This guide builds a light layer-swap system, covers footwear trade-offs for wet pavements and coastal paths, and shows a compact week-long capsule you can reuse instead of over-packing.

Dublin in November is a layering problem more than a temperature problem. Damp cold, wind and passing showers mean your outfit has to move from a wet city walk to a warm pub without a full change.

October in Galway brings cool, wet, and windy Atlantic weather with shorter daylight, so waterproofing and layering matter more than warm-weather clothing.
