29.1C = 84F
That's the all-time record for Ireland for September. I didn't realize Ireland was that cool.
33°C (91.4F) was the hottest temp ever recorded in Ireland. It's was recorded last summer. We don't get hot here. Everyone learns in geography class that Ireland's climate is describes and moist, mild and changeable.
You should add that while yes 33C was recorded last year, it was previously recorded once before in 1887.
If that is the hottest EVER recorded, than that is indeed very mild. It is above that temperature right now today here in New England and it might be hotter still in the coming days. And we aren't anywhere near the record high.
