Climate	The climate in Ireland is fairly temperate, as it is largely regulated by the warm Gulf Stream of the Atlantic Ocean. It doesn't have the extreme temperatures that other countries at a similar latitude would have.
Transport	Buses are the main form of public transport. The major cities have their own suburban rail networks.
Best time to travel	The best time is summer (July and August) when temperatures are warm and festivals fill the streets. This is also the busiest and most expensive time to visit. Spring and fall are the happy medium — moderate temperatures, crowds and prices.
What to wear	Expect four-seasons-in-a-day. From cold winters to seemingly endless rain, picking a wardrobe for a trip to Ireland is no easy task. Smart casual wear is probably the best fallback.
