The car thermometre registered 25 degrees today at one point, guess if Bud wasn't just p*ss they owed us some. It was ridiculously hot today. Has been for weeks, without the beautiful 20+ degrees sun and cool evenings of summer 95. Ah, now THAT was some summer. It hit 32 degrees in Wexford, second highest on record apparently. My pony fell on his knees while the farrier was trying to shoe him.

Ah tell me where you are so I can warm my hands on your glow

Warm here too.

Really? Where are you?

it's actually not that cold, my testes have not assumed an uptight defensive posture you might say my scrote is supple and smooth as a the bread of a burrito, undulating, positively bulging with content however I see not foaming camel toe.. which would be an apt indicator that summer has indeed arrived!

Not that a man of my ilk would be looking, chortle!

Its very annoying that so many people these days thing that an odd hot day here and there (about 5 in total) was a nice summer, Bring back summer 1995, 03 and 06 had real hot spells too.

One of the reasons I moved to Ireland was for the summers - the UK just got too summery at that time of year. Grey cloud and drizzle suit me just fine. I'm quite fond of the winters too, because I have a soft spot for horizontal rain.

Btw...is it autumn already? When did that happen then? Sometimes it's like I'm speaking a different language (see 'met' in another thread, which I am still not understanding). Is it autumn for real now then?

Darkginger · 07-08-2011 12:06AM

Duplicate nonsense.

FTGFOP · 07-08-2011 03:08PM

Met's the Meteorological office/service, if that's what you mean.

I don't like horizontal rain. It is the worst kind of rain.

Average Irish summer is average.

bnt · 15-08-2011 11:44PM

"It's A Stinker" - officially:

Official data shows that the summer's top temperatures haven't been so chilly for 46 years -- with forecasters branding the summer "a stinker".

I am afraid of next Irish autumn/winter...

Does anybody have at home one of those antidepressing/fake sun lamps (not tanning ) Thinking about getting one, but dont know where to look. I really dont want to let lack of sun make me feel down again.

amacca · 15-08-2011 11:53PM

I was told earlier this summer it doesn't rain all the time here and that statistically speaking we are drier than other countries:eek:

could have fookin fooled me...nearly every single bloody day there has been some form of rain

drizzly rain, torrential rain, showery rain, rainy rain, spitting rain, cyclonic rain, convectional rain, pissing rain, stormy rain

rain rain rain rain rain...just fook off for three or four continuous days that's all I'm asking you wet droplety b@stards!

then come back so the crops dont fail obviously:o

Mickeroo · 16-08-2011 12:10AM

This summer's been pretty dry overall in comparison to the previous 3 I thought. The land fairly parched up until a week or so ago, it's not been a sunny summer but it's not been a articularly wet one. Maybe I'm only remembering the good times though

Cee-Jay-Cee · 16-08-2011 12:28AM

It depends on what part of the country your in, here in the north/north west its been a miserable ****ty wet summer, i can only remember 3 or 4 of days where we had no rain. There were days that started nice and sunny but it usually clouded over by lunch time and was raining by late afternoon. The last good summer was 95 and the one before that was 84...all the rest have been poor on average. We now really only have one season, winter...it basically rains all year round, the only thing that changes is the temperature and at times if you didnt already know you couldnt tell the difference between november/december and april/may!

April was scorchio this year iirc, was ****ty during may though which is unusual, usually gets sunny around exam time. Call me crazy but I like Irish weather, it never gets cold here (although past couple of winters have been an exception, but only for less than a month), it never gets too hot either, when it does get hot it's like the perfect amount (but thats unfortunately rare), at least we don't have to deal with any extremes I suppose!

why dont people realise this, here's how Irish summers work, on the exact date the Leaving Cert starts, sun. sh1tty humidity with rain for most of July and August, then the first day back to school, sun again. book your time off work accordingly.

Ireland is at the wrong latitude to be expecting hot summers.

Rainy, damp and dreary is a typical summer.

Not here in Toronto though, was 30-35 deg C for most of July.:cool:

Ill accept the -15 to -20 winters as a trade off. Proper seasons are good.

Last year wasn't very good, but I thought the year before that (2009) was fantastic (whether it actually was or not, is another thing, but I remember it as being great).

met eireann doesn't agree with you about 2009 http://www.independent.ie/weather/now-its-official-soggy-summer-is-wettest-since-records-began-1874370.html

irelands latitude has very little to do with its weather, we are at the same latitude as parts of southern alaska but we don't get massive amounts of ice and snow like they do there

dublin is same latitude as edmonton but you cannot compare the weather in both cities, edmonton has experienced temperatures over 100F and temperatures as cold as -50c, dublins never come anywhere near either of those

Caliden · 16-08-2011 02:49AM

Been in Boston for the summer and we've got <10 days of rain and when it did rain it was still warm outside so I could wear shorts. Love it here and would definitely consider moving to a different climate where you get actual seasons not just different types of rain.

Shîte summer
