According to allcitycodes, Ireland has a temperate oceanic climate with warm summers and mild winters. The average temperature in Ireland ranges between 5°C (41°F) and 20°C (68°F), with the highest recorded temperature being 33.3°C (92°F) at Shannon Airport in August 1995. The lowest recorded temperature was -19.1°C (-2.4°F) at Markree Castle, County Sligo in January 1881. Rainfall is generally high across Ireland with most areas receiving between 800mm and 1,200mm per year. Areas such as the west coast can receive up to 2,000mm of rain annually while other areas such as the east coast may receive as little as 600mm. Snowfall is more common in higher elevations such as the Wicklow Mountains, which can receive up to 1m of snow each winter. Ireland is prone to extreme weather events such as floods, strong winds, thunderstorms, hail storms, heat waves, cold waves, and snowstorms. These events can cause significant disruption to daily life as well as damage property and infrastructure. Severe storms are also common due to Ireland’s location on the edge of Europe’s storm track so it is important for people to be prepared for these types of events when they occur.
