Climate
Northern Ireland has a temperate maritime climate. It’s wetter in the west than in the east of the country,
although cloud cover is persistent across the region. Most of the land of Northern Ireland is covered in
rich green grass, which is a result of damp climate and extensive deforestation in the 16th and 17th
centuries.
