Weather in Ireland

The weather in Ireland can be very temperamental, although this shouldn’t deter you from visiting. Regardless of what the weather brings you can rest assured that you will have a pleasant stay. There is actually a saying in Ireland that states “You don’t go to Ireland for the weather”

In the winter months the temperature ranges from 40 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit when compared to the summer months where the temperature ranges from 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Ireland is known for its rain and snow. This seems to occur more in the West when compared to the East, and can even occur in the summer months. You may also be subjected to storms which travel in from the Atlantic without any warning. It can also rain and then follow with sunny weather that makes you forget it ever rained in the first place.

When packing for your travels to Ireland it is worth noting that the Irish weather is difficult to predict, so therefore pack warm clothes, such as heavy jacket, gloves and hat as well as your summer clothes. Also pack some casual jeans and t-shirts whilst taking into consideration as to whether you will require warm smart clothes should you happen to dine out in the evening. If you happen to forget to pack any of the essentials do not worry too much. There are many shops scattered throughout Ireland which sell any clothes you may need, and they needn’t be too expensive.

It is also worth nothing that if the weather does take a turn for the worst there are plenty of places and sight you can visit which are sheltered and held indoors. There are also many cafes, restaurants and bars where you can get warm as well as experiencing the warmth from the locals.
