Wrong. Look it up. Summer officially starts on June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere.

When GAA fans are everywhere, and you know that each town they're in is more colourful on that day/weekend that it will ever be again in the year.

It's like that in the US alright. In Ireland it starts 1 May. Many other countries its 1 June.

He's correct. Summer in Ireland begins on the feast of Bealtaine, 1 May. Most people know and accept this, just as they know and accept the start dates of the other three seasons in Ireland's culture and tradition.

Some people wear sunglasses to protect their eyes from the sun. Shocking, I know.

So you think February is Spring then? Why does every other country in Europe think otherwise?

Clearly, you're not Irish if you really don't know that La 'Le Bhríde/St Brigid's Day/1 February is the start of spring in Irish tradition, a tradition that lives on in modern Ireland. Even if you went to national school here you'd know that because you would have made the Brigid's Cross on that day.

This is just one of those things that only non-Irish people can deny exist.

Some growth begins in February, so yeah.

In colder countries that probably doesn't happen.

There is burned skin everywhere cause it's not going last so everyone tries to cram a whole summer into a few days and end up looking like lobsters. Painful.

Tradition can bend down and blow it's self,I'm sticking with science.

In certain parts you are subjected to seeing this

You know it's Summer in Ireland when it starts raining. The sun comes later. Then the advent of Autumn is triggered by yet more rain.

In fact, come to think of it, you know it's Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter when it starts raining.

Yeah, but when you see them with them on proudly in shopping centres with their trolly and anywhere else indoors it's the height of bullsh*t....they all tend to have absolute sour heads on them too.

Great, although judging by your misplaced punctuation marks you're not much into the 'science' of sentence writing. At any rate, I'm sure you don't have a traditional name, have a family tradition or have any other connection with any tradition. Right, 247893?

Then why is the summer solstice also known as Midsummer (not Start-Of-Summer)?




Actually, I haven't really believed in seasons for many years. I've lost the faith...

It's more like all the customers go into shops on about nothing but the weather and piss off the staff who are stuck inside all day.

hehe. I love going into shops on hot days and looking at some desperate-looking sweaty article behind the counter and saying to her "Isn't it shocking that you're in here on such a gorgeous day?... I've never seen weather as great as this... Jaysas, this must be the best day of the year...."

That "fúck off out of here with yourself you little bollocks" smile just makes my day as I saunter off without buying anything.

I'm just trying to assist you in your complete rejection of tradition by presenting a few numbers rather than a name, which usually is based upon a tradition, to you.

When lobster is the "must have" colour to be seen in

Pumpkinseeds

When you've just had a shower but need another shower after dripping in sweat from blowdrying your hair.

When the local scumbags are a deep shade of brown from laying in the sun, tanning themselves every day while drinking and or getting stoned. They can usually be spotted shirtless and displaying various republican tattoos, for some reason. Still, it was childrens allowance last week so I suppose there's extra cash available for the important things like cider/dutch gold.

When many people are wearing synthetic fibre clothes, leaving a stench of stale BO in the air, especially when your on a bus.

When you swelter in bed at night and get up in the morning feeling more tired than you did when you got into bed.

when you start seeing boobs everywhere.....aahhh boobs...glorious boobs

Science - the three brightest months of the year are summer, three darkest winter & those in between spring/autumn.

In a country with weather like ours you couldn't be basing it off temperature. Not very scientifically anyway
