More About Killarney
Overview
Nineteenth-century visitors founds the views around Killarney every bit as romantic and uplifting as the mountains of Switzerland. A unique combination of glacial landscape and abundant vegetation, studded by the bright blue waters of the lakes creates an unforgettable vista—and it smells good, too, with peat-fire smoke mingling with fresh mountain air. Killarney itself is the region’s most heavily visited town, thanks in no small part to its proximity to the Ring of Kerry and Shannon Airport. Light rain is typical of the area, but because of the topography, it seldom lasts long. And the clouds' approach over the lakes actually adds to the scenery. Rain is often followed within minutes by brilliant sunshine and, yes, even a rainbow.
Planner
The best time to visit Killarney and its environs is mid-March to June, and September and October. In July and August it's the peak holiday period. March can be chilly, with daily temperatures in the 40s and 50s. The average high in June is 65°, which is about as hot as it gets. May and June are the sunniest months. May and September are the driest months. The farther west you go, the more likely you'll get rain. From November to mid-March daylight hours are short, the weather is damp, and many smaller places on the Kerry coast and in Killarney are closed.
