Climate & Weather
Nobody comes to Ireland for the weather. It's often a concern for visitors that the weather is so unpredictable, and it certainly is true that there is no season or time of year when sunny weather is guaranteed.
But the good thing is that the Irish climate is a temperate one, so while the sun may not always shine and you are likely to see at least some rain, at least you know that there will be none of the extremes that other countries experience.
The articles below contain enough information to ensure that you are prepared for whatever the Irish weather throws at you.
