For all those saying the 'Irish don't know what hot is,' keep in mind that in the US, most 'hot' climates have air conditioning in a lot of their homes, businesses, etc. and/or ceiling fans, etc. Homes designed to be cool. Ireland isn't built that way - they usually do NOT have AC, fans, screens in their windows, etc. And the humidity is high. And yes, I grew up where it was very hot and humid (Miami).

90% of Americans in the US have air conditioning. 10% of Europeans do. Texas was 103f the other day with stupid high humidity. My area of Northern Virginia was 92f today and we're a costal state too, so it was very humid. I stayed inside for the air conditioning for the most part. Otherwise, I go to the pool.😊

Yes, I experienced the same in Paris once about 25 years ago. I have lived in the desert and I roasted in Paris one summer as the place I stayed at had no A/C and the temp went to 40.

103F and 95%humidity,in the shade no less,in deepest darkest south Abalama last week for 3 days running.. This week's been mild with only 96f and 92%humidity on the daily,every Dayish except when it hits 98F and higher humidity a few days..

Damn! When there are no clouds hovering above Ireland, the whole world is in trouble. Alex is hilarious. That frozen turtle had me in stitches. Be well guys.

My Irish grandmother lived with us since I was 3. We had to have air conditioning on all the time in the summer because my grandmother could not handle the heat. We lived on Long Island NY where the summer temperatures would be in the 90s with a real feel of 100+. She would tell me stories of going to the swimming holes in Ireland once it hit 80 and how no one was able to handle the heat. I completely understand you when you say “Irish, not use to it.”

Humidity makes everything worse! I’m also convinced humidity in Ireland is different/closer than humidity in America. I remember when I lived in Ireland for a few months that 5° was absolutely freezing (and I live in Michigan where -10° happens regularly in winter), and it was like it was just clinging to me and sinking through my layers of sleeves-the air being close is the best way to describe it.

Ps. Congratulations on your 5th wedding anniversary ! May you have many more happy years together ! 💚🤍🧡

I *love* the frozen mascot bit. We used to do that with people's keys when I was in college. Solo cup, water, freezer, done.

Me and my mom (from Indiana) were in Ireland from May 25th - June 9th. We had full sun, no clouds or rain the whole time we were there. Cooler at night. But high 60s to low 80 degrees every day. I came home with a sunburn from Ireland. Who does that? Lol No lie I didn't want to go home. The company we work for has a plant in Castelbar, which we were able to visit as well. We loved every minute of our trip. I love your content.

Sounds divine!

Welp,as an American of Irish and Scottish descent way back in the day,it was 103f in the shade here a couple days ago with 93% humidity,and not a single breath of wind to be found... And that was the 2nd day of the same here in deepest,darkest south Abalama... Not even a coastal breeze was coming up... So yeah,we do know a little bit about high humidtemps... The next 2 weeks are humid and only mid 90s with heat index of 105 to 109f...

Today the Heat Index in Daytona Beach, FL was 41.11c. The Relative Humidity is 74%. We call it wearing the air.

Since I'm very lousy at converting Celsius into Fahrenheit, and vice-versa, here in Louisiana (USA) it's already been 100+ degrees F this year and with the high humidity the heat index has been 110+. Usually when people complain about the heat, we tell them just wait until August. Now we're fretting how it's going to be then.

Yeah Alex and Millie. Always enjoy seeing them but I come here to see and listen to you. Thank you for the brain giggles. Congratulations on your anniversary and happy birthday young lady.

I think the part most people forget is the whole ‘acclimation’ thing. When you’re acclimated to one type of weather or temperate/climate it can be an issue.

Great clog Clare - the mascot thing cracked me up. And yes Ive done the pizza thing as well!!😅😅

To Funny on the frozen turtle 🐢 😂, Oh I know that humidity well , Sometimes get 100 degrees and 100% humidity and it’s a hot one .

Here in Northwestern Ohio, we’ve actually had a somewhat mild summer. Today, it’s 84 right now, or 30 on the Celsius scale. I do have the AC on now, because the sun is out in full force. But, it’s not running constantly. And, the nights have been quite pleasant.

Glad to watch the vlog update, Clare. Really dig the cultural videos, but enjoy a life update you care to share. 23 September starts autumn (76 days) so don't have to bear it too long. Summer isn't my favourite season.

As someone from the US South, I have to say, "How can that guy in the tractor not wave back?! That's so rude!" Have a great day!

Yay.. There you are!! A wee bundle of joy that is admirable. and funny. I watch all of your posts and I do have to let Alex know that he is making us men proud. After all, you are a tiny bundle of energy😂

Hey there, Ms Clare. First, Yay Millie! Haven't seen her in an age. Alex's prank with the mascot was fab, absolutely legendary. I get that the temps had been unusually high for Ireland, but I had to laugh that the bulk of the time that you were complaining about how hot it has been, you were wearing a sweatshirt over a t-shirt. 🙃 I have been loving the "cultural" videos of late, but it was nice to get an update vlog. Happy belated B-days to you and Alex, as well as a happy belated Anniversary. Glad to see you're all doing quite well. Sláinte! ~Be Blessed

Most Americans say that 28°C (84°F) isn't hot and then click on the A/C to 22°C (72°F).

Love it. I spent 7 days in Ireland 4 years ago, and I miss it so much....thats how much I loved my trip.

Happy Belated Birthday and 5th Anniversary to you and Alex! I'm glad you're having fun together this summer. It gets hot and humid here in the Midwest US. I have the darker skin and hair that comes with Italian ancestry and I have a tough time coping when it gets super hot; I can't imagine how uncomfortable it is for a fair skinned, red headed Irish woman. Oh, and we do the driver wave thing here in the Midwest.

Incredible weather! Brilliant, hot is hot! Thanks for posting

Over here in the west US it's pretty usual to get to 35-40 C from June through September. Luckily it's dry here so we can run a swamp cooler and get by. Humidity is a real killer.

I feel for you , Clare ! At least you're making the best of it ! And may i add : A very Happy ( late ) Birthday to you and your sister ! I hope your day ( s ) were awesome ! 🎂🎁🥳🎈🎉🍰🕯️🕯️🕯️

I feel ya Clare. I don't do well above temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius. We get wicked heat and humidity here in Southern Ontario. Today will be 30 degrees plus humidity. So it will feel like 40. SO ick I'm glad for air conditioners :) Drink lots of icy water..

Just wanted to say, thanks for giving me a bit of a laugh for the day :)

Thank you Claire. I loved yours and Alexs reaction to the frozen mascot, I really loved this video !

I was born and lived in western New York for 9 years, and have lived in Arizona since. I've experienced pudding thick humidity and 122° heat and both suck for different reasons. It is all relative and when you aren't used to it, it's even worse. I don't envy you even as I enjoy a day of 108°. And, I'd take it over snow any day. 😅

I learned to live with high heat no humidity in southern Spain. Where, unlike Arizona, not everyone has ac

Don't feel too bad about melting the tray in the oven. When I was 30 (!!), I accidentally left a pan in the oven and put it on self clean. The firefighters all had a good laugh at my expense.

As a fair hair fair skinned Scotsman, I feel your pain… there was 2 and a half weeks there in June I didn’t want to get out of a cold shower !

Thanks for the giggle

In the southeast and south going up the center of the US, we do know from humidity 75, 85,90% humidity in the morning with the temperatures somewhere between 35 and 40 Celsius going up as the day progresses. But you are right also because it’s the amount of change from your normal that makes you feel it more.

My family and I went to Ireland for the first time this year. We were there the first week of June and it was in the 20's everyday and no rain. It was absolutely beautiful but I completely understand now what you mean about the heat. Going inside any building without AC in it was miserable. The pubs were so hot with everyone packed inside. We only had one hotel in Dublin that had AC in it and then we were freezing. Regardless it was such an amazing trip that my husband and I were talking about moving!!!! Love the videos and hope July will be a bit cooler for ya!! 💚🧡

I live in the south sweetie. And it has never been this hot, for this long here either. It won't relent. Just really happy to see you're out there enjoying and seeing everything you can regardless 😀

Dre video thank you for sharing I hope things cool down for y'all in Ireland soon and the Rain video wasn't that bad either

I want to visit Ireland so bad it looks so fun and beautiful

Our apartment in Canada doesn't have air con so we have a portable unit, but I actually run the dehumidifier more than the actual cool air fan because it makes a much bigger difference when it's 65% humidity or higher. The humidity does make warmer temperatures much more exhausting, even if it's just in the 20's. Humidity is like a damp dog sitting on your shoulders all day. So gross!

I'm in the American south ( NC) and they are calling for 32-35 C for the next 10ish days. Luckily the humidity will only be around 60%, which is bearable. We have days in a row that range from 70-90% though, and youre right, the humidity makes it unbearable.

Thank you so much, as always, for sharing your content! Such great craic! Be well!

Happy Anniversary❣️ Happy Birthday❣️ Happy travels❣️ Love this video, and I absolutely adore how much you were smiling and laughing through it all.

A little sunshine ever kill anyone so enjoy the sunshine

Hot is relative...When I grew up in Arizona I experienced 50° C while training for a bicycle race. I moved to an area north of Seattle and now 28°C makes me run inside and hide. 5 years old, barefoot on hot sidewalks, 70 years old Hoka in the summer. Be well kids.

In Ireland when it's hot and humid it's a different heat. No bother when in Spain in a heat wave but Christ in ireland when the sun decides to make a proper appearance is unreal. Can't eat can't sleep in Ireland when we get our few weeks of summer 😁

I feel for you. I am from Ontario Canada and the humidity is unbearable

Happy Anniversary! I hope the temperatures get back to normal soon.

Haha I'm from Australia and I totally get the heat plus humidity struggles! We get up to mid 30s in my city in summer and it's disgusting D:

You crack me up!! We've actually had a few cool days and lots of storms in NE Oklahoma this week. It'll be brutal heat and humidity again next week lol. I had a guy from central Colorado tell me that we don't really walk in Oklahoma, it's swimming and breathing soup

"Ever" and "on record" are two very different things. Where I live in New Zealand it can reach mid 30's+ in the summer and it's awful when outside. As I've always said - You can put more and more clothes on to keep warm in the winter but there comes a point where you can't take anything more off in the summer to cool down. Give me cold anytime.

Moved from Limerick to Wisconsin. It's been over 35 here and 98% humidity...more than once this summer. Just a nightmare.

I know you must be suffering in the heat without air conditioning. Today we were able to turn ours off and open the windows because it was only 80°F (27°C). But it is going back up to 90°F (32°C) tomorrow. Put your frozen mascot in front of a fan and it will be as good as air conditioning (almost).

Clare!!! First, Happy Belated Birthday to YOU (I am purposefully leaving out the number out of due respect to the youngster that you are!); AND, also, Happy Belated 5th Anniversary to You and Alex!! May I say, I ALWAYS enjoy your incredible and amazing videos! Each is a journey unto itself! You always feature beautiful vistas and scenery, include fun-filled facts and captions, provide glimpses into the modern Irish lifestyle, our sports and national pastimes, ár bpoblacht, ár muintir, Éire álainn, agus... na madraí i gcónái !!! :-) Millie!! And, All the dogs you see!!! More importantly, you are always so REAL!!! As for the heat and getting very "close", the rest of the world needs to understand the collective Irish "condition", our genetic predisposition, and the fact that we are made for the cooler climates... Not Blazin' or Boilin', Not Freezin' ... just Chillin'! :-) (To which, I see our Scottish brethren added, in your comments, a validation of our cries for compassion and understanding! We are one Celtic People after all!!! ;-) :-) ) And, no matter where we go in this beautiful world of ours, we Irish are the first ones sweating and getting sunburned!!! Ha!! You and Alex are quintessentially Irish! Your slaggin' , antics , and humour coupled with the scenarios in which you find yourselves (e.g., finding Alex at the pub watching rugby, freezing mascots in water, waving to ignorant, "RUDE" (Ha!), tourists...who don't recognize a courtesy (giving way on our narrow roads) nor do they properly respond to a kind and acknowledging wave (by not waving back!) !! Your chuckle at the end was so telling and so IRISH!!!!! Ha! I enjoyed seeing the concoction you indulged in on your birthday! Sugar high anyone??!! Ha! Spooney's! !! Your teasin' the fates at the Cliff's edge was PERFECT!!! HILARIOUS! !! So IRISH of ya'!!! " Let's stop talking about it!" Absolutely Brilliant!!!!! Might you and Alex ever add a video of yourselves attending a Hurling competition??!! I do not recall your having shared one yet. Pardon me if you already have!!!

As a current resident of New Orleans who grew up in Nebraska you have to realize it's relative. I know people down here who can't hardly deal with the cold. It took me a a few years to adapt to the heat and that was living in Coastal Carolina before I moved here.

*chuckle* Texan coming in, our day starts at 26°C with 82% humidity and we got to 38°C with 58% humidity so really "close" and similar to Dublin humidity wise but feels like 44°C . That said I'm headed to Dublin again on the 27th and realize y'all aren't equipped for the heat like we are with a/c everywhere, but so looking forward to getting out of the heat.

It's been 34 degrees Celsius here in Massachusetts with 90% humidity. I understand all to well. Especially because I am Canadian. To hot and muggy. Stay Cool Claire 😎

"I'm melting" says the one wearing two shirts, one of which has long sleeves. Real talk though I'd love to have the weather you did. It's been solidly 32°C for most of the last two weeks with dew points right up past 21°C and I have to _walk_ half an hour to work in the sun. I feel your pain.

Happy Birthday!!! Many hot places in the US are hot but low humidity. Those along the coasts will agree with you that the humidity makes a big difference in how hot it feels. I'm with you on not getting too close to the cliff edge. It's not all heights I have a problem with, just unprotected heights! LOL!

That's amazing 🤩

Happy Anniversary. Happy Birthday. Congratulations on all your wins and condolences for all your defeats. During the summer in Toronto, the weather report includes the Humidex Index. The index indicates how much the humidity affects the temperature (more humidity feel and act as if it's hotter).

Glad you liked Lahinch, we have a house there back a bit in SummerCove. Hope you got an ice cream from our friend O'Conners. We were there in May / June and will agree it was "close". You should start a shop that sells fans. Window fans, Ceiling fans.... you could be set for life. Just hope you never have to install Central Air Conitioning and start paying the ESB bill on that.

Happy bday, anniversary, happy bday Alex! The beginning let me relive the Fadder Mike tour of County Clare, thanks! (Been a while, before that famous January storm hit Lehinch). Im in a colonial City on the coast that has, due to street parking/no driveways, many narrow one lane streets but two-way traffic. Locally, we do the wave to each other all the time when somebody actually obeys the rules about giving way. I think of you every time I do it 😅

Ah. So this makes more sense why I cannot handle heat! Maybe it's my Irish decent! Lol

Love your video's! So much fun, and lately I feel like I've learned a lot about Ireland that I didn't know thanks to you! I appreciate it!

Happened to me once. I rolled into Shannon then Galway expecting pleasant Temps with couple of days of lashing rain, as always. It was around 29/30, and I was in jeans and sweaters, etc. They said "oh, just go yo Penneys, buy some shorts". But I realized I'd brought no shoes that would go with shorts, bc I didn't want to overpack 😅. Thankfully, it lasted 2-3 days

Alex I have to admit frozen mascot was the best one yet. Belated happy birthdays and anniversary to you both. I'd say ya'll had a very busy week, on the subject of the local temp I get it your not use to it however an example people Houston TX 37c w/79% humidity and thats generally an all week event. Happily I'm well north of Houston so humidity is not that bad and I consider 25c comfortable enough to have windows open no AC. Miss Millie looked quite comfortable in your lap in the pub, not so sure I beleive rugby being in the big screen in the pub a happy happenstance. Best to all be safe in the heat, hydrate keep cool and protect Miss Millies patty paws on hot pavemnet and of course scritches for Miss Millie.

I hear ya on the feels like aspect - in my part of Texas we tend to have more dry heat but it's been super humid with feels like at 45 to 46.

Happy anniversary!

28.8 in your degrees would be cooler than my night time lows. It is typically over 100 everyday and yes...the humidity is high. No big deal! This is my favorite time of the year. You just need to be escorted into a nice cool and dark bar for free drinks until the temp doesn't even matter anymore to you.......or even what year it is.

Love you, girl, you make my day with these videos❤

I just converted 16 celsius to Fahrenheit & its only 60 degrees 😂😂😂 that’s actually kinda chilly for me but I am a southern American. I would definitely need a light jacket.

That was fun 😊

Thank you again for taking us on your adventures and daily life. Love from Ontario Canada.

Happy Birthday!

28.8 is super hot for Ireland. Bear in mind that Ireland literally doesn't get that kind of heat normally, and what is considered 'hot' is relative. Snarky Americans are always so 'higher than thou' just because they use bigger numbers. Also Ireland and England's housing was never built for heat, because we just don't get it. It's usually very cold, and very wet. Humidity here is enormous too, so when the sun's out, it's like being in a boiler.

just vlogging, yeah? lol your husband is the man

That sounds beautiful, you are so blessed. Please stay safe. Btw we had a temperature well over 45°C😂😂 💜💜🇮🇪🇮🇪💜💜

Your vlogs never fail to brighten my day 😂

It was 102 in my backyard yesterday... Fahrenheit, but very fkg hot 🥵🔥

Actually before the great ice age we just came out of Ireland was MUCH MUCH hotter than it is today. The AVERAGE temp on Earth was 72 F or 22 C. Which is where it is heading again. It will take many thousands or hundreds of thousands of years to get there

Watched all the way to the end, brilliant,🎉🎉🎉🎉

A high of 28.8 celsius is considered a nice day where I live. Because during this time of year the average is 108° F to 116° F. By the way I acknowledge that you don't have air conditioning in most house's in Ireland. But I've played football (American football), and other sports when it's 93°F or hotter outside. Which is why I say what you consider to be hot is a nice day where I live. I'm not trying to be insensitive.

I have to be the typical American. Last year we had 24 days over ~39°C in Oklahoma. Yes, we have AC and all, but as a cop, I'm outside a lot with body armor on. I would have loved your weather. The wife and I are taking our first trip to Ireland shortly. Looked up the weather and was shocked at the expected cool temps. Love your video. Sorry for being too stereotypical, but the leopard can't change his spots.

I was just in Ireland for field school, which is mostly physical labor outside, and it was fucking obscene. Coming from someone who has lived in a standard 115° in the summer, it's been equally bad. Remember to replenish your electrolytes, and if you feel yourself getting dizzy, sit somewhere cool and SIP DON'T CHUG water.

!HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Watching this and it's 110f and 85% humidity here.

42 degrees here in Austin, Texas. Though, it sounds more fierce in Fahrenheit.

Thank you!
