    But their Summer is in our Winter! So it's opposite land. That means we'll have an awful Summer. :(

    Hope it comes back soon - it usually warm around the time of the Galway races. However, that's along way away yet.

    rofl I don't know what Ireland you're living in, it's usually about 16 or 17c most days during the summer, come off it ffs!
    We'll get another week or so in June or end of May, and that'll be that. Same as every year. Then the wettest July/August on record.
    Then a thread will start where deluded morons will tell us what a great summer we had because all they'll remember is the 19c in April and the week we got in June. Dear oh dear...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    it's lovely out here in Clondalkin, there was a shower last night and thats it

    We get crap summers but this is nonsense. 16 or 17 degrees as an average would be a cool summer. Think more 19 or 20 degrees as standard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 496 ✭✭s-cogan


    the sun can **** off for another while!!!
    if we get the sh1t rained out of us in may, we're almost guaranteed good june/july/august!!
    always happens, big hot may then PPPLLLSSSSPPP, summer is washout,
    but a rainy windy may will see us all sunburnt out of our trees throught the REAL summer months.
    you all know the saying, "a wet and windy may fills sheds with corn and hay"!!!!
    so piss off, mr sun, and come back when your wanted.
    besides, all this dry weather is making it impossible to get a run or two into the P2P horses, and all the jockeys are injured off the hard ground, so with another month, then bake us to a crisp

    If you're talking about the CET, that averages daytime and night-time temperatures.

    maybe it is, but I'd say outside of Northern Ireland and Scotland, the Republic must have the worst summer in Europe.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,439 ✭✭✭Kevin Duffy


    Ah, summer, me favourite day of the year.

    Anyway, we'd decent enough summers the last two years and seem to have a proper cycle of seasons again, so let's be positive.

    I think we had the wettest July on record in 2010 actually!

    Would you have an 'oul link to make me eat me words there, 'cos I climbed outdoors more days last year than in the previous 3 combined thanks to the weather, al over Ireland. I also spent the whole of the World Cup and a few other choice sporting events in beer gardens with not a drop of rain that I remember. 'twas lovely where I was sitting.

    Records show you to be quite correct Sir/Madam. I think I may have got drunk in late June and sobered up to climb again in balmy August.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,007 ✭✭✭sollar


    Its not over yet, after the rainy season of Jun, July & Aug we always get a good week in september just to make you feel melancholic about the summer that never was.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,510 ✭✭✭population


    Well I am coming home for July and August so it is absolutely guaranteed to piss rain for at least 10 weeks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    Why do we stay in this damp country?
    You wouldn't live in a damp home, would you (Sorry Tramps).
    Why live in a damp country.
    If you think about it statistically and logically, we're very unlucky to be born here. You have a much higher chance of being born in heat.
    China, India, Africa, South America. Over 1/2 the population of the planet live in these places. But nope, we're born in paddy land and get blasted with piss every day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,024 ✭✭✭previous user


    I pruned my trees in the sun.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,048 ✭✭✭vampire of kilmainham


    yep there is more good weather on the way for me im heading out to my appartment in bulgaria in a few weeks will stay there most of the summer :p
