Ireland’s Proof Towards Climate Friendly Behavior

Fascinating things happen in very simple situations and we might have found that this is true for most of the cases in the real life. We might have heard about the third law of Sir Isaac Newton that whenever an action is preformed, the equation gets balanced with the help of an equal and opposite reaction. This applies to the climatic conditions too. Whenever there is a build up of tremendous, the climatic conditions change to give either cloudy or rainy days or bring in soothing cold winds from other parts nearby to counter the heat. Likewise, humidity changes its percentage whenever needed and so does the pressure in a place or region.

In Ireland, we find a total different equation which is most simple and fascinating. The Gulf Stream water which gets linked with the land brings in winds bearing cooling properties and thereby serves the land well. The climate in Ireland is always soothing and breezy in nature; so the people in Ireland always feel relaxed and restful.

The climatic conditions in the United Kingdom and the lands of Ireland are the same in most of the cases. The most interesting feature of Ireland is that the temperature readings in the summer are so low that we will be confused about the season if we live in Ireland. Cool winds from the Gulf make this possible and facilitate a maximum temperature reading of a mere nineteen degree Celsius which is almost half of the maximum temperature level found in countries like Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka and Africa. Ireland is very lucky to have such properties in their climatic conditions and knowing this, the Irish people work towards maintaining this pleasant temperature and weather conditions during all the seasons.

Weather stations in this area records only a normal range of sunshine with the help of Campbell-Stokes sunshine recorder and it is very unusual to have very bright and hot days here. A maximum of seven hours per day is average range of sunshine here throughout the summer season and a minimum of two hours in the winter. Snowflakes and Hail contribute to the precipitation in a much lower rate and the rainfall averages a value of seven hundred and fifty millimeters to a thousand millimeters generally. Regions with mountainous stretches of Ireland will see around two thousand millimeters of rainfall on the average a year.

A low southerly wind rate in Dublin is due to the sheltering effect given by the mountains of the southern part of the region. An annual average wind velocity of about seven miles per hour is recorded per year in the south Leinster whereas an average of eighteen mile per hour in the northern most parts of Ireland. Storms are very unlikely to be seen in the region as we have no record of such happening in the past, which is good enough for everyone. The climate of Ireland is quite friendly to everyone and the continued soothing effect will prevail only if we respect nature and her values.
