The warmest months, July and August, get about 18 hours of daylight and it gets dark only after 11pm. Hence the well-worn phrase in Ireland; "sure there's a grand stretch in the evenings".

And so in Ireland spring traditionally begins not in March, but on the 1st of February with Lá Feabhra (February Day), also known as St. Brigid's Day; summer begins with Lá Bealtaine (May Day); autumn begins on the 1st of August with Lá Lúnasa; while winter arrives in November with Lá Samhna (November Day).Feb 6, 2011

Seasons
The change from winter to spring or from summer to autumn is gradual and the general trend is subject to reversals which may last for a week or more. For Climatological purposes, on the basis of air temperature, seasons are regarded as three - month periods as follows: December to February - winter,
March to May - spring, June to August - summer and September to November - autumn. This is a common grouping in the meteorological practice of many countries in the middle and northern latitudes.
