Irish Weather: A Mystery
I have been in Dublin for a week now and as much as I thought I packed appropriately for this trip, each day here reminds me that I, in fact, did not.
A lot of preparation had to be done before my arrival, and one thing was making sure to do my research when it came to the weather and what to expect when visiting Dublin. For some reason, I didn't believe that it actually rained as much as they say it does, at least during the summer time. I found out the hard way that you, or even the weather app, really can not predict the weather here.
To make things even better (not), the rain is smart. It always seem to have the perfect timing. I watch my window at work and enjoy the clear skies for hours, but the second I decide it's time to go home, the gray clouds appear. Coming from Southern California, I didn't even own a raincoat to bring with me. Luckily, there are good deals for raincoats at the shops here in Ireland (shout out to Penneys).
I think after this week some key things I learned are:
- Bring a raincoat everywhere... seriously.
- If you don't think it's going to rain, it probably will.
- Even though it sucks walking in the rain, the views and sunsets are always worth it.
