Weather for Dublin

Best time to visit:

Dublin these days 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 cafes embrace the weather and the 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 a dark, cold and wet time to come, but conversely the main attractions tend to be much quieter and you have more opportunities to enjoy the ‘craic’ in the pubs as locals hide away from the elements at bars with fewer visitors in them.
