This heat is too much for me, the mid twenties was grand but this is sweltering.

The records only started in mid 19 century, the longer elapsed time since then, we should expect records to be broken due to larger sample size, so in and of itself, records being broken isn't surprising.

It’s mad to think that 32C would be regarded as cool in a lot of countries during the summer.

32 can be cool, if there is a bit of a breeze, doesn't seem to be much of a breeze to move the air around a little. So it's quite a sticky heat.

I lived in Turkey for a while few years back and spent one whole summer in Istanbul. Today here in the west of Ireland I would call it 'pleasant' in comparison to the humid sweltering days they get out there. We are getting some nice breezes here today though which helps a lot.

God love us, the Irish get a bit of sun and the internet goes mad.

Yeah, it was a lot hotter 4.6 billion years ago.

Anyone else getting a little irritated with the focus on how high the temperature was recorded on some rock 200 miles away, for two minutes, and then people acting like that was the temperature all over Ireland? Well I am. Been listening to it for days.

Humidity is a little annoying alright but tbh I'd like it a couple more degrees hotter than it is (in Dublin, obviously, as that's where it matters). Some proper beach temps would be sweet. Went for a walk on the beach today but it was too cold to swim and I think most people felt similarly as the water was mostly empty (and there was no shark warning, so couldn't have been that).

By the looks of the forecasts though it would seem the temps are going drop by a degree or so. Have I really got beach body ready for nothing? Would appear so.

It was a bloody nuisance back then. Pour yourself a pint of porter, go for a slash and come back to find it's after boiling off.
