Weather in Dublin

Best time to visit

These days, Dublin is a year round tourist destination. The most pleasant time to visit is in summer when the mercury lifts up to t-shirt wearing levels, a flurry of pavement cafés embrace the weather and locals sunbathe en masse in St. Stephen’s Green. This is the best time too for cultural and music performances. Spring and autumn appeal as tourist numbers dip. Winter can be dark, cold and wet, but the main attractions tend to be much quieter and there are more opportunities to enjoy the ‘craic’ in the pubs as locals hide away from the elements at bars.
