Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.
Weather read at the town, between the lakes: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.
A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

What Enniskillen is like
Enniskillen (Inis Ceithleann, "Ceithlenn's island") is the county town of County Fermanagh at the western edge of Northern Ireland. The town grew up on an island in the River Erne, which connects Upper and Lower Lough Erne and is navigable; boating and angling are major pastimes here. More on Wikivoyage
- Worth seeing
- Enniskillen Castle, Wellington Rd BT74 7HL. There's been a castle here astride the Sligo road since the 14th century, and the picturesque watergate is from 1609… More on Wikivoyage
- Worth doing
- Listen to Q Radio on 101.2 / 102.1 FM or read Fermanagh Herald or Impartial Reporter. Gaelic games: Fermanagh GAA play football and hurling at Brewster Park, capacity 18,000, half a mile north of town centre. More on Wikivoyage
- Getting in
- By road from Belfast take M1 onto A4, maybe 1 hour 40 min. By road from Dublin take M3 / N3 through Cavan, becoming A509 at the border, and reckon just over two hours. More on Wikivoyage
- Staying safe
- Beware traffic, safeguard valuables and steer clear of damn-fool drunks, same as anywhere else. The river currents are strong and the water is cold. More on Wikivoyage
