It's a four season country....maybe all in one day!
I noticed everyone likes to talk about the weather in Ireland.
The daily temps are highly unpredictable from morning to night, day to day,
all across this tiny island
and you'll find that's a BIG DEAL in Ireland.
Ireland's climate is influenced most by the Atlantic Ocean. As a result, it doesn’t have the extreme temperatures that other countries at similar latitude would have. The average temperature is a mild 50°F.
In spring (February to April), the average highest temperatures range from 46 to 54°F, with April considered particularly pleasant. In summer (May to July), the averages for highest temperatures are between 64 and 68°F.
This isn't Florida....and isn't that some of the beauty of exploring new places?
It's exactly ONE year until we depart the USA,
but nonetheless the next question is "what do I pack?"
And you'll be glad to know casual clothes are in order,
and yes, you will normally not hear me say it,
but jeans are okay for day to day activities and touring in Ireland.
ONE Exception, where NOT to wear jeans:
* Your tour does include one 5 star dining experience on the Orient Express,
so a cocktail hour blouse & slacks or dress for women, with a sport coat for men is required.
You'll need to be adaptable. Take layers you can put on or take off as the temperature changes. Bring a sweater, even in summer; waterproof jacket, shoes & umbrella to accompany all outdoor activities; sunglasses; comfortable walking shoes always. No white athletic shoes (it shouts, "I am an American").
Don't be fooled into thinking you won't need sunscreen – during summer the sun shines in Ireland quite strong, so wear it and bring a sunhat.
