    Packing grease cleans easier in these temps.

    I think it's just super :)

    I was working in Malta one year and it hit 43 degrees, that was miserable.

    The current weather is superb, warm, dry, ideal to sit out and just enjoy :)

    But there's an in-between.

    This is hilarious, it was 37 degrees at the peak of the heatwave we had in Germany last week/the week before. THAT is hot. Especially when none of the buildings have air-conditioning.

    In Ireland we're not used to warmth though, plus it can be quite humid here.

    I'm not complaining by the way - even if at times I find it a bit too close and the pollen affects me, I'd still prefer it infinitely to the unseasonably cold weather a few weeks ago.

    Yeah sure don't I know :D

    I just mean, 20-22 degrees? That's nice, but it's not hot. Warm for Ireland, but definitely not unknown to occur.

    It's the Irish thing to whine like a hungry mongrel about the weather. A few years ago I was in a doctors reception room and these two oul wans were whinging about the "hot" weather at the time. They continued by discussing their upcoming holidays. One was going to "Torreymalinnnaaas" with her assorted brood and was looking forward to the sunshine and nice weather... At that point high speed lead injected euthanasia was looking very bloody good.

    Shut up whingin' for feck sake. It's summer, with green on the trees and sun in the sky(when it deigns to make an appearance). All too soon it'll be misery inducing November with drizzle and bruised skies and pissy wind. There's no pleasing some people. Harrrumph! :mad::D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    It's an "Irish thing" to moan about Irish people giving out about the weather tbh. Irish weather is sh-t - hardly heinous to complain about it when it's bad.

    I don't think the people who don't like humidity are the same people who moan about miserable weather - and even if they were, so what? It's still possible to dislike both.

    It didn't even get near that. Not in Dublin. High today was 18 and that was for an hour. Mostly it was 15-17. It's 13 now. At 10 pm.

    That's warm for April. It's normal for June. Even in Ireland.

    BUT THERE IS NOTHIING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT TODAY! It's neither hot nor especially humid.

    My weather app says it's 67% humidity. Which is low. It feels cool.

    Funny I was thinking this morning that we haven't really had sticky humidity yet. Although august tends to be the worst month for that.

    To some people it is - especially in non air-conditioned offices and on buses. Might depend where you are in the country too. I'm finding it warmer than usual too - definitely felt quite humid from last Friday on. But it's lovely in fairness.
    But if people find it uncomfortable though, that's their prerogative. It can't be said that they're used to it, in fairness.

    I am in Spain. It was 41 degrees Saturday and not a breath of air. The sun was so hot it was like standing beside a fire. I thought I would pass out at one stage. When I got back to the apartment in the evening I was like a lobster that had an allergic reaction and then been cheesegrated. Very unpleasant weather for a freckly Irish person.

    A balmy 29 for most of today!

    I too am one of those wacky folk that loves Irish weather as it normally is. I love rain and strong winds. You feel so comfortable and toasty when you're inside work/college on a really cold day looking out the window.

    Heat to me (anything over 14 degrees) just is uncomfortable

    Feck sake. Couldn't even leave the windows open at night here last week, didn't get below 20 degrees at any point for a good 4 days at least.

    I'M IRISH, like, I'm not used to that at all!

    I think it's an Irish thing to complain about those who are complaining about those who are complaining about those who are complaining about the weather.




    All I care about is that it holds up so I don't have to dig out my wintery clothes again (which I've packed away) when I visit next month! Hold up, Irish weather. Hold up!

    I'm like a lizard on a rock.

    I was cycling in 40 degrees last year.

    Love the sun, love the heat and listening to good music cycling more than sex. The ultimate ride that can go on for hours.

    Sun is shining, the weather is sweet yeah !

    It was cloudy here on Saturday. I walked about 14 or 15 miles and it was nice and relaxing. I walked the same distance today and now I look like a beetroot.

    I wonder if people here have ever been abroad to a "warm" country at all.

    Today was pleasant at best, it is by no means warm.

    Ah yes. And when it rains in Somalia they mention how wet it is in Ireland.

    It bloody well was warm today! Or else my back garden's just a sun-trap.
    I was out in the back garden all day, slapping on the sun-cream and actually sweating. The sun was in full force and I even had to take shade, it was that hot.
    Don't care about you lot saying "But it's not even that warm", cos it WAS warm in my back garden. Bloody roasting and my shoulder got burned too, so ner.

    I for one will never be in a warm country today was warm enough for me. The kids are at an age now and asking to go to Spain cause all their friends are going. God the thought of laying all day on a beach doing nothing would drive me mad, The sooner the warm weather goes the better next door neighbour all 20 stone of him prancing about in shorts and him burnt pure red Dont get me wrong great neighbours but could do without looking at his beer belly all day
