis what Ive been doin for the last few nights and I find it a great help-and dont bother with sheets or anythin.

Reiketsu

I hope the people complaining about those complaining about the heat don't complain in winter about the cold. Other places are colder sure!

I accept that there are people way worse off than me in the world and I am thankful for everything I have.... I just like complaining!

Mr. G

I have an ice pack on my forehead trying to cool down and get some sleep. It's humid.

Grandeeod

I'm Irish. I moved abroad to a hot country 2 years ago. I was the typical stereotype of kicking off the sheets and twisting and turning all night in warm weather. But once you acclimatise, this warm weather in Ireland is a piece of piss. I'm back in Ireland for a few weeks and while its nice weather, I'm under the duvet at night and sleeping soundly. A hot night to me is 25 celcius plus and 40 odd during the day. A cold night is 15 to 17. Jacket on when out and snuggle up at home.

However, it is amusing how we love to moan about the weather. In a couple of months it will be the wind, rain and freezing temps making the news.

Have you ever thought that maybe just maybe some people don't enjoy hot weather and instead prefer the cold? Shocker I know. I can guarantee you'll be moaning and whinging when the rain and snow is back in a couple of months whereas some of us won't be. Enjoy the weather while it lasts and let the people who don't enjoy it have their moan ffs.

Why do you care if people don't like the heat? Just enjoy it.

And do you know that the same people who complain about the heat complain about the cold?

Oh and a lot of of people, myself included, avoid Spain in high summer.

I never complained about the cold. I love the cold.

You acclimatised because you lived somewhere that allowed you to do so. Most others haven't done that.
