The best and worst
times to visit

Insights you need to know

Best times

Best: May to June

The temperature is a wee bit on the chilly side, but you avoid the crushing tourist crowds of mid summer. And Dublin bursts with colorful flowers

Second best: July and August

It boasts a comfortable temperature (around 20°C or 65° F) - the year's highest. On the negative side, tourists swarm and prices soar.

Third best: September

Tourist crowds have lessened and the crisp early fall air is invigorating. However, daylight sightseeing hours are short.

Least desirable times

November to March

Chances are you will experience cold temperatures, chilly rain, and cloudy skies.

About the rain

The total annual rain is less than the amount that falls in most other popular European tourism cities. However, when it rains in Dublin, it usually comes down as a steady drizzle or an unaggressive shower rather than a hefty downpour.
