Are there specific regions in Ireland known for great weather?
Ireland's weather is famously unpredictable. However, the south-west, particularly areas like Cork and Kerry, tend to experience slightly milder temperatures and more sunshine than other regions, but this is not guaranteed. The west coast often experiences more rain.
