The snowy season in Iceland is between October 19 and May 6. Snowfall in winter is more common in the north than the south. The average annual snowfall in the glacier regions of central and northern Iceland is 180-inches per year. Closer to the coast, less than 80-inches of snow fall annually.

Is it going to snow this winter in Cork?

Snow in December is uncommon in Ireland although last year we got up to 15 inches of it in some parts. It snows just about every year in January and February, on many occasions being very heavy on the East coast. But the West Coast on the Atlantic is exposed to the Gulf stream which means it gets little snow.


Has Ireland ever had a blizzard?

Yes, Ireland has experienced blizzards in the past. Blizzards are rare but have been recorded during severe winter weather events that bring heavy snow and strong winds, particularly in the northern and western parts of the country.


Why does it not snow often in Ireland?

Ireland's climate is mainly influenced by the Atlantic. It has a damp, but mild winter, relative to other countries. It does not get the extremes of heat or cold that other countries get. This is also due to the gulf stream, which brings warmer waters around the coast of Ireland, particularly the south and southwest. Most cold winter weather comes from the north or east, from continental Europe. Winds predominantly come from the west or southwest. Compared to other countries, Ireland does not have many very high mountains, and much of the centre of the country is quite flat. Snow would be more common in mountainous areas, but not very common, or sufficient to make winter sports very viable in Ireland.
