Good for you, but this is not a dublin forum, neither is it a regional thing, its a general question.

Central heating has also reached to rest of the country, but some times an open fire is nicer.

You also have fireplaces in Dublin, but we make you use crappy, over-priced, smokeless fuel & keep the good stuff for ourselves.

I like in a small flat so I have a superser, instant heat and you only have to leave it on for about 10 minutes for the place to be roasting and for only €30 for a bottle of gas that will last up to two and a half months you can't complain. Best thing ever to have on the cold winter mornings, jump out of the bed, put it on and dive back under the covers and wait 10 minutes for the room to heat up and you're sorted. Great invention.

Brendog

Its freezing in the morning and at night and its just the end of August.













This winter is going to suck camel dick....

mike65

Its sweltering outside now in the sun, but they said the still nights would be cool. Tis soon the season of mellow fruitfulness. My favourite time of year.

Only August, so it's still a bit oily for that....

--LOS--

I had the electric heater on for the first time in ages yesterday evening, bring on winter, sick of being blinded by the sun, it might be roasting outside today but I've goosebumps inside now.

I like Autumn and the days that look sunny and warm but that are actually nippy. Always have, no idea why. Maybe I just like the couch, fire and a DVD too much. None of this 'outside' and 'activities' business.

There's always a single point when you're leaving Summer and the weather is getting colder where you'll decide 'Right, time for the winter coat again' and suddenly the central heating is on and you're putting on the extra layers in the morning.

Personally I don' think it's there yet. Give it a few weeks though...

Done this last night when the dogs got loose, was wearing a t-shirt so I grabbed my big snowboarding jacket and went out to look for them.

It felt great.

It's definitely getting colder at night. I went back to turning on the central heating on at night last week. I haven't needed to have it on at night since April.

-was freezin yesterday, winter in my view. its still august i.e. summer - hello impending 7-8 months of winter.

It has been Autumn for a month now!!

Gang of Gin

Dreams fled away, this country bedroom, raw
With the touch of dawn, wrapped in a minor peace,
Hears through an open window the garden draw
Long pitch black breaths , lay bear its apple trees,
Ripe pear trees, brambles, windfall-sweethened soil,
Exhale rough sweetness against the starry slates.....

yeah, i guess

seems we only get some summer somewhere late may / early june. anything else in this place is winter to me. good climate for gettin some miles in, but it has to be cold enough here for the sun to shine it seems - i know most folk here r in their element in the cold, we're too used to it.

starbelgrade

What the f*ck is everyone on about? Cold, my arse. Yesterday was lovely - sunshine all day. I even had dinner out on the patio & today it was 16 degrees at 10am!

Jesus H - people need to man up... if the temperature's go over 20, someone starts a thread complaining about the heat, if they go below that, it's too friggin cold. FFS - it's not like this kinda weather doesn't happen every f*cking year.

Stinicker

The temperature is falling fast, this morning when I awoke it was the first time since April that I had condensation on the glass of the window, meaning that the outside temps are falling. I hope we get another freezing winter, at least they are winters unlike the usual crap of rain.

In Ireland, Autumn starts in September. That whole August being Autumn thing is just American influences that filtered into our brains as kids. Like, thinking about what months most of think are in what season, you can't consider most of August to be Autumn (it's only getting cold on the 29th/30th this year), just like you can't consider February to be Spring.

+1,000,000!!!

The amount of people that give me looks that would kill when I say that I loved last winter is unreal! I can't understand why people didn't like it.* Would they really prefer rain (which means you'll be cold anyway cos you'll get wet) and wind (which means the rain is horizontal rendering umbrellas useless)?

*I do drive so I remember what the roads were like, but other than that, last winter was the best ever in my 23 years since I was sent to this cold, wet island by the sky fairy/spaghetti monster/Jebus/whoever you want to think sent me here.

I do drive also but with careful planning and winter tyres the weather last had zero effect on my driving. If Irish people paid attention to the weather and had their cars in any decent sort of condition they'd have managed fine. I have driven at over 100mph with Winter tyres on at -7c, albeit on the German Autobahn in Winter.

I'm not disagreeing...
But...
Meain Fomhair- Middle of Autumn- September
Deireadh Fomhair - End of Autumn- October

When did they change Autumn?

We very very rarely get that kind of cold, which is why the councils were caught off guard, so you can hardly hold it against people for not having chains and specialised tyres.

JONJO THE MISER

Yeah Jaysus it was frezzing last night, when the kids go back to school i always know its time to get the auld turf and timber at the ready, ill give it another week and then its roasting fires and drink all winter long:D

El Horseboxo

I do be freezing in the mornings and at nights. Even during the day in the height of Irish summers i wear 2 or 3 layers of clothing. Must be my Mexican ancestors tropical blood.

JupiterKid

It has been getting a tad nippier iin the evenings and the evenings are also getting noticably shorter but hey that's always the case at the end of Summer.

Autumn is less than 2 days away. The days are great weather wise. Dry, clear skies and sunny.

As for fires, how about warming your bones beside a burning church?:cool:

Afraid you couldn't have gotten that more wrong.

In Ireland, it is the months of Autumn, September and October that make up Autumn. You're quote is from Met Eireann, which is examining the meteorological seasons. You can read a bit more about it here. Likewise, in the US, "Fall" doesn't start until September. Therefore, I'm afraid it's you who has been under the "american influence".

Yeah, it's definitely colder alright, but hardly brass monkeys.
Artic monkeys, maybe. :pac: :pac: :pac:
