Ireland's climate is mainly influenced by the Atlantic. It has a damp, but mild winter, relative to other countries. It does not get the extremes of heat or cold that other countries get. This is also due to the gulf stream, which brings warmer waters around the coast of Ireland, particularly the south and southwest. Most cold winter weather comes from the north or east, from continental Europe. Winds predominantly come from the west or southwest. Compared to other countries, Ireland does not have many very high mountains, and much of the centre of the country is quite flat. Snow would be more common in mountainous areas, but not very common, or sufficient to make winter sports very viable in Ireland.
