Best Time to Visit

Influenced by the Gulf Stream, Ireland has a mild temperate climate with summer temperatures generally ranging from 14 to 16 degrees Celsius (60-70 Fahrenheit). Summer is the warmest and busiest time to visit Cork. The temperatures are generally around 10 degrees Celsius (50 degree Fahrenheit) in Spring and Autumn, which are probably the best seasons to find good rates and still enjoy some time outdoors. Winter temperatures are between 4 and 7 degrees Celsius (30-40 degrees Fahrenheit) and the city is much quieter, but still charming.
