Met Éireann reports that Spring 2026 is the third-warmest on record in Ireland since 1900. The climate statement says the last three months rank among the warmest recorded, with seven of the ten warmest spring seasons occurring during the current century. The reports also provide details on rainfall patterns during the period. They cite the highest daily rainfall for 2026 as occurring in Belmullet, County Mayo, indicating that while temperatures were notably high compared with historical records, precipitation extremes are also being monitored across the country. The assessments are based on data compiled in Met Éireann’s seasonal climate reporting. Overall, both outlets reflect the same conclusion: Spring 2026 is among Ireland’s warmest seasons since systematic records began, and Met Éireann is documenting both temperature rankings and notable rainfall figures for the year. The statements do not attribute causes, focusing instead on the recorded climate metrics.
