Who likes this weather

I've been sweating like a pig all summer long. I see people walking around wearing hoodies and jackets. What kind of people are these? Who likes sweating in this weather?

June was cold. Properly cold. And this month has been warmer but still nothing special. There’s been a handful of hot, sunny days. Where are you, OP?

Personally I like it. But I wouldn't get too uptight over the dress sense of others. Life, and the good weather, is too short for such mundane things.


Edit: Is this going to be another of your threads where you open it but then fail to discuss any further.

Its been a miserable summer IMHO, but that doesn't mean we haven't had miserable hot days. The worst kind, where there is no sun, a measly but persistent bit of rain, muggyness/density. I see it in everyones' faces.

Not a fan of the damp heat we usually get in Ireland. A dry heat in the low 30s can be quite pleasant. Humid heat in the 20s is disgusting.

I like my air local where it is delivered crisp and fresh; thanks. You can keep your african imports.

I look forward to winter. Hate this weather. Sweating is unpleasant. At least with winter we have control of our temperature.

Wibbs

I bloody love it.

TheShow

Love the heat, wish there was more of it. Get rid of the mugginess though.
I see people in coats, jumpers, scarves etc? It’s incomprehensible to me. Are they making maggots or something?

Gosh we really are a miserable bunch here no matter the weather someone will always find a reason to complain it's always too hot, too cold, too wet or too grey for someone. The weather is fine at the moment.

I've said it a million times, Irish people only seem able to operate in a temperature range of about 12 to 18 degrees. Anything below that is "freezing" and anything above might as well be the fires of hell itself. And they have no idea how to dress for either "extreme". I'll never understand it.

While the afternoons can be a bit “intense”, I find the long, warm, evenings to be glorious.

15 degrees is just right, not too hot and not too cold.

There seems to be huge variants of weather in Ireland this Summer judging by some of the weather threads ??
I live on the East coast 5 minutes from beaches so I think it’s been a beautiful warm Summer so far .......although June was bad. Then again I’ve been to Leitrim, Sligo, Donegal and Antrim in the last month and I got dry warm sunny days in all of the above , not wall to wall sunshine but intermittent . I like it that way . I’m active and hike a lot and too much heat saps my energy.

Having said that I adore late Summer and early Autumn, the changing light, changing colors, different smell, different feelings around that time of year. I love picking berries and apples , thinking of getting sticks and logs for the fire in October. I even like when the evenings close in a bit. But I hate Christmas time ! There you go , we’re all a bit weird !

I think we’re lucky to live in a part of the world that has seasons and the changes they bring. All part of glorious nature that’s around us.

As a ginger, I dread every summer, but welcome winter with open arms. It's easier to warm up than it is to cool down.

I have a busy life and forget to come back to what I started.

Given it took a while to pick up. I had it taken for granted that nobody likes it

It's the mugginess and no sun. I know there might not be sun but it's still hot and humid. I don't understand the jumpers and coats though. Saw a fella getting into his car wearing a hoodie. Anytime I sat into a car in the summer time has always been like a sauna. Why the hoodie as well.

Home for the weekend. It was 41c in Eindhoven yesterday. I love this weather.

Temperatures in June were, on average, three degrees below the norm this year.

It's the hoodie/puffa jacket and shorts brigade I don't get. Do we have some unique sort of microclimate where it's warm enough for shorts but cold enough to require a jacket???

Temperatures were between 13 and 23 degrees. Even at 13, that was hot.

Irish people welcoming the mugginess of an african air? It’s all coming together now

One day at 23, only four others above 20. The 13 was 5 degrees below the average for that date.


And 13 is most certainly not hot. 13 is the average for late October and late March.

The people about those different things might not be the same people though.

Gimme rain, thunder and lightning over sunny skies any day! I LOVE it.

They often are. Have a look at the weather forum. The same people bemoaning wind and rain, complaining about the heat and the midges. While others are reviling in the crisp cool weather and loving the heat too.

It's all about context, if you're working hot weather is a pain if you're not it's brilliant.

As am I. Looking at the records for June, there were a lot of days where the top temperature didn’t rise above the low teens. Dublin hit 23 degrees on one day but that was not representative of the month. One day had a maxima of 11 degrees, 3 days had a maxima of 12 degrees. For June, a maxima of 11 or 12 is truly piss poor. Many more days the highest temperature was only 14, 15 or 16. There was a few 17s and 18s. Those temperatures are absolutely shít for midsummer. Sure, we can get 14 or even 15 in December and January.

Actually, I find that the weather forum generally seems to love extremes of weather. The more heat or snow, the better. I wouldn’t blame anyone bemoaning wind and rain, would you? It’s depressingly frequent after all.

We have a few days of good weather and people complain, it's one of the weirdest things in the world. No matter where you are in Ireland the scenery is miles better when there's good weather. In winter is cold, rainy and depressing. Winter is sh**e

Ireland is probably one of the most comfortable areas of Europe right now.

The weather over 20 here can be hard to handle if you are sick or have any health issues but it's really the humidity that kills here even the breeze is warm the rain showers on Sunday felt like an actual shower warm water not scalding just tepid

It’s a really full on humid one and with the onset of dusk it’s still really heavy, all the windows open here but I’m not optimistic of getting to sleep too fast.
