      I know it rains alot but heat doesn’t reach dangerous temperatures here and plenty of growth for crops grass and gardens so yes we’re pretty lucky with our climate.

    2. silverbirch26 on

      Yes – we hate it but really it’s mild and rarely dangerous, and well suited to food production

      I’ve always maintained that Ireland, in particular the east coast of Ireland is the most benign environment in the universe

      Would not pick another climate to live in. Visit yea, but I am built for this county.

      I’m sorry but can we please resume back to shitting on itrland, this positivity is unsettling

      Living in Spain, I can attest that Ireland has the better climate.

    7. NopePeaceOut2323 on

      Yes I heard many scientists say we will fair better than all the other countries. It will be warmer and wetter and we’re seeing that already but nothing as extreme as other countries. 

    8. doriangrey69 on

      Obviously not. For most of the year we’re not even able to properly live outside in the country. We exist in our homes and the pub and our cars.

      Not to mention how dark it gets

      As my cousin is being cooked alive in Spain as I type this, I’m going to say yes.

      As someone currently living in a big city in a very hot and humid Asian country, very much yes. I miss the climate in Ireland. Yeah, it might rain quite a lot, but it also rains like f*ck here, whereas in Ireland it’s rarely so heavy, and tbh, the rain is a feckin relief sometimes.

      I have to use AC all the time. It’s difficult to go out during the day if it’s not raining (and if it is). Riding a motorbike with proper gear on would give you heatstroke, so you have to chance it in just a helmet and a t-shirt and shorts. I’m just not built for it, but I need to be here for business.

      Gonna retire in Ireland for sure…

      Should we do something about the collapsing AMOC, or continue trusting the luck?

    12. Yes, for the moment, though that’s subject to change as the planet warms or if the AMOC shuts down.

      It also might not necessarily be the best position to be in during the coming decades. If you think migration is a challenge today, well, we haven’t seen anything yet. And while we’re “lucky” in a geopolitical sense that we don’t have significant quantities of any particularly valuable natural resources in today’s market that might make us an attractive target, once a mild climate with fresh water and arable land becomes more valuable than petroleum and rare earth minerals, well, there are going to be a lot of hungry and thirsty eyes looking in our direction…

      It’s perfect. We do not get bullshit weather.

      Summers range from warm to hot but not dangerous 35+ degrees scalding.

      Winters range from mild to cold but not stupid -10 degrees arctic nonsense.

      Everything in between is a bit mild, wet and easily manageable.

    14. Illustrious-Soup419 on

      Absolutely. I love the irish weather. Hate travelling in summer and don’t know why people do it.

    15. FracturedButWhole18 on

      I think Dublin won the climate lottery. Doesn’t rain very much really and we rarely get the temperature extremes and usually dodge the brunt of the storms.

    16. pockets3d on

      Problem with Ireland is the short days in the winter. The weather’s fine .

    17. Kharanet on

      Why is it then that giving out about the weather is the national sport in Ireland? 😂

    18. DarrenMacNally on

      No, the weather is trash. There’s basically no seasons.

    19. ampr1150gs on

      Just wait until the Gulf Stream collapses, which in reality could be a lot sooner than we think…

    20. SoftDrinkReddit on

      i know we love moan about the rain and the mostly shite weather we have in the summer but in the grand scheme of things unironically we have the best climate on the planet because of how sheltered we are from really dangerous weather stuff we don’t have any really dangerous natural disasters that kill tons of people and cause a shit of damage

      hot wise we have never even reached 34C and our hottest day record was set 138 years ago for reference only 3 places has a lower record hottest day * 33.3 C and that’s Iceland Greeland Antartica

      Cold wise its incredibly rare to dip below -5 C

      we get enough rain for crops

      overall we are really really blessed to have this climate and in the future there will be A LOT of European Climate Migration to Ireland

    21. Bane_of_Balor on

      If you consider that we’re at the same lattitude as Newfoundland, then kinda, yeah.

    22. barker505 on

      Historically no, it was difficult for us to grow most staple crops here (except in the southwest), which meant ireland remained semi pastoral for a lot longer than the rest of Europe. Probably held back our development and prevented state formation until the English came in for easy pickings.

      This is one of the reasons the potato was so popular btw- it grows in wet conditions so allowed Irish agriculture to boom.

    23. Ah, for dairy farming maybe. For human flourishing, not so much.

      I remember showing this map in a presentation and no one noticed the dark green bits.

      Someone said afterwards they thought there was dust on the screen

      If you’re referring to climate change there will be no winners at all 🙄
