Irish winters are quite cold and rainy too but the conditions are rarely extreme so don't let it stop you from getting out and about and enjoying what the country has to offer.
From June to September the weather in Ireland is much milder. It's bright outside and it gets warmer. Summers in Ireland can be marked by weather which is a little unpredictable. You may wake up in the morning to sun and by lunch be reaching for your umbrella.
