Best Time to Visit Ireland
Anytime from April to September provides the best weather to experience Ireland, due to longer days and median temperatures.
Traveling in winter months means more dreary weather that can make sightseeing less radiant, but it doesn’t largely affect city experiences and lessens the crowds.
Whenever you go, be prepared for rain and take many types of layers so you can be comfortable as the temperature varies throughout the day.
