Rain and wind gear: Umbrella and good wallking shoes
  • Tip Rating:
  • We hardly had a summer here.. so always pack wet gear..and something trendy to wear out at night.. otherwise you will be refused entry, especially wearing trainers. Lots of cobblestones in some parts of the city so do take a good pair of walking shoes with you. This year 2006 we are having fantastic weather, hotter than the med. Check the weather before you arrive. Nothing worse than being too cold /warm.

    You can buy anything you want here...

    Expensive, buy before you arrive.

    Irish people and the weather:
    It is often said that the Irish are a Mediterranean people who only come into their own when the sun shines on consecutive days
    (which it last did around the time of St Patrick). For this reason, Irish people
    dress for conditions in Palermo rather than Dublin; and it is not unusual in March to see young people sipping cool beer outside city pubs and cafes, enjoying the air and the soft caress of hailstones on their skin. The Irish
    attitude to weather is the ultimate triumph of optimism over experience:
    Every time it rains, we look up at the sky and are shocked and betrayed.
    Then we go out and buy a new umbrella.

  • Dublin can be wet with a damp cold. Some rain wear is helpful and the damp cold can really get into you, so bring warm clothes and good shoes or boots.

    No problem here. Plenty of Chemists shops, including some 24 hours ones.

    No problem here again. Plenty of shops, sellimg film and also plenty of photographic shops about.

    Rain and wind gear: A little damp
  • Tip Rating:
  • Dublin is a great city, but unfortunately it can be a bit cold and it does rain a fair bit. So just make sure you have an umbrella on you (just a small one will do). And dressing in layers also helps on cooler days.

    Any toiletries or medical supplies that you might need should be readily available at any chemist in Dublin.

    A good camera to capture all the sights of Dublin - unfortunately I did not take enough photos with mine, but there is always next time!

    Be sure you're prepared for rain. My raincoat was always with me and I used it a lot. The skies over Dublin can turn from calm and blue to gray and turbulent in a hurry.

    Rain and wind gear: Prepare yourself for Irish weather
  • Tip Rating:
  • Bring wellies, or at least water resistant shoes, an umbrella or a rain coat! Since you are never sure when it's gonna start pouring.
    However if you dress in all this gear at once everyone will know you are a tourist, sometimes I suspect that the Dubs' are water resistant themselves...

    Rain and wind gear: The basics
  • Tip Rating:
  • US Tourists take note: NOBODY IN IRELAND WEARS FANNY PACKS/BUMBAGS, they make you stick out as a tourist. Same applies to aran jumpers, baseball caps, college jerseys and older American guys with jeans. I'm only telling you for your own good. There is nothing wrong with being a tourist but there is plenty wrong with getting mugged because you attracted the wrong kind of attention.

    An umbrella would be useful, but you'd probably lose it! :) A good warm jacket will see you through.

    It will always threaten to rain or just rain, so layering your clothes (vest/t-shirt/jumper/hoody/coat) is the way to go - only tourists wear those special rain jackets.

    You can get these in local supermarkets like Tesco, Dunnes Stores or Roches Stores or in Boots Chemists which have branches in Dublin city cente and all over Ireland

    Boots Chemist for rolls of film. There is a camera store on Grafton St, on the Stephens Green end if you need more high-spec gear. Plenty of internet cafes and chemists will let you upload your digital camera shots too.

    Rain and wind gear: Packing List
  • Tip Rating:
  • Always take an umbrella or something for the rain. In fact it´s more like a drizzling rain, not too bad really. We had a lot of sunshine in December and it has been quite warm.........

    Batteries are expensive, so make sure about yours before leaving home.....

    Don´t bring too many things , leave some space in your case to go shopping!!!

  • Irish weather is very changeable so you need to be prepared for all eventualities!!!! You can get all four seasons in one day at times ........

    The easiest thing is to bring layers & include something waterproof!!!

    Rain and wind gear: Packing List
  • Tip Rating:
  • The only thing that I can think of to pack for Dublin that you wouldn't necessarily pack for any other destination might be an umbrella. It rarely buckets here in Dublin but a frequent (constant) drizzle is not uncommon.

    Actually I found a waterproof coat more convenient because sometimes it gets windy and then an umbrella is more of a hinderance than a help.
