1st Time to Ireland - what to wear?
Going to Ireland late September and would like to know if capris will be warm enough or should I just bring long pants and no capris. Never been to Ireland so that is my question.

I don't even really wear capris much at home in late September (Wash DC) and it's a lot warmer here than Ireland. I never even took anything like that with me when I went to Ireland in August and wasn't sorry.

Weather in Ireland is rarely predictably, and capri pants almost always not a good idea, even in Summer. This is a weather warning, not a fashion warning.
In London right now, it was effing chilly today, and colder in Ireland. I was in an hotel in Marlow, and saw a flock of Canada Geese heading off. That is never a good sign.
There is an old joke: Question: What clothes should I pack for Ireland? Answer: ALL of them.
Everyone is praying for an Indian Summer, but I am not convinced - false hope, as it was another shite summer.
You could experience all four seasons in one day, so definitely bring long pants and layers of clothing. Bring rain-wear. You are unlikely to wear shorts or capris, unless we have the second coming
I am heading off to Italy tomorrow, and temperatures in Padua are around 19 degrees and in Dublin about 15 degrees. Not capri weather.

Be sure to spend lots of time in Dublin. It is a fantastic city. Would recommend you stay in a hotel somewhere around Grafton Street and St.Stephens Green park. Close to Dublin by train is the beautiful small seaside resort town of Bray with the great beach and cliff side walks.

I have a totally screwed up view of Ireland. We went for the first time this July and had the warmest weather of the year while we were there ... 70-80F peak temps with 1 day of rain out of 9. I didn't pack enough short or swimsuits, So I say shorts and sandals!

paulg, I get it but agree it's sometimes difficult to tell if a poster is jesting or not. There are some posters here who have no sense of humor and/or assume their one time experience is the rule. With climate change, it's becoming more difficult to predict weather. Soon we may even find it impossible.
