Be Prepared for Ireland's Weather
These guidelines will help you to deal with whatever the weather in Ireland throws at you!
-
No matter what time of year you travel bring rainwear (light in summer, more substantial in winter) and at least one warm sweater.
-
Follow the example of the Irish and wear layers of clothing that you can remove if it becomes warmer or put on if the temperature drops.
-
If you visit Ireland in summer bring plenty of T-shirts and light clothing - it is usually warm for a few days at a time, honestly!
-
Remember to take sturdy waterproof shoes. In many scenic locations the grass can be wet even on bright days with typically heavy morning dews.
-
Bring an umbrella by all means, but make it a sturdy one - showers are often accompanied by blustery winds which can play havoc with light umbrellas.
Never make the mistake of thinking it's safe to leave your waterproofs behind in your hotel - the weather can change very quickly.
If you are bringing children on your trip it is especially important to have some activities planned that can be continued with if the weather makes touring impossible. Adults can stuggle on through the rain, children are less sanguine about it!
