Original name of the region: An Mhumhain

Munster, located in the southern part of Ireland, has a varied coastline along the Atlantic Ocean and the Celtic Sea. The water temperatures along this coast are influenced by the warmer ocean currents coming from the south, though they still remain relatively cool compared to more southern European destinations. During winter, sea temperatures around the Munster coast typically drop to about 8°C (46°F), which can feel chilly for swimming or other water activities but is still not as cold as northern parts of the country.

As summer arrives, the sea temperatures around Munster rise to more comfortable levels, reaching around 15°C to 17°C (59°F to 63°F) in July and August. While these temperatures are still on the cooler side compared to southern Europe, they are quite pleasant for activities such as surfing, kayaking, or coastal exploration. The region is known for its beautiful beaches, particularly along the counties of Cork and Kerry, where the warmer summer waters make it more inviting for water sports and leisure.

The influence of the Atlantic Ocean is a significant factor in moderating temperatures along Munster’s coast. It ensures that while the waters may not reach the warmth of Mediterranean beaches, the sea remains relatively mild year-round, with seasonal fluctuations that make it suitable for various outdoor activities, particularly in the summer. Visitors can expect refreshing yet cool conditions ideal for active pursuits, though those looking for warmer seas will find them more temperate than in northern regions of Ireland.
