I hear so much about the rain in Ireland ... Like every other conversation has something to do with rain. I don't get it ... Where exactly are these ppl who say it rains a lot from ... Arizona? In East Tennessee we get an average of about 55-60 inches a year from what I've found Dublin gets about 30 inches. I think I may be the only person to step foot on Ireland who will see less rain lol. In this part of the US our mountains are considered a temperate rainforest. We see rain almost every week. It's called the Great Smoky Mountains because clouds get trapped here and it rains and rains. The heat causes evaporation refueling the clouds again that mix with new clouds coming in from the gulf.
I welcome Irish weather. Slán
