Ireland weather 'four' all seasons daily!

Ireland weather is generally very mild but changeable, to say the least often on a daily or even hourly basis! But the flip side is, we don’t get extremes, it's never too hot or too cold. The average temperature is about 9 degrees celsius, with summer highs of 20+ and winter lows of -5 at night. The best months for sunshine are usually May, June and September. The last couple of summers have been quite wet, so no point in telling you any lies on that score, but we are always hopeful of a good summer, next year?

Being used to rain, the forty shades of green wouldn’t exist in a drought? we have developed our own vocabulary or 'excuse' for it. A wet day is known as a soft day regardless of whether (he,he) its a light mist or the horizontal stuff that batters us from the Atlantic with brief interludes such as? The occasional perfectly still, warm and sunny day we sometimes get in the middle of winter which is called a pet day when all is well with ourselves,our neighbours and the world in general....

Note its called a pet day as in singular you never get two in a row, which is not the case with another favourite Ireland weather term it's a day for the high stool. Which means that the weather is going to be so cold, wet and miserable (and it could go on for weeks) that you have no choice but to head for the pub!

Which is where we could be all headed shortly as we are headed for a cold snap that is being expertly predicted and commented on daily in an excellent new website Irish weather Online.com. Where you can also find great photos posted daily from all over Ireland. Plus all associated caint or chat and up-to-the-minute weather forecast for whatever part of Ireland you intend visiting.

Regardless of when my advice is to pack a rainproof jacket and or lightweight fleece, you can always get wellies or flipflops while you are here! Or indeed, a nice traditional, hand knitted Aran jumper to look the part or get spotted as a tourist 10 miles off, if you fancy?
