Ireland in autumn can experience very strong wind and frequent rain. As the transitional period between summer and winter, things start to get noticeably colder in the autumn. You’ll need layers, especially at night when temperatures drop even more. The blue skies and sunny days make you feel warm but this quickly goes away when the sun sets.

With the chillier weather, it’s the perfect time to wear light pullover sweaters, hats, scarves, and boots. Pair an oversized sweater with skinny jeans and knee-high boots. Layer with a scarf and add a coat or parka in the evenings when it gets colder.

A waterproof jacket, as you know, is a very important item to throw into your bag. Ireland is well known for its occasional drizzle, it doesn’t matter which season it is! Waterproof jackets are not too heavy to wear even if the weather is humid.

Spring in Ireland can be (no surprise) unpredictable. Expect milder temperatures with wind and spells of sunshine. It still rains a lot, so you’ll definitely need a waterproof jacket, like one of these. And don’t forget to carry a compact umbrella at all times in Ireland, so you’re prepared for spontaneous showers.

A felt hat is another great item to pack for your trip. It looks classy and can mask any bad hair days caused by the wild Irish wind.

Spring is that transition period between winter and summer, so layers are still important, but in the later months think about swapping that chunky winter coat for a regular jacket. Sweaters, jackets, and tees are perfect. If it suits your style, leather jackets are perfect for days where the weather is crisp yet mild.
