Cost words compare a published regional accommodation level with Ireland's typical level, or describe a region's price season against its own year. The Cost score still uses Ireland's price level on the Europe scale; where regional money levels are unavailable, a cheaper season does not establish which region has the cheapest rooms.
Overall combines weather, crowds and cost. It is not a weather rating. By default, the list ranks weather first and shows Balanced Overall scores (50% weather, 30% crowds, 20% cost). Other priorities order it by your Overall mix. Missing cost is excluded and the available parts are reweighted.
Visitor season compares each region with its own year. A higher crowd score does not establish which place has fewer people in absolute terms. Regions cover whole statistical areas; open a guide for its geographic scope. Read the scoring method.
Weather across the country
Regional averages vary; check a forecast closer to your trip.
Ranges span available regional monthly averages, not daily extremes. A dash means a measurement is unavailable or withheld; individual guides explain the gaps.
Afternoons around 66°F (19°C): light layers; nights around 49°F (10°C): a sweater and a light jacket. Bring rain gear: about 11 days with at least 1 mm of rain.
| Region | Afternoon | Night | Rain days | Weather |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dublin & the east | 66°F | 49°F | 11 | good |
| The south of Ireland | 66°F | 49°F | 11 | fair |
| The west of Ireland | 65°F | 48°F | 14 | fair |
Before you go
The visitor season
June records 77% of August's overnight stays. 1 of 3 regions is in peak season against its own year. This measures overnight demand, not queues or day-trippers.
Hotel prices
+9% on Ireland's historical national hotel-price index, versus its usual month in 2024–2025. This describes a price season, not a live room quote.
The national index cannot tell you which region has the cheapest rooms.
Thinking about the coast?
Among beach-focused regions, the warmest measured seas this month are The south of Ireland (57°F), The west of Ireland (56°F), Dublin & the east (55°F). Sea temperature is one part of a beach trip; open a region for weather and seasonal closures.

Each row is a statistical region (NUTS 2); open it for the full month, the sources and what moving your dates would change. National lines are built from the regions: season is Ireland's total tourist nights this month against its busiest month (Eurostat, primarily 2024–2025; earlier published years where needed); weather counts regions whose displayed Weather score is at least 7.0/10 (very good or better) rather than averaging across the country; visitors ranks overnight visitors per resident against all Europe's regions (for a region) or the other countries (for Ireland) that month.
A regional accommodation level is shown only where publishable money data exists; elsewhere the cost words describe a regional season against its own year, and the score starts from the national price level. Separately, Ireland's 2024 restaurants-and-hotels level is above EU average (129 where the EU average is 100). Full method.
