Fcuk sake wrong thread and I can't bloody delete it.

My bedroom gets the sun so it's like a sauna on a hot day like today, and no escaping the heat inside or outside. Had 3 cool showers today and still sweating. But it's cool outside right now, so sitting outside at this hour on the sun lounger to cool down.

Lived where it gets to over 100F almost every day in summer with extremely high humidity. Today reminded me of it, but also reminded me that I had a/c, which I don't have here. In fact, if a landlord let the indoor temp get as high as it has been here today for more than 24 hours without fixing the a/c, they would be in trouble and would have to provide alternative accommodation.

The counterintuitive thing is that even though it was roasting there, I was always nice and cool when inside because of the a/c, whereas here there is no relief at all, so it feels way hotter here even though it's at least 20F cooler.

For one of the first times ever, myself and missus have struck good booking a holiday and getting good weather.

We've taken the cloud, rain and/or chill with us to Spain, France, Italy, Australia, Tenerife at this stage.

So finally, this maybe the breaking of that run! Pity the hotel down here in Kerry isn't built for such heat. The rooms are like saunas.

I swear I must be one of the few Irish people who loves this kinda weather when it happens here.

Clear skies, great heat and a gentle breeze. I've spent the last two days in my backyard just basking in it

I couldnt get a tan if my life depended on it even i went shirtless for three months straight so this weather is wasted on me

Its an evaporative cooler. Search that online for more info on how it works. It wouldnt be something id fancy as the humidity levels in ireland are very high anyway. They are nicknamed a swamp cooler in the USA for a reason.

Yesterday evening the missus threw the child's buggy into the utility room and accidently clipped on the central heating. Was on for a good half hour until I came into the house and nearly melted!! Couldn't sleep with the heat in the place last night!

Streets in my local town are completely deserted. Either everybody is gone to beach or they all burned the arse of themselves yesterday and are sitting at home like a frazzled rigid ranchero crisp

Bought a portable AC unit maybe 10 years ago when the summers started to get hotter. Currently have the living room like an ice box and loving life. It only gets two or three weeks use total per year but it's hands down the best gadget I own.

Way to hot for me but indoors in an old stone built cottage is way cooler than being outside so guess where I am - yes sitting in front of a computer - in the cool

Its too hot ,but i suppose people like going to the beach, i hope it cools down in a few weeks, i think ireland now is as hot as spain.i just remember as a teen we might get 2-3 weeks of hot weather .20-25 degrees on average .

i think ireland will get warmer every year ,

in some american citys its very hot , heat records are being broken going back a 100 years .

Today has been for me the most perfect hot day I can remember. There is a cool breeze as well as being hot.

The town is deserted, prolly all gone to the beech etc, so the town park and other nice spots in the town are all fairly quite. Bliss.

I couldn't bear to get into a car to travel anywhere on a day like today, only to go somewhere with crowds. I'm even deliberately not watching RTE News these as they'll no doubt be showing video of said crowded places as they always do, with obligatory teenagers diving, warnings of some danger, and an estimate of when things are going to change for the worse.

I'm also not following the weather forecast because I just wish to enjoy the weather as it is today and not be concerned about what it's gonna be like tomorrow. One has learned not to have unrealistic expectations of Irish weather.

Hundreds of people on Killiney beach, the parking down there was depressing to see.... Cars backed up and people in them sweating to get a space so they could actually get on the beach.

Glad I was able to walk there and even be able to nip for a swift cider in the boozer as I walked hoe

Unfortunately living a beach town in North Dublin has become difficult since the 5km limit was lifted.None of these towns were hugely popular or much thought of, until the last few months.Crowds started to arrive the first weekend the 5km limit was lifted, and it has only got worse.Lots of people living here have given up on the beach at weekends because it's so crowded.Love where we live but I will be glad to see the back of the crowds.Eventually.

It's gonna be hot and wet!

That's nice if you're with a lady, but it ain't no good if you're in the jungle.

Maybe you should borrow one of these beasts from A Quiet Place II, they would keep the beach nice and quiet for you. :)

Accuweather had temperatures in Ennis today at 28c

In my house, the thermometer had the kitchen temperature as 31c and at about 7pm, the outdoor temperature reading was 32.5c in the shade

I know these are not official temperatures and my particular garden is south facing with a large patio that is a heat trap, but it was very very hot for us today

And the house is not in any way equipped for this weather. Every single window is wide open but not making much of a difference. Kids are sleeping practically naked with blankets off tonight
