2025 was the second warmest year on record in Ireland, according to Met
Éireann’s Annual Climate Statement for 2025.
It says the past four years have been the warmest since records began in

The average air temperature last year was just over 11 degrees Celsius,

“rain days”, while many of the highest winds and gusts were recorded
across the West and West Coast.
