    It was that warm. It was averaging 26c in my cycle on the sun. This same thing comes up every time we have this thread. All the met eireann and weather reports are taken from thermometers that are in a box, so they're in the shade. And the boxes have airholes, so they get a breeze if there is one. If you're sitting in the sun it's going to be a lot warmer.

    Yeah, 17 degrees. Ouch! We weren't designed for these extreme temperatures!

    Where I am, near Hamilton, Ontario, it is currently 26 celsius (feels like 30 on the humidex meter). More of the same all week.

    Did you know that women can legally walk around topless where I live?

    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.

    46 degrees here but feels allot hotter due to the humidity. Jogging has been put off for early morning / evening when it cools down to a nice 30.

    I'll be home soon and well wrapped up for anything under 25.

    I bet you will be! 42 to 44 is about the highest I have seen it in my area. Of course it feels higher with the humidity factored in. Generally that only happens here off and on from July to September but when it gets that hot it just sucks the life out of you.

    Better bring a warm parka when you get back home. ;)

    Of course it's going to be warmer sitting in the sun.

    All temperatures around the world are measured in the shade.

    Today is forecast for 19-21 degrees in Dublin, that is very pleasant but seriously it's by no means warm or uncomfortable.

    Its certainly hot these days, its just about the right temp during the day(don't know how people enjoy living in places where its 10 degrees hotter or more all the time).

    But I really wish it got cold at night, I haven't slept as well as I would like for the last while due to the heat.

    Those boxes are the only way the accurately measure the air temperature. You do realise weather forecast are given in air temperature, right?

    My car said 26*C the other day and it because my driveway absorbs the Sun's heat and then radiates it back out, thus, making the air above my driveway warmer.

    If we covered the entire country in black tarmac, we would get seriously high temperatures compared to other countries.

    Also, the breeze doesn't affect the thermometers. Only lifeforms feel the cooling effect of the wind. Look up wind chill on Google.

    Warm about covers it. Hot was what I felt in Dubai. First night I was there, we went to an "Irish pub" (don't ask), and when we came out, the wind was blowing from the general direction of Riyadh. The car thermometer read 43°C ... at midnight. :cool:

    This song is about exactly this. How the Irish complain about the weather, then it gets hot and everyone complains again, and then are secretly relieved when it goes back to the usual pishy weather.

    Yeah. Imagine living on the equator where the mean temperature is 30° day and night all year round, with humidity always around 100% :eek:

    Irish people love complaining about 'the heat.'.

    In my local gym there are people who come in to use the sauna, they sit down and immediately start complaining "ah jaysus, it's too hot in here for me, it's shockin' hot".

    It's a sauna for feck sake, it's supposed to be hot. I wouldn't mind, but most of the saunas in Ireland are way too cool, and it's because of the 'it's too hot in here' brigade. But that's a rant for another thread.

    I think Irish people all all farmers at heart when it comes to the weather no matter where we live.

    Good Weather : "Jaysus, you'd miss the drop of rain, this heat is wrecking the crops"

    Bad Weather : "Jaysus will this rain ever end, it's wrecking the crops"

    Our bodies would be used to it by then. I'm a cold weather person, I walk around in t-shirts in December and January and don't even feel it. In warm weather, even if relatively, our current weather isn't warm in comparison to other countries, I'm a mess. Constant sweating and headaches, and not functioning as well as I would normally.

    I went to Australia last year on a one year working holiday visa. I only managed 8 weeks. Something people dont tell you is that the breeze over there is a hot breeze. Like a hair dryer in your face. And it wasn't even the start of summer yet! The heat over there made me sick and it wasn't worth it.

    When I landed back here it was -1 and it was lovely. Wore a t-shirt.

    Irish summers are grand. Its just a week and you get over it again.

    If I can't spend a few hours outside without my skin getting burned and getting a headache then it's too hot.

    Pffft. It's actually freezing. I used to live on the sun and it was 10 million degrees. At night. I'm wearing 12 jumpers today.

    I think it's an Irish thing to complain about those who are complaining about those who are complaining about those who are complaining about the weather.




    All I care about is that it holds up so I don't have to dig out my wintery clothes again (which I've packed away) when I visit next month! Hold up, Irish weather. Hold up!

    Crap, I just put my Winter stuff away last week, expecting not to see them until December after I've moved house but now that I think of it, I'll need most of it for Ireland in July :(
