Travel råd og advarsler Irland
| Climate |
The climate of Ireland can be summed up as being mild, moist and changeable with abundant rainfall and a lack of temperature extremes. It is defined as a temperate oceanic climate, or Cfb on the Köppen climate classification system, a classification it shares with most of northwest Europe. The country receives generally warm summers and mild winters, and is considerably warmer than other areas on its latitude. This is due to the fact it lies in the Atlantic Ocean, and as a result is warmed by the Gulf Stream all year. Met Éireann is the meteorological service of the Republic of Ireland, and the Met Office is that of Northern Ireland. |

| Costs |
When it comes to the cost of living in the Republic of Ireland it’s very fair to say that there’s good news and there’s bad news – what’s more, the cost of living also depends on where you live with UBS recently ranking Dublin the 8th most expensive city in the world in which to live whilst lesser known villages on the coast can be among some of the cheapest places to live in Europe. |
| Traditons |
Ireland is a country full of amazing culture and heritage. This Island country in the north Atlantic is known for its free-spirited and friendly natives, its beautiful green landscapes and its art and music. Ireland's history spans thousands of years, but many of Ireland's great traditions from the past are present today.
2 One of Ireland's earliest traditions is the art of storytelling. Thousands of years ago, Irish storytellers told great tales of heroes, fairies, and the gods. In fact, the oldest epic poem of Europe is an Irish story. About 400 AD, when writing was introduced to Ireland, many of the stories were recorded and new ones were created.
3 Some Irish musicians put these stories to music. Ireland's musical tradition dates back as far as those early storytellers. The music of Ireland helped to shape much of Western music as it exists today. Traditional Irish music usually features strong and clear singing over upbeat and cheerful music. Irish musicians play a number of stringed instruments, many of which can be found in today's bluegrass and country music bands. |
