The information we present on this page is related to temperature information based on data from Met Éireann.

Met Éireann has a network of weather stations across the country that gather weather data. These stations provide data in monthly, daily and/or hourly intervals. These stations gather data on several variables, including rainfall, sunshine duration, temperature and wind.

The CSO presents data from 12 of these weather stations:

  • Belmullet, Casement, Claremorris, Cork Airport, Dublin Airport, Malin Head, Markree, Mullingar, Phoenix Park, Roches Point, Shannon Airport, Valentia Observatory.

All the currently available climate related tables are accessible on the CSO Open Data Platform

MTM06 – Monthly Temperature Data 

MTD06 – Daily Temperature Data 

MTH06 – Hourly Temperature Data 

You can read more about weather stations and other variables on the Met Éireann website.

Mean Air Temperature

The area of the circles corresponds to the relative mean air temperature between weather stations.

Monthly Temperature Data

This section presents the monthly data for temperature in degrees Celsius. A number of monthly variables are presented for the temperature; maximum and minimum mean temperature, mean temperature, maximum and minimum air temperature, and grass minimum temperature.

The table presents the mean air temperature for all twelve weather station for the most recent four months available in the data table. The plot displays the maximum, minimum and mean air temperature readings from Cork Airport weather station for the most recent twelve months in the data table.

Data for more months, more weather stations and more variables is available in the monthly Temperature data table MTM06.

Daily Temperature Data

This section presents the daily data for temperature in degrees Celsius. A number of monthly variables are presented for the temperature; maximum and minimum air temperature, and grass minimum temperature.

The table presents the three variables for Malin Head weather station for the most recent 10 days available in the data table. The chart shows the same three variables for the Malin Head weather station for the most recent 30 days available in the data table.

Data for more dates and more weather stations is available in the daily Temperature data table MTD06.

Hourly Temperature Data

This section presents the hourly data for temperature in degrees Celsius. The only variable in the hourly data table is air temperature.

The table presents the air temperature for the most recent 24 hour period available in the data table for Malin Head, Dublin Airport, Shannon Airport and Cork Airport. The plot displays the air temperature for the same four weather stations for the same time period.

Data for more dates and more weather stations is available in the hourly Temperature data table MTH06.
