    There's a very simple solution to this. Rob a bank and move to Svalbard.

    Back in March, we had a night where it was 29°, a record for a March night apparently. Window open, fan on, door open, nude (which is an uncomfortable thing to have to do in a hostel) and no blankets. Try sleeping in that.

    Light a fire.

    Open a window?

    Open two windows - Bernoulli effect + evaporation/cooling process = best you can do for free.

    Just checked the weather for Dublin, it's 9 degrees. Sure that's a winters day temp, how is it too hot to sleep?!

    It's 8pm where I am and still 33C

    Hard to ride in this heat.

    Lose weight?

    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 was awful warm last night, took my jammies off in my sleep, tossed the covers off, had a window open, had a pillow wall down the middle of the bed to keep him away from me, and still kept waking up feeling a bit over heated. Lovely cold shower this morning though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,633 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    What heat is it that people are talking about?

    A comfortable 20 degrees during the day and 10 at night. That is not hot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,590 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    The cover had to come off the Duvet,it's lying on the floor like a steaming pile of radioactive waste.Much cooler without it.

    It really is just about the perfect temperature now for me. And we have no humidity.

    I could not be living in a country that gets to above 30degrees with humidity.

    I was in Las Vegas years ago and it was touching 50 degrees and was really humid. I have not complained about the heat in ireland since!

    Vegas is crazy hot but Florida in the summer is the most moist place on earth! Place is basically a roasting hot swamp.

    Just buy a small fan.

    A bowl of ice in front of a fan makes pretty effective air conditioning apparently.

    If this heatwave keeps up and the winds switch to southerly you'll know about it.

    How about 15c and high humidity?

    Yeah, but you don't have to take the mattress out to dinner.

    Apparently, it takes people about 3 weeks to adapt to heat.. I used to be dying if it was 20c but now, I'm fairly grand at 35c. 40c is taking the piss though.

    Humidity is really important though and I'm a believer in the "Real Feel" Index. Where I am, it's 37c or real feel 47c. All of that stuff I have to do can wait until after the summer.

    Met herself the last day around 5 o clock, jesus christ the ****ing heat, there is a reason the spanish are indoors at that time.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,960 ✭✭✭Dr Crayfish


    I was actually cold cycling to work this morning, and there was a dude walking around Fairview Park with his top off in a pair of shorts. It was freezing!
    The worst I've experienced was in Perth, Australia. It was 35c at midnight. Lying in the bedroom was like being in a hot sauna. Impossible to sleep unless you were drunk!

    AC at around 27 does the trick for me.. Were you using one?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,633 ✭✭✭✭murpho999

    Air con set to 27 degrees?

    That's very warm.

    It's 8 degrees cooler than 35... Would feel like a cool breeze.

    Even so, a room at 18-20 degrees is what you want and they recommend less for sleeping.

    You wouldn't set a room to 27 degrees in an Irish Winter
