Having ridden my motorcycle here through my first autumn-winter every day (almost), I think I can provide an outsider’s perspective to the question, “what’s the weather like in Ireland for biking?” If you want the TLDR version, it is bloody challenging.

When I started considering returning to motorcycling in Ireland, one of the factors I needed to consider was the weather. You can read what I think new motorcyclists in Ireland shouldn’t do. As a cyclist and a pedestrian, I have experienced it for over a year and was well prepared for what to expect. Ireland is well known for its unpredictable weather, with rain, wind, and misty conditions expected throughout the year.
