It's raining, but I'm so happy I could dance in it!

We've just returned from a week in Italy where the temperature was between 37-43C. It was a horrible dead heat, we sweated buckets and couldn't sleep at night. We got sunburnt despite slathering on Factor 50+. We couldn't go for drives in the car because it was like being in an oven (even with air conditioning).

We always go on camping holidays in the sun, but never encountered heat like this before.

So it's lovely to be home to rain and a temperature of 18C.

I LOVE Irish weather!
(Disclaimer: I may think differently in a few weeks time if we have another Summer like the last three!)

In the same boat - living close to the center of Bergamo. Right now it's 11.30 am and circa 30 degrees celcius so I'm where any normal Irish person would be in the circumstances; inside hugging the air conditioner

Lake Garda. It is absolutely beautiful out there - if you have the energy to enjoy it!

Where I live it's over 30 degrees everyday and it hasn't rained in months and isn't likely to rain for another few months. I try my best not to go outside before 5 in the evening in case I evaporate. It's amazing how much you miss the miserable weather back home some times.

Be thankful for it.

Once when I was leaving Tel Aviv it was 44c and we arrived home to a cold, wet Dublin @ 9c!.

I was in Africa around the sahara desert, was pushing 45c and on a damn camel.
Still would prefere that over this crappy depressing rain we get. This country is bad, but the weather does make it even worse.

This is one of the many things I like about England: it hardly ever gets bitterly cold in the winter or blisteringly hot in the summer.

Poly

Madrid, 39 C in the shade, we were cute though, we stayed out of the shade.

Agricola

Id take a shot at 37c over what I got when I was in Florence recently. Which was wind, rain and highs of 17c! Im back 3 weeks and every week since Ive returned its been glorious in Italy :mad:

Meh...

Was 37 degrees when I was in Madrid last month, but bone dry heat. Just take a siesta and come back out when the sun is low. There's nothing a few cheap jugs of tinto vino can't solve. Summer in the Mediterranean isn't for 'doing stuff', it's for lazing at the beach, napping in the afternoon, and drinking all night. And summer isn't summer when you can't sit outside at night in a teeny tiny dress and sandals!**

**obviously I'm not Irish, since girls here tend to do this when it is like 15 degrees. I'm continually amazed by the capacity of some Irish women to wear microminis and open-toe shoes when it is friggin freezing...

My Political Hero michael Scofield once said

'When it rains, it pours'

And I think he was right because you often hear people saying "Its pouring out" instead of "Its raining out". So Michael Scofield wasnt afraid of rain and I don't think you should be either. Also he wasn't afraid of heat like when he selflessly turned off the Air Conditioning unit so he could save Sara even though he knew it would upset T-Bag.

Michael Scofield wouldn't mind the heat or the rain. So if he can go outside, you can too. You just have to believe in yourself like Michael Scofield believes in himself.

Especially when their flab overflows said items coupled with constant jiggling in the cold weather. Now that's an Irish winter setting to behold.
