Where is our summer?

I was cold today and i don't think i was the only cold person as i saw others wearing hoodies.

I'm using a hot water bottle as I type this.

Is anyone else the same?

It's lovely. For a nocturnal creature such as myself who turns to dust at the mere sight of that yellow sphere of pain, I am most comfortable.

Other things which are missing;
Frizzy hair
Sweaty back from car
Puffing and panting
No suitable clothes
Not being an easy breezy summer girl
Not being able to sleep

Summer is here and it's pretty much average for Ireland.
Why do everyone think it'll be a 2 month heatwave? That never happens..

Your Face

You're living in Ireland yeah?

I agree. Every summer it's the same complaining. This is the climate we have.

What you using a hot water bottle for OP? :cool:

Sure the evenings are drawing in now.

Next thing you know, The Rose of Tralee will be on and we'll be back to school and back to being sent to bed as soon as the Glenroe credits start to roll

Yep! It wasn't because it was good that I didn't want it to end!!

The Moldy Gowl

You live in Ireland. Stop being a moany gowl.

The weather here is excellent. My sweaty balls will be glad to see the back of any blistering heat.

Give me grey and overcast any day over 30 degrees heat.

Sir Osis of Liver.

All we're missing is that sideways rain to make it a proper Irish summer.

Alf Veedersane

If you were cold today you need to go to the doctor. You probably have The AIDS.

The bad kind?

We live in a country with wildly unpredictable summers.

Why this is still a grey area of knowledge for most is strange.

It's hardly cold. T-shirt weather today, and all week.

It's normal temperatures for the time of year. We have just had a couple of unseasonably good weather. It's normal weather for the time of year.

July and August are always our better "summer" months.

Man up. It's far from cold.

Probably.

Beat case scenario is touch and go.

But then that's maybe what has you feeling cold today....

Lads here reckon if it keeps up they'll get a second cut end of August
Any way it's been t shirt weather since end of April any one going around in hoodies and the like need to get their circulation checked out. Feckin Jessie's!!!!

I just cannot understand how so many people are so easily "freezing" in a climate like that of this country.

First cut of silage done!

I've been going around in t-shirts for over a month. Nothing else, just a t-shirt - I've been arrested four times and banned from Tesco.

June is usually the worst month of summer - it's pretty straightforward

May - starts wobbly but settles down into fine weather, Exams start week of hot weather leading into
June - second week it all falls apart and stays unsettled until a fine 7-10 days in early
July prompting another rash of rashes and builders cleavage horror (and that's just the gurls) but once again it breaks down until in
August things start to settle down nicely from the 10th-12th day taking us right through to the return of school in
September and dew on the grass in the mornings and the Irish National Hot Air Ballooning Championships - the conclusion of which will mark the end of the fine weather and the start of Autumn proper.

Women.

They could be on the surface of the sun and they'd still complain about it being a bit chilly.

As a woman I still have to grudgingly concede that.

I was brought up in a really cold house so I am one of the few hardier ones!

it was all through may, you missed it! :)

It's barely above 20 degrees here in California in the evenings. I've heard a number of people complaining about how chilly it is and there being a nip in the air. Seriously.

I can not get over the obsession with the weather in this country. It's the same every year, you've gone through this every year of your life, surely you're used to it by now. If you want sun, go to Spain.
There's no such thing as bad weather, just poor clothes choices.

Gwynplaine

Or as the Americans would put it, "June 25th"
It makes no sense at all. Month/day/year.

Always seems to come as a shock to people, why I don't know. Our climate is cool summers mild winters with lots of wind and rain which contribute to making things feel even cooler. Thats the type of weather most common in ireland so I don't see why it surprises people every season of every year

I agree with all except the last sentence - of course there is such thing as bad weather!
