Thanks for letting us know.

I guess I meant to say sitting out in the sun rather than full on power-tanning in a pair of speedos.

I spent all winter (from last September to June) being freezing, wearing big jumpers, jackets and caps even in the house. I even used a hot water bottle last week.

This is great. Hope it lasts.

The great thing about cold weather is that you can pretty much make yourself as warm as you like, but when it's this hot there's not much you can do to make yourself much colder, save for temporary measures like cold showers. This is especially important when trying to sleep.

Why do so many Irish women go on with the above utter weirdness? I reckon a lot of the "cold" they feel is all in the head. Last week wasn't as warm as this week but it was still mild.

I wish I was in Ireland experiencing that heat. Where I am at the humidex and heat is registering the other day as high as 40 C! I miss Irish summers.

yes to this

Fun Fact when you look at the sun you're really looking back in time because it take's 8 minutes for the sun to reach earth so when you're looking up at it you're really looking at what the sun looked like 8 minutes ago.

BTW i hate the heat it make's me talk s*ite

Cuck you cuckers. Today was glorious. Sitting on the roof drinking white wine and ginger beer. Impromptu bbq on the balcony. A pleasant cycle home. Feeling like I'm about to explode due to sausage and burger consumption. Buckets of chilled sparkling water. Washing the sweat off in a long shower. I would kill to have this weather for the whole summer.

I disagree. I hate having to put on loads of layers of clothes, and then still ending up absolutely freezing or getting hit in the face with bitter wind.

Your feet still end up cold when you're at home, you're still freezing in the morning times when you get out of bed, or when you get out of the shower. Heating costs a bomb, and we cant all heat every room to a nice temp.

If you want to go outside for less a few minutes you have to spend 5 minutes getting on adequate layers of clothing, or else just sla pa quick jacket on and bear the freezing air.

When you're warm, you can wear very light clothing or go topless/wear shorts at home. The cold is painfully bitter, the heat is at least nice on your skin.

tldr: I despise cold, and hate when people say great, because I'm sick to the stomach of how cold this country is all year around.

my granny used to say only mad dogs and irish men go out in the midday sun

Jimmy Garlic · 07-07-2013 9:28pm

People in Ireland don't have domestic air conditioners for the most part, so when it does get hot here there is no escape unless you want to hang around the freezer aisle of your local supermarket all day.

Ruudi_Mentari · 07-07-2013 9:29pm

Why wouldn't you want evenings like this.

Have they overstayed their welcome; have they threatened to continue on into the next week, let alone winter.... I don't think so.

Reiketsu · 07-07-2013 9:30pm

I hate the heat as well. I took the dog for a walk this morning about 9:30am and ended up in the house until 6pm because I was feeling sick, had a headache etc. I keep well hydrated but that happens to me every time. I also have hay fever. This sort of weather is unbearable to me. Roll on winter, bet the people telling us not to whinge about us being too warm will be the first to whinge about them being too cold.

Ruudi_Mentari · 07-07-2013 9:33pm

Love all seasons, equally.

Now if only all seasons would reflect themselves equally.....

You can be damn sure I will!

Wacker The Attacker · 07-07-2013 10:09pm

Its great.

**** becomes sweatier

The_Valeyard · 07-07-2013 10:13pm

I welcome our new heat/sun overlords.

It makes a lovely change from the never ending winter we endured.

Long may this age of blue skies, high temps and short clothing last!

blingrhino · 07-07-2013 10:14pm

BBQ over , outside fire burning nicely and telling stories to the kids as MasterCard say - priceless .

Carnegie · 07-07-2013 10:15pm

theres a sh1te aul stretch in the evenings now, its dark already

Schwiiing · 07-07-2013 10:20pm

Any kinda hot weather generally lands me in the ****in bog with the ould lad and uncle. ****in scorched from head to toe and a severe inability to walk for 4-5 days afterwards. there isnt another country in the world retarded enough to cut turf. theres a special place in hell for whoever came up with the idea.

Well yeh, it's kinda standard to complain about cold, wet, windy, grey weather!
Why roll on winter? What about autumn when it's neither too warm nor too cold?

It's 10.20pm ffs - and it's not even pitch dark!

It's like 26 degrees there FFS. That's not, in any way shape or form, approaching hot

If it feels hot to a person... then it's hot to that person.

Ruudi_Mentari · 07-07-2013 10:28pm

Sultry. Arabian nights...

candy-gal1 · 07-07-2013 10:34pm

Seriously, we dont get weather like this during summer (or at all) in this country very much so even if your not mad on it just stay in the shade where possable, try to enjoy it, and make the most of it being like a proper summer! Sure we know it wont last all that long!

This morning/afternoon was uncomfortably humid/sweaty but with no sun which wasnt great, but yesterday and this evening was gorgeous!
Warm sunny weather like this makes you feel alive imho!

If you want to rid of your hay fever, smoke cannabis. Seriously, it works.

Tigerbaby · 07-07-2013 10:43pm

Bless this wonderful gift of heat and general lassitude. I feel like Im living in the Bayou. Its a frame of mind thing I guess. I can just picture something sultry happening. Such sexy weather.
