Question

What is the weather in Ireland in May?

Answer 1

You never know. It changes from year to year. That's the one reliable thing about the weather in Ireland, you can't count on it at all.

Answer 2

The weather there is always kinda sulky, I lived there for a year and even in summer it was very rainy. Especially in May or springtime you are going to be looking at a rainy time. But hey, it is always like that so you might as well go then, it won't really make a difference...

Answer 3

Irish weather is amongst the most unpredictable in the world.

So the most you can predict is probably the average temperature which will be cool with rain periods.

Answer 4

Often cold to freezing. My husbands bday is 18th of May and he says it had almost ALWAYS rained on his birthday. Hehe my bday is 08/08 and I grew up in Spain. It never rained on my bday until I moved to Ireland :-(

Answer 5

Strangely enough May is the driest month according to records.

I wouldn't listen to anyone who has spent just a year here!!! Weather is so changeable. I can say without argument tho that rain will hit you sometime!
