Is Galway worth it this weekend?
Galway, Connacht
Weekend air in Galway sits near 66°F / 57°F, plus only light rain on the books (~0.23 in) — enough to decide whether the trip is on.
Use the outlook as the itinerary filter: plan the outdoor pieces when 66°F feels right, and keep a café backup if clouds show up.
If the numbers still look good by Friday, lock the plan around 66°F — not a vague “nice weather somewhere.”
