Ireland: The most changeable Country

by arty_girl

Hi thereUnpredictable is a good description. Yesterday I was in shorts and tshirt and too warm, today I'm shivering and wearing a coat.A good packing list for this time of year might be:1. Raincoats & Umbrellas (There's a shop in Ireland called Penney which sell umbrellas very cheap) I'd just buy them here if you're planning on packing light. It sells clothes too and is renowned for being cheap.2. Good walking/hiking shoes (especially for countryside), a pair of sandals can be good for shopping or suny weather... a pair of smart shoes for evenings wouldn't be a bad idea either! 3. One good tip is to layer your clothes. On an average day I wear a strappy top, a tshirt and a cardigan/hoody (often all at once in the morning, then if it gets warmer I can just de-layer) 4. Suncream (you might just get overcast weather the whole time but it can reach into the high 20's if you're lucky so...

Road maps !

by knierpieper

When you book a trip or rent a car you always get those flimsy roadmaps ! In the pages i read people are always complaining that they got lost because the signposts for towns and villages are in gaelic.Here's my tip: Buy a Ordnance Survey Ireland map of the area that you're in, the town and village names are there in Gaelic and English they're also available with a plastic coating specialy for hikers bikers andcyclists ! cost about 6.60 euro's in Ireland here in The Netherlands 10,33 Euro's but it is money well spent scale of the maps 1: 50.000. Archeological sites,walkways etc. and other points of interest are mapped on these great maps

Electronic gizmos and adapters to bring

by ralph.soule

One wheeled bag and one backpack only, especially if you are going to be riding the train. Shoes that can get wet and still keep your feet dry. I brought three outlet adapters for iPod, digital cameras, HD movie camera, laptop (to upload pictures from camera and make Facebook updates), cell phone, and iPad. There were some nights when I needed all three adapters to charge devices for ourselves and the other couple that traveled with us. I brought a digital voice recorder on several tours after the second day. I should have done this earlier (Dublin Castle tour, Trinity College tour) because the tour guides speak quickly and you are often challenged to understand just what is in some of the pictures you take. My digital camera has an option to allow you to associate voice memos with pictures, but I did not use this as much as I should have.

Waterproofs

by jo104

walking shoes is a good idea, a good windbreaker & waterproofs. It does happen to rain often on ones parade!! You will need a UK 3 square prong adaptor a european adaptor will not work here Currency is Euro

Be ready for rain

by donpaul77

Even if you are going there in the summer, be prepared for rain and wind with a light waterproof jacket that you can easily carry with you. Also, bring a light to medium wool or fleece sweater, any time of year. If you prepare for rough weather, it won't ruin your trip!

FOOD!

by LSUbelle11

If you're a student or you're going to be cooking in your hostel or hotel, you may want to look into bringing your favorite American foods along with you. DEFINITELY take spices (like Louisiana's Tony Chacherie's) if you're not used to bland food.Also, the one thing that I wished I would have brought was Easy Mac! Or even regular macaroni! They don't have ANY!

June and July

by LSUbelle11

SPLURGE ON AN EXPENSIVE CONVERTER! I got one from Brookstone for around $40 and was SO glad I bought it. I had friends whose hairdryers blew up in their hands and Chi straighteners melted because they had a crappy converter. It's an investment and definitely worth the money! You could just wait and buy your electronics there, but they're pretty expensive. I would DEFINITELY encourage the Brookstone converter if you're bringing a laptop or some other expensive electronic! I was told that an Irish summer was like spring in Louisiana-- pretty comfortable, around 60 or 70 degrees. In July, that is basically the case, but in June, it is FREEZING! Make sure to bring an umbrella and rain jacket and rain boots if you have them. Layers are a must-- I bought tons of scarves. A peacoat would have been ideal. I also have some silk underwear from skiing that I wish I would have brought to wear...

DOn't Forget to Bring Warm CLothes

by Rinjani

Although it's summer, you still need to pack jacket and sweater. Temperature is nice, although weather can easily change to rainy and windy.Bring the good walking shoes. The beautiful countryside of Ireland will make you walk, walk and walk. Also, good walking socks are useful.

Thanks to the Gulf Stream the climate in Ireland is very mild. The warmest months are Mai to August with 16 - 19°C (51°F - 67°F) the coldest December and January with highs around 8°C (48°F ) and lows around 3°C (37°F). Spring and Autumn are usually moderate with 10 to 12°C (50 - 55°F).There is no special rainy season in Ireland. The maximum is in winter. However, the average number of days with precipitation lies every mounth above 25 - so expect every day a short shower. Long rainy periods are likely in winter.
