weather

Ireland's climate is influenced by the
warm waters of the Gulf Stream, and is in
the path of the prevailing southwesterly
winds coming from the Atlantic Ocean.
This makes for equitable conditions over
the whole country and means Ireland is
never exposed to extremes of weather.

The coldest months are January and
February, while July and August are
warmest. Over the year it generally gets
no colder than 1 degree Celsius (34 F) or
warmer than about 20 degrees Celsius
(68 F). Ireland is renowned for its rain. It
can rain at any time of the year, but does
so most often in the winter and in the
western half of the country.
