County Clare in northwestern Munster features a wide Atlantic Ocean exit which gives it some picturesque and imposing natural landmarks like Cliffs of Moher, for instance. It also gives it plenty of rainfall. In fact, figures are pretty much the same as in County Limerick with precipitation of 978 mm (38.5 in) and average daily annual temperatures of 10.7 °C (51.3 °F). Average housing prices are slightly lower though and amount to €149,999 ($169,694). Towns of Ennis and Shannon are among largest settlements in County Clare.
