What's the weather like where you are?

It's been sitting between 20 - 25 degrees with a light breeze here. Once every 3 or 4 years we seem to have the best weather in the world for a few days.

Heading to Tbilisi on Friday, looks like rain for the first two days and then 30 degrees. Start the holiday with some drinking I suppose

Oh, in Georgia it's always good in summer:) especially somewhere near the sea, in Batumi for example. Would also recommend to go to Abkhazia if you have additional time (Nowy Afon and Suhumi, it's a paradise there). Also, Dombay and Elbrus are absolutely amazing during summer and just near the border (but you'd need a visa to go there I guess)

Thank you, we did consider Batumi but are limited in time unfortunately. If I enjoy it, which I absolutely expect to, I will definitely be back though, it's a very affordable place to travel from Ireland.

Really? I'm surprised as it's pretty far from Ireland. We used to go to Abkhazia near there with my family but it was from Caucasus side and many years ago,not sure it's that cheap now (and really advise you to visit Abkhazia,as far as I know you don't need a visa before visit, maybe only a stamp on the border)
By the way,what is the best time to go to Ireland for a sight trip? We were planning to visit Ireland but I wasn't sure about the weather (and now curious after your description of a comfortable summer there). Every year I want to go there on St Patrick's day but maybe there's better time?

Yeah, the flights are definitely the most expensive aspect but accommodation, food and tours all look / are very affordable, fractions of the cost of Ireland.

To be honest, you can never guarantee the weather in Ireland, it can be wet every day of the year but it's generally mild all year round, certainly by European standards. Our winters are wet but it's unlikely to ever go below freezing.

St. Patrick's day is a good time to visit although accommodation will be expensive and it's usually around 10 degrees. It generally ranges from about 17 - 23 in the summer (June - August) but can get cooler if it's wet.

Honestly, any time from March to September - October is very doable. If you want the best chance to avoid too much rain and maybe get some sunshine I'd choose June - August.
 
@Leonormous Boozer thank you very much! Started to think more of September/October as this summer is already full of plans (and flight prices are much better in Autumn). Do you maybe know whether someone who has EU resident card needs a visa to visit Ireland? We have two people who don't have EU passports (only residenship) and when we travel inside of EU it's ok with resident cards but not sure about Ireland (in the UK you must make a visa in such a case). Also, I have EU citizenship,so I guess I don't need a visa to go to Ireland? 🤔

You get about more than @dirty harry who has been to every country on the planet, twice.

I'm not sure about residents only but if they have travel rights without a visa to the rest of the EU it will be the same in Ireland (although we're not in Schengen so a passport is required for all).

EU citizens only need a passport, no visa.

Jesus, I would say that, there are still a number of south American and central African countries i havnt been to, about few Asian too lol

Avoid avoid avoid! Well that's not fair, avoid Dublin on St Patrick's day, hundreds of thousands, the parade makes everyone squished, the American kids are plastered by 4pm...

I prefer south West, living in Clare was amazing, I loved it!
 
Just come back from a 19mile cycle ride. Pretty brutal out there. When it was like 17/19 degrees c a week ago and then shoots up to mid 30s that jump. That's what gets me.

I managed a 40k Sunday, and it was over cast and cooler, was bad enough. It's also hell in the cool, cold, dry, rain, snow... pretty much any climate really hahaha

Oh,they mention Liguria where I'm now haha)) it's more or less ok here. Noone mentioned Slovenia in news,but it was way more worse there tbh...also it's getting more hot in Warsaw (but not that terrible yet). Was talking to my friends from Moscow, it's fresh and rainy there (as it was in Warsaw during previous week) but also will be hot soon by prognosis

That's why I actually wanted to visit Dublin on St Patrick's day, because of parade :D

It is awful!!!! I spent a bit in Dublin, and Paddy's day was a massive excitement, until I experienced it. Similarly I'm dreading Oktoberfest this year!!!
