The Heatwave Continues, Ireland 1976

- As Ireland enjoys a heatwave, life goes on in spite of the soaring temperatures.
The record temperatures experienced in Ireland on 29 June 1976 look set to continue. While some people escape to the beach or the countryside not everyone is choosing to get away. At the Slender Health Club in Stillorgan, County Dublin, keep fit enthusiasts sweat it out in an exercise class,
Oblivious to the soaring temperatures.
A street trader on Camden Street in Dublin city centre is doing a roaring trade in strawberries.
In Connemara, County Galway, harvesting in underway. Due to a shortage of tractors, farmers are using scythes.
People are being asked to conserve water to preserve reservoirs,
So don’t use the hose on the lawns or the flowers if you can avoid it.
There are no such restrictions on water supply in Dublin Zoo however, as it has its own lake. In a bid to keep cool, an elephant and a tiger take advantage of this perk.
In spite of the tropical climes at home, an appetite for foreign holidays remains. One travel agent has taken more bookings in the past week than in the previous three weeks combined. He reckons,
When people get a sample of good weather they’re more inclined to think of a continental holiday.
The good news for those who work from Monday to Friday is the good weather is set to continue throughout the weekend.

I just wanted to extend a warm welcome to all the fellow men of culture, who stopped by to study this rare and valuable archival footage.
@crazyclive : In this day and age, approaching any woman unasked to offer any sort of interaction outside of a government-mandated official capacity can get a man in trouble, hence why I limited my welcome to my fellow men of culture, as I knew that by and large, they would accept it without issues (it’s a “guy thing”, and I had no doubts that they’d “get it”). But, if it makes you happy, I hereby pile a nice stack of warm welcome up against that wall over there, and I will back away slowly, making it clear that women of culture are free to help themselves to that warm welcome strictly at their own initiative, if they so choose, and without me imposing it upon them in any way whatsoever. There. Oh, and all other individuals, collectives, and entities of whatever gender, orientation, self identification, or birthing capacity are free to help [insert pronoun here]-self/selves from that stack of warm welcome if desired. And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m outta here, before I get cancelled.
@@samy7013 You're a brave man, I'm not sure if you clashed sabres, or narrowly deflected the tip of a thrusting spear, but it was daring nonetheless. Now excuse me as I follow behind and may very well get run through by the same blade, as you ride on to the next defying action.
It was the massive jugs that drew me in
@@samy7013 You went over and beyond with that reply. Made me laugh 😅🤣

Back in the 70s there was always a Benny Hilll moment in all reports. Oh how things have changed
Yes indeed. Worse more than good.
Knockers!
Agree 👍.. if a report went out like that today there would be all out fury !. An R T E reporter who's Hetrosexual and massaging a laidy on the beach in a Bikini.
Classic Ireland. Lovely stuff
Be Jesus. That's a sin if ever I saw one.
Big, large, enormous and gigantic heatwaves.
Lol, and soft.
And cyclical
warmth
Delicious heatwaves.
I literally came here for the infamous heatwave of 1976. There just happened to be this girl with an amazing and welcoming chest area.
A cracking pair of norks indeed.
You can say that again. 😅😅😅😅
I was 16, wild as a March Hare and racing after the Girls. Yes it was a long Hot Magical Summer full of Happy Memories. O' Yes - I caught one of those Girl's and Yes 4 year's later we married and are still in Love and full of life "Thank God". Blessing to all of You who find this Video 🙂

It was a blistering 28 degrees celsius and the sun was relentless. The pale Irish folk braced themselves for this fiery hell any which way they could.
*laughs in modern heatwaves*
@@OmegaTrooper is there even any point in telling you that 1976 still has the record for the hottest temperature in ireland? is there even any point in telling you that in 1976, the main headline was "the ice age is coming?"
see, i don't think there's any point in telling you
@@panameadeplm That can't be true. A special-needs high school drop out from Sweden said we ruined her childhood via climate change, which is what convinced me.
@@panameadeplm There would be no point in telling anyone that as the first part of your comment is a lie. The hottest temperature ever recorded in Ireland was at Kilkenny Castle in June 1887. The second hottest temperature was in Phoenix Park in July 2022.
@@thisguy976 dismissing the validity of a temperature reading from the 1800s is a lie? why would i lie about something that would further prove my point? i can already imagine the response i'd get if i did take the temperature reading from 200 years ago at face value, you would still be right here, calling me a liar for trying to pass off an unreliable statistic as modern scientific fact
this is what i get for trying to be reasonable with ecofascists i suppose
i just googled "ireland temperature records," reading the second headline after ignoring the result from 200 years ago, it was indeed zero point five degrees hotter in 2022 than in 1976, my argument is in absolute shambles and i have been called out for the liar that i am
The glass of coke with the lemon. Legendary.
Coke with Lemon is an actual drink you can get in a can now and it's terrific!
I missed that 🙄
Absolutely beautiful
I wasn't even alive back then and yet I yearn for those times. 60s, 70s, 80s. The best films, best music and the fittest birds. I would give up modern comforts and technology in a heartbeat if I could live again to experience those golden decades.
I was young at the right time in 76. Toured Ireland for 2 months on a Triumph 500 with a few friends on similar motorcycles. Camping & B&B. It was like we are starring in our own road movie. Utterly different country now.
I was 11 and it was the best summer holidays ever
Also my dad born in ‘65 the 70s were a golden era
I would've been around 12 months old. I miss the old days of the 80's, I wish I had been born earlier as the 70's always look like a fun time.
Absolutely cracking set of norks from that young bird at 1.15.... well done !!
Just getting back into the 70s spirit ok don't hate
Norks? 😂
@@brianmelcarr
Her globes were warming! 😍
AINT THEY
Norks! There’s a word I haven’t heard in a long time lol
Well said Frank.
Was 10yrs old but the Slender Health Club was still going in the '80s. Spent a number of years there great memories!
You must be really slender
@John Morgan, was that clip by any chance Stillorgan, the block where the Mill House is, and was the Mill House in existence in 1976?
Ah, slenderman, we meet again...
where was it?
Any happy endings
It was nearly a three month heatwave. If it were today it would be a yellow weather heat warning nearly every day.
We barely get 3 day heatwaves anymore, never mind 3 month.

@@gulag8735 WOW...Great proof that. Does your tinfoil hat fall off when you look up?
I never cease to be amazed how modern the background looks by the mid 70s. The 60s looks much older in feel at times yet this is only six years away.
The 1970s was completely different than 60s now you mention it. Even the movies on tv from usa became suddenly very interesting, not the camp 60s drap stuff.
@@dagre1839 It's like everything became suddenly modern, particularly the late 70s. Sometimes it's almost indistinguishable from the early 80s at times.
🤣
A moron had to chime in.
Colour TV?
A fine pair
"Soaring temperatures" indeed. I spent that roasty, toasty summer in Somerset as a carefree 24 year old with a sports car. Talk about memories...
Nah, I'd rather talk about 'mammaries,' like the ones at 1:15.

Interesting thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Ohh old Ireland 🇮🇪 I miss ya so much
Compare the cheerfulness of that heatwave to the doom and gloom of the heatwave we have just had.
Back then it was just a heatwave and not cast as the harbinger of a future full of death and starvation. It's no wonder that so many people, especially the young, are so wracked by anxiety. You would think that after the end of net neutrality not being fatal they'd catch on to the grift.
Media love to put people in a frenzy
A heat wave isn't officially called a heat wave until its lasted 5 consecutive days, now when it goes above 85F for 2hrs in the afternoon they climate fear mongers claim its a dangerous heat wave
I enjoyed it. ^^
@@cvn6555 old people, bitter and prejudice, jumping to conclusions and lacking depth to understand the harsh realities of the future. But why would they care? They lived in the fuck around period, and now the young are left to find out.
I grew up literally 1km from that spot in Allen Park Road! Would have been 10years old at the time and would daily walk down to the shops right by where he did this report. They were happy days
Are you still crippled by the horn?
Where was the travel agent?
I remember it well, the year after I left School. The council made a huge paddling pool out of Scaffolding tubes and massive sheets of plastic and The fire Brigade came and filled it with Water from a Hydrant for the kids to play in. Can you imagine that happening today? Not a chance. Life was so simple and times were Happy.
... hello fellow human. Just like the generations before you thought their time was simpler and happier
There is a disconnect between the internet world and the world before, but what can u do

I remember it well, lovely sunshine for 3 months last proper summer we had
1995, 2018?
Whilst these blast from the past videos are always hilarious, I am always kind of jealous that there was so much open space back then. Hardly any traffic jams, the sidewalk wasn't busy with people pushing by, you could look at the hills and see nature, now it's nothing but developments littered all across the green fields. How times have changed.
I was thinking the same. Even the cars that were there, were so small! They barely took up any room at all.
This is what happens when the world is invited to live in your back yard
It's still like this in Ireland for the most part. Cities grow of course but there's plenty of space still left
Lol that's because everyone had emigrated from Ireland
@@nothanks1239 They were small and terrible to drive! Plenty of small cars in today’s market are luxury vehicles in comparison.
Just what is needed in this weather, two big delicious jugs
of ice cold lemonade.
Great pair of knockers at the end
What a lovely Irish lady at 1:15 😍
There was 5 consecutive days in June 1976 when the temperature reached 32 degrees in parts of Ireland. I remember it well cos I got sun stroke!! Can't understand recent reports saying the temperature of 31 degrees was the highest since record's began!!!!
40c recently here in London. 32c is just a good summer's day most summers.
@@everready2903 Not really last summer was pretty normal in England around 25 degrees C if that most days and dull but no one mentioned it for some reason, strange that. Whenever we have normal weather no one mentions it......
@@chatteyj Most of the recorded highest temperatures on record are in the last 10yrs or so.
@@everready2903 Don't you believe it , Tony Blair had the Cambridge University's destroy their weather records going back 200 years or he was going to withdraw Government grants to them . Notice how we now get half the energy for twice the price ?
Sea is rising , no it's not . Aussie Mussel and Oyster growers will tell you their frames are most productive at 600mm to 1200mm deep , they have never had to adjust the height . . ever !
38 degrees where I lived near Liverpool.
That ending though....🤣
Colm Connolly way back when, can remember that amazing summer of 1976, the biggest part was while I was doing my leaving cert. Baking in the exams halls and happy to be able to chill down in the river Liffey after.
This is the year I was born 😭 lol the style is awesome 🤣
1:18
Those are some nice flyers in the window you have.
Right out there for all gentlemen of culture to admire.
Admirable.
The dashboard softeners looked rather delightful!
Of course everyone's here to see how hot, it was back then..

Yep, the greatest summer ever 1976, I remember it so well because I was 14 years old and wearing just a pair of swimming trunks when I fell off my bike straight into a clump of huge stinging nettles *phucking ouch* wasn't the word.
You don't see stinging nettles growing by the side of the road or in fields much these days

I was born in '78
My two older sisters and my brother were born in 1967, '68, and '69
They would definitely remember the legendary heatwave of '76 in ireland 🇮🇪
My father (r.i.p) used to reminisce about the 1976 scorcher in ireland 🇮🇪
Apparently it lasted for months

Damn what a cracking pair! Ireland in 76 is it, i'll remember that when i get my time machine
Of course me being an aficionado of Irish weather during the 1970s was the only reason for me clicking on that thumbnail...
Oh really? I was only in it for the tits
There's a lot to unpack in this report...👀.
You’re going to need to watch it again, to make sure that you didn’t accidentally miss anything.
They would not get away with the ending of this report nowadays. Which is really sad because it's harmless. She was just happy to get the national attention 😂
god forbid promoting heterosexual ideology!!
I was thinking the same thing myself. Absolute comedy gold, like something Ron burgundy himself would do.
It would be no problem is she were a he, had blue hair, and represented 18 letters of the alphabet.
Don't worry, go on tic tok.. They still love the attention even though they say they don't 🤦♂️
omg look at those cars; this is wild. thanks for the vid
I was 2 then. Used to hear my parents talking of this
I was 7 years old in 76 in Coatbridge...it wS Roastin..
I travelled to London in a Morris Marina via the M4 with 3 mates in 1976😆. Always remember sticking to the fake leather seats with the heat! When we got to London they were charging 5 pounds a can for ice cold Coke cans in Hyde Park!
Oh my God !!!! £5 in 1976 was an absolute fortune for a can of coke !!!!!
£5 a can?? Sounds wrong to me
Probably meant £5 for a gram of Coke 😃

I was only born in 1976. But while the 80's was my favourite decade, and a terrific time in being a child in Ireland in comparison to now, I have no doubt that the 70's were equally as good, I've been told this.
The summer's of '75 and '76, the windiest year of '74.
Overall, I think the summer's in the 70's and 80's were more consistently better weather wise than the 90's, 00's and now.
Brilliant times, brilliant memories. Colm Connolly was a terrific reporter. Very naturally comfortable 👌.
Great times they must have been.
@eoin noonan If I had a time machine Eoin, I certainly wouldn't be remaining in the present, and I don't want to go in the future.
The past was not perfect, but you know what, the devil you know, is better than the devil you don't know. I'd still prefer to go back.
I was born in 1993, and I believe people (nowadays) tend to believe the past was better. I now believe that to some extent this is true, because people in that past were less afraid of the future, less afraid of their own lives in the future, they had to do less math in their heads, and they had (a lot more) children. Now, everyone feels insecure about the future, and noone has children. We buy more products, but we seem sad and more afraid than ever before of the future. I believe this will ultimately have to change in the not so distant future. Then again, maybe it's just me.
@@tomorrowneverdies567 Absolutely 💯 👍 agree.
On the flip side people born your generation (born in the mid 70s) would been the first where a large proportion of the generation would not be force to emigrant by the weakness of the domestic labour market. Change is rarely uniformly good or bad.
@@MrBobsmith34 Very true in relation to your point in when people are born in, we were very lucky that we didn't have to emigrate, but I'd have to completely disagree over what defines change. There's good change and bad change, human conditioned and created outside of our control. That's how I view it.
Down here in County Kerry in the 1980’s, rural Ireland, villages and towns were bustling in the 1980’s, they kept communities intact. Now, it's nothing. Our summer's were better too. And make absolutely no mistake about this at all whatsoever, mainstream chart music was better than the shit of today that passes as music. Utter scum music. There were problems for sure back then, plenty, still though, for me, life is about percentages game, what's overall positive and negative.
My time machine would not be taking me into the future, and certainly not in the present, I'd be going back, lost too many loved one's and friends passed away. Not back then though. We hadn't much at all, but I was definitely happier. It was pure, meaningful and with purpose, today? Nothing.
1:17 is the most intriguing part of the news cast … for about 15 secs I could actually feel the heat from the heat wave.
Me too.
It's Ireland though so the heatwave would've been a blistering 18 Celsius.
1:15 Adam Driver with mustache was the coolest guy on the warm days of the 70s.
You played the algorithm like a fiddle.
Love it!
This is wholesome and informative TV.
I had no idea that Adam Driver's grandfather was an Irish travel agent.
Ok
Well spotted..... blessings
I bet there is a few men of culture here!!! 😂
The power of a thumbnail 😁
I enjoyed the chat with Adam Driver.

Nice baps on the burgers in the 70's a lad told me
What a beautiful pair
Great video! Thanks. Speaking of which.... Who has leaved the world among those guys!?!
1:16 There you go boys
Gotta love the 70s
that ending was unexpected
Lord Have Mercy! That lady's nearly bare! RTE had the highest ratings ever the day of this broadcast. Men weren't seen at work for days and strangest of all, all priests and clergymen disappeared for 24 hours only to return with broken spectacles, missing teeth and the odd eyebrow missing as well.
I miss 70s women. More "girl next door" types, and best of all, full bushes.
Heatwave?!?!?
Here in Australia, I will still wear a suit-jacket in these balmy temperatures.
No exaggeration.
Almost as if you live in a country known for high temperatures or something.
In a heatwave like that I only dream of motorboarding.
Lovely flapjacks.
I was a mistake in life because of this
Aaaa the time before mass psycchosis. When Summer was just...summer instead of our imminent destruction according to the 'news'.
Not going to lie, surprised everyone is talking about the woman in the thumbnail, and there's me over here thinking "Is that Adam Driver in the thumbnail?"
Yeah same here! There he was in 1976, he’s a time traveler lol
Looked awesome...back then.
Thank God for the Irish heatwave of 1976.
Irish heatwave. what's that? 16 degrees Celsius like?
What beautiful weather
