While Europe suffocates under the summer heatwave, countries like Ireland are delighting tourists who come to enjoy its ocean temperatures. With temperatures under 25°C, the country is a prime destination for cool, green weather. A breath of fresh air for those allergic to the heat!
If you can’t stand the ambient 40°C, and want to get away from the Mediterranean beaches, then Ireland is the ideal destination! Increasingly popular with Europeans in summer, the Emerald Isle attracts visitors not only for the beauty of its green plains, stone fields, ruined castles, megaliths and heavenly beaches… but also for its climate!
Once derided for its reasonable temperatures, Ireland is now the envy of Europeans. Worn out by the scorching heat of the rest of Europe, they are looking for warmer climes.
And in this respect, Ireland ticks all the boxes! With daily temperatures ranging from 20 to 25°C maximum, plenty of sunshine and a few occasional showers, the country offers a well-balanced climate that will make for an unforgettable vacation!
Add to that lush, rejuvenating landscapes, exceptional beaches and an unrivalled cultural heritage (in terms of food, music and history), and you’ll find Ireland to be a delightful destination for summer vacations in every respect!
And the figures don’t lie: since the start of the summer season, the number of tourists to Ireland has soared compared to 2022. Among those questioned, many travelers came to Ireland not only for its unspoilt environment, human-sized towns and wide open spaces… but also to avoid mass tourism and excessive heat.
For many people, crowding onto crowded beaches to sunbathe and expose themselves to the risk of sunstroke is now out of the question. Goodbye France, Spain, Greece and Italy! Regions such as Connemara, County Kerry and the Wicklow Mountains National Park now seem much more attractive to heat-allergy sufferers! The same goes for Irish cities: Dublin, Galway, Cork and Belfast attract tourists in droves, who come to enjoy the effervescence and friendliness of the local population… all without having to abuse the sunblock all day long!
For those who shun over-tourism and the sweltering sun, Ireland seems to be one of Europe’s most pleasant destinations!
