Spring Weather & What to Expect
Springtime in Ireland is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get! Daily temperatures can range from chilly lows of about 39°F (4°C) to warmer highs around 61°F (16°C).
It can feel pretty humid at times, especially when those surprise showers pop up outta nowhere, and don’t forget the wind that can sneak up on you like a mischievous leprechaun. One minute you might be basking in the sun and the next you’re dodging raindrops, so be prepared for all kinds of weather surprises!
When it comes to clothing, layering is your best buddy. Think comfy sweaters, a light waterproof jacket, and maybe even a scarf just for good measure.
You’ll wanna be ready to peel off a layer when the sun decides to shine, but also have that raincoat ready to go when the clouds roll in. Trust me, your future self will high-five you for being smart about your outfit choices!
What is the weather like in Ireland in March?
March weather in Ireland is cold, wet and windy. You might get a pretty sunny day but you shouldn’t count on it. The average highs of 10–13°C (50–55°F) and lows around 4–6°C (39–43°F) will fool you into thinking it is not that cold, but add the frequent rain and windy conditions and you get a temp feel that is definitely closer to winter than spring. Layering is essential for city walking and sightseeing.
What fabrics work best for Ireland’s rainy spring?
Quick-drying and water-resistant fabrics are best. Think polyester, nylon or blends. Cotton can get soggy and stay wet.
Are raincoats necessary in Ireland during spring?
Yes. Showers can come and go quickly and a proper raincoat (not just a light jacket) makes a big difference. Bonus points if it has a hood.
What kind of shoes are best for rainy Irish weather?
Waterproof boots or sneakers with good grip. You’ll likely be walking a lot and puddles are everywhere. Avoid anything suede or thin-soled.
