What to Pack for Ireland in SummerPin

Weather Overview 🌡️

June in Ireland is the start of summer—but expect a little bit of everything.

  • Daytime temps: 55–68°F (13–20°C)
  • Evenings: Cooler, around 45–55°F (7–13°C)
  • Frequent drizzle, occasional sun, and wind along coasts
    Daylight lasts from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM—pack for layers and spontaneity.

What to Pack for Ireland in June 🎒

Ireland is all about layering, practicality, and quiet style. You’ll want clothes that can handle a breeze, a light rain, and a cozy pub seat—all in one day.

  • Daytime: Light sweaters, waterproof jackets, comfy pants.
  • Evening: Smart casual—blouses, jeans, or a polished jacket.
  • Outdoor adventures: Waterproof boots or sneakers, and always a hood.
  • Cultural tip: There’s no strict dress code, but locals favor subtle and tidy. Avoid touristy “I ♥ Ireland” attire if you want to blend in.
