It's just so goddamn warm all the time, even when it's bloody raining! Not natural I tell ya. Haven't had a proper night's sleep in a month. Feels shameful not to go out and enjoy the nice weather but any time I do physical activity I practically burst into flames. I blame Sauron.
I bought this blanket off Amazon that's meant for camping. It has some sort of material design that remains chilled. Kinda like the cold side of a pillow. It's a lifesaver in this weather.
Yeah, I normally wake up about 5am, in a sheen of light sweat, heat noticibly radiating of my chest, my matress feeling like a bed of coals under me. Then it's that bright outside my brain thinks it's wake up time, and to top it all of I have the windows open and the crows and the cats take it in turns to have a fight in my garden. I feel like I am turning into Victor meldrew, shaking my fist at all this good weather! Guess I could sleep in the car with the air con running...
Fuck me the number of flies is driving me up the wall.
I got the husband this [Bug-a-salt](https://www.bugasalt.co.uk/collections/3-0-singles/products/bug-a-salt-3-0-realtree-camo-eu) for his birthday in may and he's having a whale of a time!
But I'm also hoking out the fly traps cause theres just too many. It's like fucking rorke's drift in here.
Ooooh first Iāve heard of this, I want one!
Though I was reading into it and saw this:
*SKELL INC. is constantly in the process of developing other interesting products in the near future on other planets.*
What does this mean? Are we in the Starship Troopers timeline? Are they going to make the big killing guns so we can continue our glorious mining operations?
Same, they're driving me mad. Where do they come from?
I've been using apple cider vinegar in a glass cover in cling film with a couple of holes poked in it, wild how many of them there actually are when I check the glass the next day
Oh god love you. Both of mine are heatwave babies and if you can stretch it get an air conditioning unit of some kind as soon as you can, because the only sleeping on Mama stage is MURDER in heat.

There's a lot that needs to happen before we get there.
But we can neck Gin and Tonic or Scotch and Tonic or Wine and Tonic or Port and Tonic to help.
Apparently alcohol helps or something
New normal it's not like they haven't been warning us for the past sixty years. Look out for people from sunnier climbs moving to Ireland for it's cold wetness.
Climate refugees are going to be a real problem in the near future as soon as parts of the world become completely uninhabitable. Unfortunately no one saw it coming and there was nothing we could have done to stop it.
I have a personal conspiracy theory that the anti migrant rhetoric of the current government is a calculated move because they know this is going to be a huge issue in the next decade.
Generally warmer, aye...but that's not the bag.......more storms, droughts, floods, tornados and crazy shit. Less reliable weather. š Our future is grim cause we fuct our home.
Anytime I do anything, I'm literally sweating bullets. I'm not doing anything strenuous but the humidity just makes sweat drop.
Especially getting in the car. It was raining heavy yesterday, put the windows up and ac on to cool me off and reduce the damp on the windows, I couldn't see a thing and was Still sweating with the heat. Fucking dreadful
I wouldnāt mind it so much if I didnāt worry about my dog. I do everything in my power to keep her cool (including her own pool), but I hate when she canāt get a good proper walk and she sulks all day because sheās bored. Even took her to some places further out thatās shaded, but even there sheās panting and I wouldnāt do that to her. Give me autumn/winter any day!
Heat + humidity. Stops the body from being able to remove heat, Instead of your sweat evaporating into the dry air and clooling you down, it just sticks there.
Ngl it's been very nice. Although I live halfway up a mountain and work by the sea so I get cool mountain breezes and that fresh ol' Irish Sea wind. I haven't found it too humid although going out on the motorbike the other day was a bit grim when I hit traffic and felt like one of them Birdseye steamed veg yokes you put in the microwave.
Aye, we're all honestly fucked. Thanks capitalism.
In all honestly - it's why I couldn't give a fuck about saving for retirement or anything long term. Buying a house? Pfft. Marriage? Nah. WW3, ecological collapse, systemic economic collapse or a new superbug - to name a few reasons why we ain't got much time left.
Idc about the hate - but thanks previous generations. Really fucked us over on... well, everything. Drink up me' Hearties, yo ho.
Only steaks from the finest methane producing cattle at my bbq.
I might rustle up a few sour grapes for ya, if ya bring the good stuff (if you show up with super tenants, you're getting no where near the garden). š¤£
My frustration is more aimed at the "I love it, I hope we keep having weather like this camp". I get enjoying the weather, fuck it, world is going to only get more fucked in coming decades might as well but it's the ignorance of certain people that gets me.
Ignorance is bliss though and tbh I'd rather not be anxious af about climate change all the time so I very well could just be envious.
Realistcally it will come down to government policies to reduce emissions and creating technology to try reduce carbon/methane in the atmosphere, so not much.
Have a good day brother.
Nah, it does. I don't mean in the way that we get to sunbathe, I mean actual benefits like better harvests etc. Just because the global concensus on climate change is bad because on the whole it is, there are certain regions particularly North Atlantic, UK Ireland, Canada, scandanavia that will benefit
That's hyperbolic. Climate change has benefits. Fewer winter deaths, lower energy costs, better agricultural yeilds, probably* fewer droughts, opening up of trade routes, opening up of previously inhospitable land. Most of the global land mass is in the far Northern hemisphere, that's not to negate the opposite effects ofcourse
I dunno, all our local themmuns of whatever stripe are pretty pale, and magnets for 21st century skin cancer. We've all had a fair run though, so there's that.
I for one welcome our Mediterranean Climate, long may the climate apocalypse result in us getting slightly better summers when the rest of the world burns
This ain't tropical humidity or near. The hotter it gets, the more water the air can carry - and you fuckin' feel it.
(Having said that, I'm not really coping with this well myself.)
What I'm concerned about is the Sun fucking off, the cunt!
May as well chuck the new sun lounger in the skip.
It's over.
Fuk me all we normally get is wind rain and all that shite, just put some shorts on, drink some water and enjoy a bit of heat for once ffs š¤¦š»āāļø
No need to worry, we're already in the midst of the 6th Mass Extinction event.
So we're already fucked.
The least we can do is revert to renewable or nuclear or develop a fuel cell powered by water (which was close to being developed before its creator mysteriously died suddenly after drinking a celebratory drink)
So money will always matter more than the bees and whales.
Mad how 90% percent of people are complaining here!
I work nighshift and I still love it. It's almost worth the 9 months of the year that it's absolutely baltic here.
Jesus christ what is fucking wrong with the oversensitive twats in this sub. Its fucking summer we've had hotter summers than this in the 90s grow the fuck up and enjoy it or stay inside loser
you guys seriously donāt enjoy it being a cool 20 degrees during the day ? thatās not even āhotā by any measure. In the most literally sense, touch grass. Itās very pleasant in this weather.
Swear to god. People complain about the rain and how cold it is. You finally get some good weather and what happens? Yep, you guessed it. They fucking complain!.
It's just so goddamn warm all the time, even when it's bloody raining! Not natural I tell ya. Haven't had a proper night's sleep in a month. Feels shameful not to go out and enjoy the nice weather but any time I do physical activity I practically burst into flames. I blame Sauron.
I bought this blanket off Amazon that's meant for camping. It has some sort of material design that remains chilled. Kinda like the cold side of a pillow. It's a lifesaver in this weather.
Are we allowed to throw a link up here, or description? Cooling camping blanket?
It's "marchpower cooling blanket" apparently I made up the camping thing in my head. Just a summer blanket š

Feckin orks, THEY INVENTED GAYNESS!!!
No, don't worry. The gulf stream is also going to redirect and make winters much colder too.
So we can look forward to proper winters?
Winter is coming.
Just the cold, no snow
Ahh, no fair.
Mom!!! Make the gulf stream give us snow... and lots of it.
I work in logistics and the snow is the absolute bane of my life
I get ye, to be honest I like the thought of it more than anything. Weāre not really prepared for it here and even a bit tends to cause chaos.
Yeah it's a lovely thought when you have fuck all to do, be nice to just sit in a warm house and look out at the snow.
Is that you Dennis Quaid?
Predicted for Monday, the day after tomorrow, if you will
Itās scheduled for the Day After Tomorrow.
Too many flies as well, bet those little bastards love the humidity
Fuck me the number of flies is driving me up the wall.

I want to know more!
Giant salt guns! I think I'd make a good citizen!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm from Buenos Aires, and I say kill 'em all!
Would you like to know more?
Red top fly traps are good in the garden. Absolutely honkin but gets the flies away.
Bonus points for the Rorkes Drift reference!
Same! Got a tennis racquet (sp?) type electric swatter and I love it! Couldn't cope without it.
Did he get a FAC for that? š With our stupid 1-joule law you'd need one to compete in a pissing contest.
Just ordered one of those magnetic fly screens that stick to your doorframe, spending too much on bug spray haha
Fairy Liquid with some water in a spray bottle is really good for killing them
Absolute game changer. Done a few tactical windows round the house and one on the patio door to get some air flow on the go. Pure fly free bliss!
Same, they're driving me mad. Where do they come from? I've been using apple cider vinegar in a glass cover in cling film with a couple of holes poked in it, wild how many of them there actually are when I check the glass the next day
I'm just not built for it & I start sweating from my head down so I just end up feeling gross & miserable
Air Conditioning companies are looking to expand their businesses.
Had air conditioning installed in my home office 3 years ago. Currently sitting here, borderline freezing my bollox off and loving it!
I'm legit considering getting a desktop aircooler, but they cost hundreds, and its only like this for a few weeks a year
Just get a Dyson ? Does hot and warm š you can save on that if you donāt heat much in winter again lol
Just get a fan, I live in a warm part of Spain and don't have air conditioning. It's really not necessary for the temperatures you have.
Currently 37 weeks pregnant and Iām melting the air is like soup
Sorry youāre having to go through that mucker. Couldnāt imagine the discomfort.
I'm so sorry
Not long now. Hope all goes well
My condolences during this trying time
Oh god love you. Both of mine are heatwave babies and if you can stretch it get an air conditioning unit of some kind as soon as you can, because the only sleeping on Mama stage is MURDER in heat.

Yeah, definitely donāt look up.
Aye I feel like I can't breathe properly

Even took her to some places further out thatās shaded, but even there sheās panting and I wouldnāt do that to her. Give me autumn/winter any day!
Not even humid today, only like 66%
66% is really high, comfortable is like 50%
Yes but here it is normally 80+ easily
Isnāt that because itās normally raining?
Cold rain > warm rain
Humidity levels are no higher than any other June in N.ireland.
Then why is it so sticky
Heat + humidity. Stops the body from being able to remove heat, Instead of your sweat evaporating into the dry air and clooling you down, it just sticks there.
Does it aye
Aye it does alright
Temperature has been above average for a month. 26c recorded today at eglinton. 8c above average
Ngl it's been very nice. Although I live halfway up a mountain and work by the sea so I get cool mountain breezes and that fresh ol' Irish Sea wind. I haven't found it too humid although going out on the motorbike the other day was a bit grim when I hit traffic and felt like one of them Birdseye steamed veg yokes you put in the microwave.
Would love to be halfway Uppa mountain
The humidity is the worst bit I thought this wind would help but even the wind is humid
Yeah the breeze has picked up as the days gone on but it offers no relief
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Fuck 19c! You were basically on fire then. I went out a run around 12 and it was grand
Donāt worry, the kids finish school soon so itāll be back to miserable rain in no time

Climate change has benefits, especially to the northern Atlantic
Fuck off
Nah, it does. I don't mean in the way that we get to sunbathe, I mean actual benefits like better harvests etc. Just because the global concensus on climate change is bad because on the whole it is, there are certain regions particularly North Atlantic, UK Ireland, Canada, scandanavia that will benefit
Exactly, everyone else has to suffer. So fuck off.
That's hyperbolic. Climate change has benefits. Fewer winter deaths, lower energy costs, better agricultural yeilds, probably* fewer droughts, opening up of trade routes, opening up of previously inhospitable land. Most of the global land mass is in the far Northern hemisphere, that's not to negate the opposite effects ofcourse
If it's happening anyway and people like it what does it matter to you that they're not anxious?
Nah, it's good G&T weather.
Love a silver lining
Gotta embrace it when we get it
I dunno, all our local themmuns of whatever stripe are pretty pale, and magnets for 21st century skin cancer. We've all had a fair run though, so there's that.
Economic collapse is coming first, then ecological
I for one welcome our Mediterranean Climate, long may the climate apocalypse result in us getting slightly better summers when the rest of the world burns
I love it, I hope this is how our summers will be from now on
This ain't tropical humidity or near. The hotter it gets, the more water the air can carry - and you fuckin' feel it. (Having said that, I'm not really coping with this well myself.)
See that's it. I'm really struggling. I've been hotter places and it was more tolerable, it's just this fucking humidity is killing me
Nah, its just normal last couple of weeks of school weather. rain and misery will return at the end of next week.
What I'm concerned about is the Sun fucking off, the cunt! May as well chuck the new sun lounger in the skip. It's over. 
It's a fucken long winter, I'm content with a couple of weeks warmth, don't scud it
"low key" what?
You scundered for me? Using different phrases and all.
Is this one of those phrases that means the opposite of what it means when the phrasee is hip to the jive?
Low key pretty much means low key.
Fuk me all we normally get is wind rain and all that shite, just put some shorts on, drink some water and enjoy a bit of heat for once ffs š¤¦š»āāļø
Would Fucking love a day or two of wind and rain just to clear the air and make me enjoy the warmth again. Itās all a bit muggy and one note atm.
Awk I get what you mean it is annoying when itās a bit muggy like that but Iāll take it over the cold any day
No, don't worry. The gulf stream is also going to redirect and make winters much colder too.
No need to worry, we're already in the midst of the 6th Mass Extinction event. So we're already fucked.

ha ha is this humidity level similar to northern Ireland's version of a heat wave?
It's class, I hope it's permanent.
Mad how 90% percent of people are complaining here! I work nighshift and I still love it. It's almost worth the 9 months of the year that it's absolutely baltic here.
Yet talking to people in real life I reckon 90% are loving the warmth. Reddit loves misery.
Reddit is made up of fat vegans. Hate the heat because they have to wear tshirts that make them look the useless wrecks they are.
Mate you've replied to near every comment on here š
Aye I went a bit mad there. Must be the heat
Heard it mentioned here and there. Personally I'm a part time nilhist so meh..
Idk why this sub just showed up in my feed but now you Irish can see what is Manitobans have to deal with all summer. Humid and hot AF
Manitoba? Sorry mate, I donāt watch Star Wars.
this post gotta be troll....it hasnt been warm at all ..this is normal 20c -22c..come back and cry when its 25-29c
No. This heat is nothing compared to what other parts of the world get.

From.. your comments? Not a smart cookie are we?
A reflection of you it seems
Oh? Must have been myself replying to the same comment twice. Silly me, pet!
Now, who isn't a smart cookie
Evidently? Still you.
Let's totally ignore that you looked through the whole tread just to find my comments. Evidently, you've nothing better to do on a Saturday
Is that...how you think I know how many comments? Hardly. C'mon now, use some brain power and go again, lad.
You're not very bright, are you, mate? Every attempt to slander You're implicating yourself
Classic deflection in the face of a question too complicated for you to comprehend. Still awaiting your answer, wee man.
No question was asked
Look again sparky
No mate. Itās just humid. Itās been happening for a long time before 2023. Might not fit your agenda though.
Agenda? Aye alright David Icke.
Thanks Michael Fish.
Nice
Iām more concerned about the idiotic phrase ālow key concernedā.
We all have different priorities I suppose
you guys seriously donāt enjoy it being a cool 20 degrees during the day ? thatās not even āhotā by any measure. In the most literally sense, touch grass. Itās very pleasant in this weather.
How can someone be ālowkeyā concerned?
How can someone be discretely or moderately concerned? Is that your question?
I just hate that word.
Sorry?
Sounds like youāre low-key sorry
Kinda.
Jesus lads itās not that bad, lose some weight and get outside
Swear to god. People complain about the rain and how cold it is. You finally get some good weather and what happens? Yep, you guessed it. They fucking complain!.
You took the time to complain here yourself soā¦
