Dublin Weather

Irish weather is often called “unsettled,” but the island enjoys fairly constant temperatures. Most days throughout the year are greeted with thick fog and clouds, but it usually clears by noon.

A cold, winter’s day in Dublin will usually never drop below 35 degrees Fahrenheit, and the country hardly ever sees snow. In the spring, expect temperatures in the low to mid 50s, and for the summer months, temperatures can climb to the high 60s. July and August tend to be the warmest months and the peak time for swimming, but May and June are the sunniest with the days of late June and July lasting until after 10PM before the sun fully sets.

The off-season runs from mid-November to mid-March. Although you may find cheaper travel and amenities, seasonal hotels, restaurants and minor attractions close during this period.

Most rain clouds pass quickly, but bring a light raincoat and a hat and/or umbrella so you can be comfortable when exploring the streets of Dublin.
