What to Pack

Let’s talk about Irish weather! Discussing the weather is practically a national pastime. You can experience four seasons in one day, so layers are your friend. In the second part of July, daytime highs typically hover between 16 – 28°C (60 – 82°F), and nighttime lows usually dip to 11 –12°C (52 – 54°F). July is fairly wet, and humidity is high. 

Please review the additional activities you have booked and pack any items needed specifically for those.
