In Ireland, the coldest months of the year are January and February. During this period, average air temperatures across the island typically range between 39 and 45 Ā°F (4 and 7 Ā°C).12
This moderate climate is largely due to the influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the North Atlantic Current, which help prevent extreme cold. While conditions can be changeable, severe snowstorms are rare throughout the country.13
