What temperature can Irish people truly enjoy?

I mean, I absolute start to bake at any temperature above 25C. I have to be near or in cool water to cope.

But I hear people on holidays saying it's a "lovely" 30C+. That to me is just too much. Without air-con, it's unbearable. I also cant sleep on foreign holidays if it's mid-20s at night. And cities are even worse. Anything above 25C in a city is oven-like.

My optimum warm temperature is probably 22C-23C and a few clouds in the blue sky.

Between 20-23 for me is heaven in summer. I've been to Cyprus & Florida that were 40 and it was sickening.

After winter I love 14 +.

Nothing better than a warm spring sun on the face to bring a smile to my face.

28 for me

Winter: 3-6c
Spring: 15-18c
Summer: 18-20c
Autumn: (unless it's November 2010....) 13-15c

Its all about the humidity and wind really. A cold +3c with a 25mph wind and humidity in the high 80s is horrific when compared to say the -14c we had on Christmas morning 2010.

In Paris a few years ago and was shocked to learn that it was 30c or 31c, felt more like a 22c or 23c here on a summers day.

So, it's not just the temperature.

Humidly is the killer here. 20 and a light northerly is heaven for me. 25 and a east/southerly is hell!

Christmas morning 2010 was beautiful! :eek::eek:. Now you're actually making me sad because I miss that Christmas so much.

Between 19-23 degrees I reckon.

Well I guess I'm not Irish

Its really down to each individual. While I know some real sun worshippers, I suffer badly with an Irish summer, never mind a hot country. If it's a cloudless day or there is high humidity I avoid leaving the house. Dawn and dusk are my friends.

I'm at my happiest around October, temps 8-13 degrees. I'm a wuss

Can we expect a British invasion of somewhere remote in the next decade now???

30*C in the Summer
-30*C in the Winter

I would like Northeast USA's climate.

Low 20s to mid 20s is fine.
When it gets to around 30C in Ireland, it takes a while to get use to it, and I rather have a siesta and enjoy the early morning and late evening.

27C, retirement to the land where the rain don't fall cannot come quick enough.

I find it depends on wind speeds for me.
So in calm wind anything from 16c to 23c is good. But with wind its more like 20c - 25c.

Unless your at the beach, in which case 23-30+ is what I would want, ie july 2013
