Poll: Is the bad Irish weather making you consider a summer holiday abroad?

Met Éireann has warned that warmer weather is still some time off, so a staycation could be a chilly prospect.

ALL OF THIS wet, cold and windy weather in the month of May has got us thinking about the sun and what it might be like.

According to Met Éireann, heavy rain and wind will continue in areas for some time – and it warns that warmer weather is still some time off.

Some people can’t afford holidays abroad at the moment and have decided on a ‘staycation’, others have left the Child of Prague in the garden and are holding out hope that the weather will change.

While some have simply had enough and are going abroad where they are guaranteed some sunshine.

So, today we want to know: Is the bad Irish weather making you consider a summer holiday abroad?


Poll Results:

No, I can't afford a holiday abroad (1821)
Yes, I need some sun (944)
No, I hope the weather will change (818)
I am going abroad regardless (748)
