Irish Climate & Clothing
Climate in Ireland:
Ireland is notorious for experiencing cold, damp weather for much of the time. This is due to its temperate climate, but is compensated for by its delightful green countryside.
Ireland is, however, possible to enjoy some warm, sunny and dry days during the pleasant summer months between May and September, and this is the best time to travel to Ireland.
Irish winter days are short, usually rainy and foggy, but the Gulf Stream winds batter the west coast ensuring that temperatures remain above freezing.
Required Clothing for Ireland: Light- to mediumweights and rainwear are advised.
