    Mix drink into the equation and it turns people into animals.

    Was in a well-known seaside village yesterday thats famous for its laid-back atmosphere and by 1am there were running battles on the main street between gangs of teenagers throwing bottles at each other and I saw one guy being kicked unconscious by a group of ****ers who had completely lost control.

    If you see bunches of lads with no tops on carrying bags of cans you just know there will be trouble.

    Drink and sun..a bad mix.

    I really struggle in warm weather. 18 degrees+ is usually too much for me. I wish it wasn't that way but it drains me completely. So I stay inside when I can.

    I'll probably be lynched but by fook I hate it. I've absolutely no tolerance for heat.Being super pale and sun don't mix.
    Definitely an Autumn/Winter person.

    I wouldn't be out much at this time of day in the heat but at around 7 this evening I'll get the bike out and go for a long cycle in the sunshine when it's cooler.

    I get surburnt easily as well so try to avoid that after ending up looking like a lobster a few times.

    I love a nice sunny day....from a distance.

    As long as I'm not trapped outside with the sun beating down on me, the sunny weather is lovely. Leave me inside, or give me a shady spot outside, low humidity, and a cool drink and I'm happy. Put me outside, not dressed for the sun/no hat or suncream, stuck out there with limited access to shade and I'm like a briar.

    I have a lung condition and don't find it easy to walk too far most days but when it's hot I struggle even more. I'm more easily dehydrated which aggravates my lungs. My chronic sinusitis flares up, I lose too much salt anyway so in this weather I taste like a chip and I'm fatigued due to salt loss, and I find it hard to breathe if it's humid. So, all in all, unless I'm sitting down somewhere in the shade wearing light clothing, I don't much like how it makes me feel. I have to work tomorrow and I am dreading it.

    I'm glad you lot are turning up the heat for me coming back in a few weeks.

    It's great for the economy. I hope people are out there spending money, enjoying the banterz agus craic and stuff.

    Me? The sun in my face feels like someone is sticking their wet finger in my ear. Except there's no one I can punch in the face to make it stop.

    A bit of heat gets all the pigeon walking skangers out to Costa Del Dun Laoghaire with their flaggins and Celtic jersey off and tucket into the Dublin GAA shorts.

    So no, fcuk the heat.

    Same problems for Portmarnock.

    I enjoy it, actually.
    Which is funny because back home I used to absolutely, totally and utterly detest summer. But in Germany, summer meant stiflingly humid 30+ degrees - sunshine so strong you'd feel it like someone pushing you, and no chance to sleep at night as the temperatures didn't drop much. For about 3 months straight.

    So a bit of sunshine here, and temperatures around 20 degrees with a lovely breeze is just right. Saying that, I managed to get sunburned today.

    The thermo might have been in direct sunlight. Which is obviously not where it should be.

    Cracking bit if heat. Wish we got more of it, especially on the weekends


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,202 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    Just to know that there was one month or so a year where this weather was more than likely and people would be definitely happier..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,059 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    Spent the day at my mother's house with her and other family, going for walks on the farmland and playing football with kids.

    Great day, but I am absolutely wrecked. As soon as I got home I put a beer in the freezer, and just opened it now.

    Christ it's good.

    Only downside to this heat is the rotten smell of feet around the place. Sandals and flip flops should be banned.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,199 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    I'm enjoying the cool down now.

    I don't like humidity. Who does? Some people are better at coping with high humid temps than others. Good luck to them. I hate it.

    I can cope with high temps in Spain for example. But that is dry desert like heat. It is so uncomfortable here by comparison even if it is ten degrees lower.

    But it's great to see people happy and enjoying the sun. It is rare enough here!

    Can't wait until this sun and heat f**ks off so I can bemoan the loss of the sun and heat.
