Mild Temperate Climate?

    Or so we were told at school the country we live in has. I ask; who the fudge comes up with this ****e? Having spent a cold miserable morning in Sandyford I can conclusively state there's nothing mild about that weather out there; it's ****ing freezing in laymans terms.

    I therefore petition the Geography Textbook Makers Union to change this fallacy to 'Miserable Occaisionally Freezing And Frequently ****e Climate'.

    Just answert he questions on Ox-bow lakes and Waterfalls instead. Way easier than worring about climate definitions.

    It's not cold out there now.

    Get a nice warm car, a jumper and an indoor job. Problem solved. Our climate is temperate compared to the rest of the world:

    Hnyere...

    Hnyere...

    Hnyere...

    Hnyere...

    Or

    Hynere...?

    I know which I prefer.

    It usually is though, comparatively speaking - the weather here right now is an exception to the norm.

    Minnesota. (Further south than ireland btw).

    Its 20 below from october to may. I once arrived at the airport in minniapolis and it was 35 below.

    Throw a glass of water in the air and its ice before it hits the ground. Its so cold all mositure freezes which means its really dry, you have to chug water to keep hydrated. Which is weird when you're surrounded by snow.

    I'm sick of people complaining of the cold when it actually isn't that bad!
    Just put on some feckin' clothes and you mightn't be cold!

    I used to think Ireland was pretty cold until I spent a winter in Canada. Having to put on thermal leggins/shirt as well as two tshirts, two jumpers, two jeans, two coats, gloves and a hat just to smoke a cigarette gave me a new appreciation for how mild this countrys weather is.. usually

    *looks at blizzard outside*

    :D

    You are correct. Maritime Temperate Climate


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,201 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    Methinks the OP needs to look up the definition of the word 'climate'*.

    What we have out there now is WEATHER. CLIMATE is something else entirely.



    *And pay more attention in school.
