One chilly day in Mullingar during fourth warmest June on record, say Met Éireann

Mullingar was - believe it or not - among the coldest spots in Ireland this June, recording a joint monthly low of 3.5 °C on Sunday June 8, a surprising figure in what turned out to be the fourth warmest June on record for the country overall

It shared the record with Mount Dillon in Roscommon, according to the monthly climate statement from Met Éireann.

Despite a cool start, June 2025 defied early expectations, closing out with above-average warmth, high humidity, and increased rainfall in many areas.

Mount Dillon took the spotlight for heat, hitting 29.6 °C on Friday June 20, the year’s highest temperature till that date.

The national mean temperature reached 15.1 °C, making it Ireland’s fourth hottest June since records began in 1900. All stations recorded temperatures above their 1991-2020 long-term average (LTA).

Rainfall was another key feature of the month. Most of the country recorded wetter-than-average conditions, with 117% of typical June rainfall falling nationally, making this the 24th wettest June since 1941.

Athenry, County Galway, experienced its wettest June since 2012 with 165mm of rain, more than double its normal amount.

The wettest day occurred on Saturday June 14, when 42.6 mm fell at Casement Aerodrome, County Dublin.

Met Éireann says June 2025 adds to a growing pattern of warmer than normal months in Ireland.

Notably, five of the 10 warmest Junes on record have occurred since 2006: 2023, 2018, 2025, 2010, and 2006.
