What Are Your Plans For This Heatwave?

Now that the anticipated heat wave has started what precautions will you be taking or will you just spend the duration of the heat wave down by the beach and soaking up the long awaited sun? With temperatures expected to reach between 28c to 30c Wednesday and Thursday i will be spending a lot of time indoors as i would find the heat too extreme.

Looks like everyone else is outside already!

Foweva Awone · 23-06-2018 04:59PM

I don't like sunshine. Would ideally spend the next week inside with the curtains drawn watching Netflix; alas real life calls. Won't be spending any more time outside than strictly necessary though.

I may have been a vampire in a past life.

Life as usual here. Avoiding the hottest hours and being sensible about it. Nothing different here; watering the plants well...

Sunscreen, keeping my fruit, veg and plants alive like myself with extra liquid, managing my water supply due to the well going dry.

RikkFlair · 23-06-2018 05:37PM

I panic bought a BBQ,beer,wine,Ice cubes and a trampoline and went to Dunnes anxiously hoping there would be burger buns and lettuce
For the next few days I shall repeatedly say its hot and how Ireland is beautiful in this weather
Sometime towards next weekend I shall start saying when will we get a break from it, this will coincide with RTE reports with regards drought conditions and how the farmers aren't happy.
I expect on Monday to be getting aloe vera sun burn cream from the chemist and applying it to my arms which will be burnt up to my t-shirt mark.
All the cars that have Air con will be driven around with the windows down and people complaining as to how the Air conditioning isn't even keeping them cool.
Hose pipe bans will be introduced but ill ignore them to wash my car.
I'll toss and turn at night complaining that I can't sleep all the windows will be open during the night and i'll still complain there's not a breath of air there.
I'll stand in the ice cream cone queue that will be a common feature in most garages
I'll wear sunglasses that don't suit me and shorts that will match my Lidl sandals that I bought in November for just such a situation,I still haven't used the trumpet and chainsaw from that particular Lidl visit.
Then in roughly 7 to 8 days or so the rains will appear they will be welcomed with open arms and within an hour of this I will miss the heatwave that we just had,we will reminisce about it and compare it to our childhood summers and comment that they were hotter then.

Plenty of sun cream and ice cream. You can't beat the aul 99.

Reads like the lyrics of a song.

Argos are selling electric fans in large quantities.

Nights will get muggy. Houses locked up all day will be like saunas.

A great time for beverage and ice cream manufacturers.

corner of hells · 23-06-2018 06:38PM

I shall be setting multiple gorse fires all round Howth , Dublin Mountains and any other area I feel needs a dose of arson.

Agent Coulson · 23-06-2018 06:40PM

Melt get sunburn drink to much and get massive headaches.

I bought 3 fans today just in anticipation. I know in Europe in really hot conditions many old people die. I'd advise all people to check in on their elderly neighbours.

I suffer from heat intolerance due to a medical condition. Hopefully I won't end up in hospital. Already needed treatment a few weeks ago and this is forecast to be worse. I'll be sitting in front of a fan with the curtains pulled. Thankfully I'm on holiday for the next couple of weeks.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 23-06-2018 06:51PM

Watering the garden, drinking plenty, taking early morning walks and generally making the most of it.

Ush1 · 23-06-2018 06:53PM

I did a load of work in the garden, cleared the shed and gonna do more work tomorrow. Hopefully fit a BBQ in as well!

zapitastas · 23-06-2018 06:55PM

Will get a pair of tight shorts, like the English squad ones in Italia 90, lie out on a longer drinking beer and watch my belly getting redder and redder over the week

SEPT 23 1989 · 23-06-2018 06:56PM

Hopefully the government will do the right thing and issue a red warning so we can enjoy the few days

naughtysmurf · 23-06-2018 06:57PM

Done a bit of weeding out the back this morning before it became to hot, after lunch stripped off, slapped on some P20 & enjoyed a couple of Cuba Libre, same tomorrow except for the weeding

EPAndlee · 23-06-2018 07:02PM

Avoid as much sun as possible also make sure the dog has plenty of shade
