    Ireland's weather

    This is absolutely our favourite subject and probably the opening line of every conversation with an Irish person... ever. Because Ireland's weather has done more than sculpt our landscape; it's shaped our very culture. Forecast data provided by met.ie.

    Ireland is always in season

    The lush green promise of spring, those endless summer evenings, the kaleidoscope of autumn leaves and the still beauty of a frosty winter's morning. We love them all.

    Weather talk – Ireland style

    1
    "The sun is splitting the stones."
    Yes, it DOES happen sometimes. The heat from the shy Irish sun soaks into the stones and warms us from the ground up. Often followed by complaints about how it's almost too hot.
    2
    "That wind would cut you in two."
    A wind so sharp and so cold, it could actually do harm. This wind often comes from the east, which may explain why so many Irish people are suspicious of the east wind.
    3
    "It's a soft day."
    This refers to the good kind of rain – a gentle mist that makes our green landscape almost glow. Not to be confused with "a dirty old day" – that's the bad rain.
