Ireland Weather?

Question

I am seriously considering studying abroad in Ireland ... but I'm having a hard time choosing when. I have the option of going late September- late December or late January- late may. I'm trying to pick a time where the weather would be warmest. What would you suggest? Serious answers only - please.

Answer 1

Ireland is at the northern part of the gulf stream.  Because of the currents and winds coming from so far south, the weather is  basically the same year round.  It very rarely gets below freezing and its warmest days are in july when it is around 68 degrees.  It pretty much rains a fine mist off and on every day, so bring an umbrella.  You don't leave the house without one in Ireland (why do you think their grass is so green, you've never seen anything like it).

Answer 2

September! Have fun on your trip!!!!

Answer 3

for the best weather in ireland.....you would have to come during the summer....so the best option for you to travel here would be january to may.....

it will obvious that the weather wont be great all the time as Ireland is more or less a country of mixed weather systems...

**one day the sun might be shining....

**the next the might be a storm....

**and then the sun might be shining the next day.....

as i said...mixe weather systems!!

anyway i hope i helped...

have fun travelling in Ireland...

Answer 4

They're both quite similar because You might get a bit of sunshine in September and then it gets cold at the end of October. For me, I'd find September-Late December way more convenient seeing it's before Christmas and everything.

January-Middle of March are quite cold and April is an ok month. In May, there is a possibility of sun.

Good Luck. = )

Answer 5

This is a serious answer. The weather in Ireland is completely unpredictable - last year in April the weather was incredibly warm and sunny, in the twenties celsius, but June, July and August were cold, wet and miserable. September might be your best bet, there's usually what we call an 'Indian Summer' usually right when the schools start up again.

People don't really come to Ireland for the good weather, mate. They come in spite of it.

Answer 6

I think you should go for January-May, because during that time the days will be getting longer and it might possibly be warm and dry by May.  Whereas if you do September-December the days will be getting shorter, darker, colder and wetter.

Answer 7

It's pretty much the same... the worst month are January to March, and the best May to July. If you come in late September days will be very short (in terms of light) and go shorter and shorter, and the weather is likely to be wet and cold, if you come in January instead, days will be the shortest of the year and the weather the most miserable ever, but at least you'll see the weather improve and the temperatures go up. So, I would go for January-May. Good luck!

Answer 8

I'd say Late January-Late May!

Hope I helped!
