Will this heat wave last much longer?

Tiredgirl23

I know it's terrible to complain about good weather in Ireland, but I'm not coping very well with the high temperatures. I have not slept since last weekend. I'm pale and skinny, the sweating is not helping my weight Will the heat last much longer?

Im trying to sleep here and the humidity is evil. Dont mind the good weather and all but could we not get a bit of a draught at night, please?

MrFrisp

I'd say it depends on what part of the Country your in.

If your up North direction,,you may have a bit of cooling for a few days. If your down South,it's going to stay warm enough.

Looks like getting back to hot weather again towards the latter half of the week to come though.

No end in sight at the moment.

Sleep in your birthday suit, it helps.

I am not gone on the heat, would like some rain to freshen things up a bit, and help my well, not great having to spare water when one feels like having a shower...

Ireland's weather shouldn't have to adapt just to accommodate your problems, you're not that important. If you're skinny, buy a bag of protein and mix it with milk before you lift weights - it'll will thicken your body up. Exercising during the day will help you sleep better at night.

Also, skinny people feel the heat less, but if you have issues with temperatures in the mid-20s, then you should get an air conditioner because temperatures this high are common enough in Ireland.

A bit Nietzsche that!

Lifting weights? she's not a fitness freak (as I suspect you must be) these temps are not common.

You said it before me.A very ignorant post in reply to someone asking a genuine question.

I thoroughly enjoy this weather. Last night I did not sleep so well due to coastal fog which greatly increased the humidity levels.
As we rarely get weather of this kind in Ireland , one night of interrupted sleep is a very small price to pay.
Bright sunshine thia am & already at 25C! Roll on this gorgeous weather:D

Can anyone remember when it last rained? I must admit that it's difficult to sleep and sometimes difficult to stay anywhere but in the shade, but I absolutely love this weather.

I really don't understand people wishing the good weather to end. It's been 8 years since we had weather like it so can everyone not just enjoy it?

What constitutes "good" weather is down to the individual, not everyone can enjoy these conditions.
The weather will do what the weather will do anyway, no matter what peoples hopes and wishes are (unless we get into weather manipulation, but that's for a whole other thread!).

The Weight-watchers jokes never get old, I've probably just lost water weight. This is a weather thread, but I do excercise. Thanks for the replies regarding my actual question, I'll invest in a good fan

Thunderstorms would be lovely, make the heat a bit more interesting.

Some people dont like having to shower after every time they go outside and finding it difficult to sleep. Then theres the sunburn.

As long as its not too warm and not raining Im happy. How is that any different to someone who likes the temperature to be above 20 degrees?

charlietheminxx

It's beautiful!! Sunburn won't happen if you look after your skin properly so that's a moot point (although I'm amazed at how many people don't bother, that's a rant for another day).

The heat has side effects we just aren't used to! Sleep in your undies with a sheet over you, keep the window open and buy a fan is needs be.

But jayzus, go to the beach or have a bbq or something. It won't last forever so enjoy it!

I think picture should be posted too!

But more seriously, as we have not had weather like this for many a year, we simply are not acclimatised to it and it can affect some people quite badly.

Drink loads of really cold water and even put a few large bottles into the freezer and at night place them in your room. Have a cool shower / bath just before turning in helps too.

Having windows in house open on both sides of the house will give a cooling draught at night too - keep lights off to avoid moths etc coming in.

It only rained once in the last two years that I can remember......

......Long shower though, cos it lasted two years

In this weather I am surviving (I don't do well in heat) on these, which really are the business for cooling down...

Hope it never ends, all the sweating while I'm in work under a sky light for 9 hours a day is worth it for being able to enjoy the sun in the evenings for sleep, no clothes or underwear, bottle of water next to the bed, windows open and I'm sorted

Just cos it's good weather to you, doesn't mean it's good weather for everyone. I listen to people complaining about the cold all winter long, and I love that weather, it's not cold enough for me.

The weather for the next two weeks 14 days. Its never going to end. I love the sun, but i would not mind one cool day (with rain even)

zenno

I'm an iceman, always was. 3 c is my favourite temperature not cold not warm just perfect for me. -15 can make me giddy as the air is so fresh.

I personally function best at cold temperatures. In really cold weather my friends and family can't handle the cold and whine all day every day of it, but i do be wearing a tee-shirt and shorts and i'm always nice and cool.

The heat here now is not for everyone, same goes with the cold.

If u wear sun cream ur skin will grand and if kick ur bedclothes off

I slept out in the back garden last night on one of those foldy-up beds and i have to say it was really nice, no covers just the bed, i should do it more often as it's great sleeping in the outdoors.

My mam does that when she can't handle the heat, she prefers cold weather. It's a great idea!

It's definitely nice i have to say, well that is if the mosquitoes don't bother you. My garden is like a mini forest so it has that air of really sleeping out in a real forest, i'd recommend sleeping out-doors to anyone that can't stand the humidity. You just can't beat it.

I refuse to give out about this weather as its so rare . I'm not a sun worshipper type but I love looking out at the blissful sunshine .

But it's the well that I have an issue with too. We bought our house with well. Have been here for 13yrs never ran out of water . But husband is panicking and muttering about water conservation etc.

So I'm guessing the answer is 'no ' but is there there any way of knowing the well capacity ?

I agree.

Well the temperature here in swords co. Dublin is 19 c and there is a lovely breeze now so it feels so much more bearable, actually nice compared to the humidity lately. :cool:

Well I never... aren't you the lucky one, i have a pool but it is 1 foot wide on both sides for the fish but i was thinking of trying to fit my big self into it but was un-successful.
