Back to a normal Irish summer then .

My main summer precautions are to ensure that the fridge is always full of icy cold beer and the boat is always fueled up and ready to go

That's why the weather girl always tells us "This is officially the first day of summer." Bit hard to tell otherwise

Oddly a link took me to a US page on what makes us die. Cold a bit, Heat a LOT.

The Irish Heat may be a cool place Mr Sudfan? The SPS rating of the jacket may negate the need for much sun screen


Never fear down south here in Melbourne those northern sods hang it on me as well sir. I will not do that to Tassie as My fist love was a Hobart

Here is one of my babies in the setting sun.

Found this:

Temperature records broken as Met Eireann establish new Climate Services Division - Met Eireann - The Irish Meteorological Service

The record heat for Ireland was a scorching .... 33C.

We're now regularly getting summers with temps in the very high 40s - when the official temperature for Horsham was 47.9C our weather station at the farm was saying 50C.

Our temperature here where I live barely got over 20 degrees C and has been in the mid teens for the last while. There is a high of 17 degrees forecast for today and a sweltering 20 degrees given for tomorrow. Then it is back to the mid teens.

Seriously speaking though.
In Summer here I try to get all my work done in the wee hours of the morning or late at night as it often gets to 45C+ during Summer.

Mid-winter here and the highs next week range from 12C to 17C. Pretty frosty some nights though, but the clear skies mean sunny days.
