    It's not even hot, just pleasantly mild. Fans are quite cheap too you know.

    But if you fall asleep in a room with a fan on you'll die. So they say in Korea anyway.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_death

    I should be dead!

    Typical Irish whinging, 4 degrees above or below 10 and most are moaning.

    All relative I suppose, presently in mid 20's at night, high 30's days and very humid.
    Local folks here would be be suffering from hypothermia in the hot weather all are moaning about up there.

    I'm still waiting for the t-shirt weather to start, high teens/low twenties is all we have here at the moment :( OK for a BBQ but you wouldn't stand out in a t-shirt just yet. The summers here once they start are nice, 28-32 is a nice temperature, just warm enough.

    The wind has finally pissed off and it's over twenty but still a long way off hot.

    Are you kidding me? Coldest X amount of months on record and we get a few days on high teen degrees and people are moaning. Get some sunscreen, wear a t-shirt, leave a window open if you're at home and enjoy! It is glorious and I am not going to complain for one minute!

    I wonder if people in other countries go on about the weather as much as we do? There is flooding in central Europe, we should be grateful that we get very few extreme weather conditions...

    I think it's fine at the moment, though I really wouldn't want it to get any warmer, thank you very much.

    One of the reasons I came to Ireland was the weather, after all. Winters not too cold, summers not too hot, I quite like that.

    People feel comfortable at different temperatures. What's the big deal? It's actually just ridiculous to tell people they're wrong for not feeling comfortable at a certain temp. People talking about how they're perfectly happy sleeping at 40º in Timbuktu or wherever (or at -30º in Vladivostok if the thread happens to be about the cold) really just come across as if they're posturing in a meaningless "do you even lift" sort of way.

    I work with a lot of people of different nationalities and I find they moan about the weather as much if not more than we do. Apparently our cold is colder than their frozen snowy winters, our rare hot days are more uncomfortable than their stifling summers.

    Personally I hate even our mild summer temps. It aggravates my health and I'm much happier in frosty weather. I hear enough moaning about the cooler temps year round so I don't feel one bit guilty for saying it's too hot.

    Well, the people here moaning were, for the most part, born here and given the amazingly small seasonal variation you'd think they'd have gotten used to it. Frankly a lot of Irish people are just the same when talking about food that's ever so slightly different from what they're used to at home.

    Not sure what your point is - Irish people moan more? Irish people are inflexible and set in their ways. Another excuse for Irish bashing?

    I must ask my international colleagues what's wrong with them - I mean, you think they'd have gotten used to our temperature extremes which are well within the normal range for their native countries. How dare they feel uncomfortable in our temperature range!

    People from the continent complain because of the changeable nature of our weather. In the summer in their countries there is some consistency and they can get acclimatized to the new climate but here it's one day on one day off. In winter they have a kind of dry cold, it's also consistent and not the sort of wet and windy cold we have here where you wonder what you should wear, heavy coat or mac, hat and gloves or none at all.

    I dont understand people when they say they prefer the rain when its hot out. Rain doesnt make anything cooler. When it rains in summer, its still hot out. I think its even worse than winter cause you dont know whether to bring a top or rain coat with you. And its too hot for an extra layer when it rains.

    Just get a fan and get air moving around the room. You'll feel alot better. Experienced several nights in Arizona with it 30+ at night and a fan going with no air-con on made a huge difference.

    A shower is good for freshening the atmosphere when it gets too humid though. Doesn't mean people want loads of rain!

    They should really drag out the leaving cert until 31 August. If we get weather like this when exams start, its worth it.

    We'll be back to winter now in no time at all. Next week at guess we'll be back to overcast for the rest of the summer until september and the kids go back to school.

    I like these hot, bright sunny days because it's so uplifting. It bring everyone out and about - walking, sitting in cafes, restaurants, pubs, beer gardens. I'd say businesses love this weather for money with many people buying ice creams, ice lollies and cold drinks.

    One thing I will say is that I was not perpared for this weather with no shorts, cardigans, sunhat, sunglasses, midge repellant. Things like that.

    Having said all that I usually try my best to stay in from the sun especially when it's really hot but sometimes I need to head out in it.
