We were more relaxed about the weather than the apologetic locals. I think when you have guests in your country, wherever that may be, it's only natural to want people to see it in a good (sun)light.

Every local assured us that it was the rainiest May ever, but we still had an amazing time checking out the coast, the cliffs of Moher, etc. Beautiful country, it's a shame you had fog too. As for the Guinness, well, not everyone's perfect :) I was in County Galway at around the same time, and it rained for a week straight.

It's like this: E > R = D where E = expectation; R = reality; D = disappointment. So, where your expectations are low (e) and the weather is bad (D!) it equates to the reality of the situation such that you are left feeling mostly ambivalent: e = D! = :-| In other words it is possible to find good in any climatic eventuality via the judicious use of rationalization. I'm sure you'll have an Irish experience, be it wet, dry, or undecided. Our planning attitude with respect to the weather on this trip was "plan for the worst; hope for the best". It's like this:

Or, on the other hand, maybe all the rain was when you were there - when we go there (the 16th of June) there gonna be awesome weather. I'm sure. I just wished that I didn't have that bad weather curse on me.... Oh, nooo, don't tell me that!
