08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
November is dark and wet, with daylight under nine hours, afternoons around 10 °C and the Christmas lights switched on along Grafton Street and Henry Street in mid-November. Rugby internationals at the Aviva bring weekend crowds. It is one of the cheapest months, ideal for pubs, museums and the Christmas markets opening late in the month. Rain falls on about eleven days.
The Dublin Book Festival and the Dublin Jazz Festival fill the first half. The Guinness Storehouse is easy to book. The Christmas market at the Docklands and the Gaiety Theatre pantomime open in the last week. Frost arrives on a few mornings. For Grafton Street at Christmas, the 12 Pubs crowds and the New Year's Festival, see December.
