Ireland

The summers here are warm and the winters are moderate with some

snow. May and June are the sunniest months. Weather changes quite

frequently from cloudy to sunny and vice versa. If you’re planning a visit

during the summer, lightweight clothes are recommended and a jacket for

spring and autumn. Always carry a raincoat for those untimely showers.

In case of an emergency, call 999 or 112.
