Belfast’s climate

Northern Ireland, United Kingdom · 54.60°N, 5.93°W · Europe/London

Belfast's cool, maritime climate keeps temperatures in a narrow band all year. Highs average about 8°C in January and 20°C in July, with lows of 2°C and 12°C. Summers are cool, and heat above 25°C is rare.

Sheltered by hills to the north and west, and moderated by Belfast Lough, the city sees few hard frosts, and snow is brief and fairly infrequent.

Switch between daily, weekly, monthly and yearly views to compare a single date, a rolling week or month, or a full year. Dates are resolved in Belfast's own timezone (Europe/London), not yours.
