Weather & Climate
Ireland has a somewhat unpredictable but relatively mild maritime climate.
Often called the "Land of Perpetual Spring," it is warmed by the passing Gulf
Stream. Summer temperatures normally range from the upper 50's - mid 70's during
the day with nighttime temperatures as low as 50° F (if it is unseasonably
cold). No part of the country is more than 65 miles from the ocean, and weather
systems move in and out very quickly, so rapid changes in temperature are
common. Locals say that Ireland is a place where you can experience four seasons
in one day! You need to be prepared for a range of temperatures, including cool
days and evenings and/or foggy, rainy periods. The wet and/or cool periods often
disappear as quickly as they arrive; appropriate rain gear is highly recommended
for your comfort. This does not necessarily involve an excess of clothing, just
carefully selected items. The following chart of average temperatures in
Killarney will help you to prepare for your tour.
Average Daily Temperature (High/Low)
| ° F | °C | |
|---|---|---|
| Jun | 72 / 51 | 22 / 11 |
| Jul | 74 / 54 | 23 / 12 |
| Aug | 75 / 55 | 24 / 13 |
| Sep | 72 / 52 | 22 / 11 |
Please Note: Summer months are warmest but can be crowded with
tourists. May and June are the sunniest months. September has fewer tourists and
is usually dry and sunny but with cooler temperatures. EXPECT RAIN at any time
of the year (It's what keeps Ireland green!). Don't leave home without rain
gear. *The above are average temperatures. Actual temperatures may vary
depending on developing weather patterns. Please consult a newspaper, the
Internet, or a local tourism office prior to your departure for current weather
information.
