The weather and climate of Shannon

Shannon has a relatively mild climate year-round thanks to the moderating effects of the nearby Atlantic. During the winter, temperatures only go below freezing a few days during the year. There may, however, be some snow or hail in addition to the frequent rain, but these usually come in short bursts and melt away quickly. Over the course of the year, there is very little temperature fluctuation. Averages range from about 42°F (6°C) in the middle of winter to 60°F (16°C).

Sunshine in this part of the country, however, is rather rare, with the sunniest months being May and June. Even during these months, however, Ireland’s wet climate means that Shannon still sees a good deal of rain, on the order of 2.5 inches (63 mm) per month. This rises to nearly 4 inches (100 mm) during the winter to give an annual precipitation level of about 36 inches (92.5 cm).
