Welcome. On this website you will find in depth details of Kilkenny's weather and climate.The Winter (Dec.- Feb.) overall was very cold. The coldest in Kilkenny since 1962/63. The average air temperature was only 2.5° (in 62/63 it was 2.1°). At least it was a dry winter with total rainfall of 188mm (78% of normal). During the very cold spell in early January temperatures dipped to between -11° and -12° at many inland parts. Met Éireann have confirmed that the coldest official temperature was -16.3°, recorded at Mount Juliet, Co Kilkenny (site pictured below). The Thomastown area, as with much of the east and south east of the county received a deep cover of snow and this coupled with the lowlying, sheltered estate location, provided the ideal conditions for registering very low air temperatures. Outlook week beginning Mon 8th Mar: This week should be fine, dry and sunny. The stiff east wind should ease also by mid week but it will be cold by night with plenty of frost. During the day it will feel pleasant in the sunshine. By Friday it may become a little cloudier as winds swing about to the north. Next weekend looks like staying mostly dry also but remaining cool. Next update Sunday 14th Mar.
