We have lived many places and sailed many others and just about everywhere we go, the locals claim they have the strangest weather. The typical saying is "You now what they say in (fill in location)...if you don't like the weather, wait ten minutes and it will change". A typical response is subtle laugh and remembering they said that in the last place we visited.
However, Ireland can claim that as their own and there is no humor in it and you can believe they may have even originated the saying. On any given day, it can start as dry and sunny and 18 degrees (58 F) but within 20 minutes, it will be a downpour and the temp will have dropped to 11 degrees (50 F) and the wind blowing 20 kts. You can hardly believe it is the same day as it started out to be. Within 20 minutes, there will be a rainbow and the sun is shining again.
It is never a good idea to 1) Leave hatches on the boat open - like ever 2) Leave the boat without a coat that has a hood and is waterproof 3) Leave the boat without something that can be taken off when it gets too hot 4) Not own a dehumidifier (humidity is 85%) 4) Never - again, ever- wear slippery flip flops.
