Ireland Weather Forecast: Sunshine Slams Down But Coasts Stay Cool – 7 May 2025
Dry. Bright. But deceptively chilly in coastal spots. Ireland’s midweek weather brings the sun, but don’t be fooled—it’s a temperature trap.
Today is set to be a deceptively beautiful day across Ireland. The skies will stay largely clear with long spells of sunshine, interrupted only by scattered fair-weather cloud. Top temperatures will hover between 16 and 20 degrees, but don’t be misled—coastal regions will feel noticeably cooler due to a light northerly or variable breeze. Those in inland areas will enjoy the warmest conditions, particularly in the midlands and the west.
It’s the kind of weather that looks like summer but feels like early spring if you’re anywhere near the sea.
