Weather in Ireland

Ireland is famous for its unpredictable and wet weather. It can be hot one day and cold the next, wet one hour and sunny the next. This is because Ireland is situated right beneath a convergence zone where cold air from the pole, warm dry air from Asia and the wet air from the Gulf Stream meet. When they meet, they produce low pressure systems, called Depressions which are characterised by lines of wet weather followed by periods of hot or cold clear, dry weather. The point at which the meeting point happens to be on any day determines what kind of weather Ireland gets.
