Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted September 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I like the months of May and September the best. Temperatures are very comfortable. Typically you will not need a jacket in the daytime unless it is raining. Bring a rain jacket and a few long and short sleeves to layer and you will be fine. Coming from Ireland you may find it very similar to your own weather. I looked to see the official average temps for Portland, Maine in May. [just as an example] It is a high of 67 [19C] and a low of 47 [8C]. However, May is a month of change. It can be cool at the beginning and hot at the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creaghadoos, I’ve just hiked down to Teelin from the heights of Slieve League and I must say that the weather here this week is not dissimilar to that of the coastal areas of Nova Scotia in May. Additionally, Donegal has the advantage of the warm Gulf Stream currents that Nova Scotia does not. If you dress as you would at home you will not go wrong. Sorry.
