Weather in Ireland.

The dominant influence on Ireland's climate is the Atlantic Ocean and the prevailing winds. Consequently, Ireland does not suffer from the extremes of temperature experienced by many other countries at similar latitude.

The summer months can provide many a glorious day with temperatures averaging 20 degrees C or 68 degrees F provoking the infamy of the Irish weather to be somewhat of a myth.

Yes the weather is changeable but the rain can easily blow away as fast as it can be blown in, so never be put off by a possible gloomy start to the day and likewise always be prepared with waterproofs at the ready.

It’s worth noting that the most popular weather report throughout Ireland is “sunny spells with outbreaks of rain” – in fact it’s a wonder why they employ weathermen at all?

The hours of daylight in Ireland also vary quite considerably between summer and winter months. For golfing groups, this can be quite an important factor.
