Yes, it rains in Ireland, that's why it's green, but not all the time, and there's always a handy pub...

When to travel to Ireland for your tour: weather and seasons

Ireland's not called the Emerald Isle for nothing, but it doesn't rain as much as you might think. Still, expect a shower at any time. The weather is warmest in July and August, but as usual in Europe, that's when the crowds are greatest. April and May are claimed to be the driest months, but can be a bit cool (12-14 C). Average monthly daytime temperatures are much the same as England. In summer, temperatures hover around 20°C for the most part, although Ireland's weather is notoriously unpredictable and changeable. By October the average is back down to 14 C again. The second half of the year is wetter than the first, so being a bit of a cold and wet weather wimp I'd go for June or brave the crowds in July-August.

Events, Festivals

There are a HUGE number of events and festivals, both traditional and modern, in Ireland.
