Ireland experiences a western maritime climate, mainly influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, which is never farther than about 70 miles (113 kilometers) from any location on the island. The warm waters of the North Atlantic Current and prevailing southwesterly winds play a key role in keeping the climate mild and relatively stable. Temperatures across the island are fairly uniform throughout the year. In the coldest months, January and February, average temperatures typically range between 39 and 45 °F (4 to 7 °C). During the warmest months, July and August, temperatures usually stay between 57 and 61 °F (14 to 16 °C), though hotter days do occasionally occur.
May and June tend to be the sunniest months, with much of the country enjoying an average of 5.5 to 6.5 hours of sunshine per day. During this time, the country’s characteristic landscape—a mix of ancient fields and rural settlements—appears especially vibrant under the clear, bright skies.
Rainfall levels vary depending on the region. Eastern areas receive about 30 inches (760 mm) of rain annually, while parts of the west, which face the incoming Atlantic weather systems, can receive more than 100 inches (2,533 mm). This consistent precipitation, coupled with the temperate climate, supports the growth of rich grasslands that are vital for Ireland’s large livestock farming sector.
Snowfall is relatively rare across most of the country, occurring more often in mountainous regions. Extended or heavy snowstorms are unusual.
Weather is really beautiful, I wish to be there 😿
