Weather in January
The new year begins with cooler sea temperatures in
Carrigaline as the water drops to its lowest average of 9.4°C (48.9°F). The bitingly cold Irish Sea discourages most from partaking in water activities during this month. Despite the low temperature, abundant daylight fills the city, a sign of the longer days to come. Compared to the winter holidays of
December,
January is significantly less festive but still holds a stark beauty in its chilly facade. Looking forward to
February, one can expect a similar climate but with slightly longer days.
