Bands of steadier rain move through at times, and colder snaps can bring sleet or snow on higher sections. It feels damp and raw rather than severe, with a persistent chill and nights that often hover near freezing.

Leaving Dublin’s edge into the first hills, the month often starts grey, with long overcast spells and light drizzle, broken by brief dry windows. Showery rain passes now and then, and a colder push can turn the damp into sleet or a short burst of snow on the higher slopes. Temperatures sit mostly in the single digits Celsius by day, with nights near freezing, so the air feels crisp and damp.
Climbing toward the higher ground around Roundwood, the weather stays unsettled: low cloud hangs on the ridges, with drizzle that thickens into light to moderate rain at times. When colder air mixes in, wintry showers are possible across exposed sections before skies lift for a few brighter intervals. Calmer, dry stretches do occur between passing bands, but the ground often remains damp.
Through the lakes at Glendalough and over to Glenmalure, expect a shuffle of drizzle, overcast hours, and occasional steady rain. One or two days in the month can be notably wet along this section, while colder snaps still bring a chance of sleet or hill snow on the passes. Between systems, cloud thins for short spells with decent visibility.
Farther south past Moyne through Shillelagh and into the final farmland toward Clonegal, precipitation skews more toward light showers and drizzle than snow, though a brief wintry burst remains possible. Many days feel mostly cloudy, with occasional heavier pulses crossing quickly and longer drier gaps in between. By the final stretch the pattern is still changeable, but breaks in the cloud become a bit more frequent.
