The warmest recorded temperatures in Ireland for both July and August happened last year

December was an exception. Many weather stations had their coldest December since 2010, a year that experienced a prolonged, extreme cold spell around Christmas time.

The minus 8.8 degrees recorded at Mount Dillon on Friday, December 16th was also the lowest minimum recorded in Ireland since 2010. By contrast the highest temperature of the month, a relatively balmy 15 degrees, was recorded at the Phoenix Park just three days later. Very cold arctic air masses dominated early December, with high pressure to the north and the Jetstream displaced well to the south of Ireland, leading to drier than average conditions. The situation changed dramatically on the 18th when warmer air came up from the south and the rest of the month was relatively mild.
