Cork is located in the province of Munster in the Republic of Ireland's south-west corner. The city centre is an island positioned between two River Lee channels that converge downstream at the city's eastern end, leading to Lough Mahon and Cork Harbour, one of the world's largest natural harbours. The name "the rebel city" comes from the city's support for the Yorkist cause during the Wars of the Roses. Corkonians call the city "the real capital" because of its opposition to the Anglo-Irish Treaty during the Irish Civil War. Cork's climate, like that of the rest of Ireland, is mildly oceanic and varied, with plenty of rain and few temperature extremes. Ireland's climate is temperate, which means it's never too hot or too cold. The Atlantic Ocean to the west has the greatest influence on the country's weather; it is often harsh but more often forgiving, preventing any extremes in Ireland's temperatures. Weather dominates conversations in Cork, and because of its changeable nature, you'll often hear people refer to 'four seasons in one day.'Cork enjoys ample of sunshine in the summer, with average highs of 24°C. As with anywhere in Ireland, you should expect rainy days with an average of 73 days of “heavy rain” per year. Also Cork is known as Ireland's food capital for a reason: the variety of products available is incredible, ranging from outstanding artisan cheese to exquisitely produced smoked seafoods. It's jam-packed with superb restaurants, hip pubs, and the buzzing English Market, which takes you on a culinary tour of the county's best fare.
