Switch from sheep to vines, beat the rush, build a chateau and a fine cellar.
Sunny south east is not a myth but after the last few summers it is not quite matching the legend.
Hopefully 2025 will return us to the land of plenty of cancerous rays ☀️
Well it is nicknamed “The Sunny South-East”!
I grew up there. Currently live in West Cork – contrast is massive!
Wexford is full!
(Unless you have donuts) 🍩🍩🍩
Our nearest weather station at home (Claremorris) records an average of 1,072 hours annually. The greyness really is bleak.
It’s true….Rosslare seems to have it’s own micro climate….I have often noticed how it can be cloudy in Wexford town but sunny in Rosslare just 20 minutes away.
There used to be a weather station in Rosslare & it’s now moved to Wexford, but it did record the most amount of sunshine compared to the rest of the country (and a little bit more compared to Wexford!)
On the other hand, we’re not the warmest or driest just sunniest which is still delightful!
Our motto rings true once again! 💪🟪🟨💪

Why so little rain around Dublin? Pollution?
Finding this very hard to believe. West Cork gets way more rain than further inland.
😊😊 I live in that area and defo true but today is grey and raining if it makes you feel better
Why is the darkest colour used for the most sunlight?
We definitely didn’t get the storm as severely but the weather is still almost constantly miserable
Feck off we are closed for renovations.
Can we talk about the 2.4 metres/ 8 ft of rainfall?
I thought it rained more in Limerick? Was this more lies again from Mr McCourt? Hammered his mother he did, and now this.
1600 is the same as London which is pretty decent compared to most of Ireland.
Cork might get a run for it’s Money with all the Dubs that have moved to Wexford- may start calling it the real capital.
Wexford town is a mighty little spot.
Sunniest place in Ireland is on a par with best kebab in Abbeyfeale.
OP, the only problem is getting there. If you live in Dublin, flying to Spain is quicker than taking the train to Wexford.
Belmullet paid off someone to doctor this map.
The sunny south east lad !
The spicy arse of Ireland, my parents always called it.
I’m gonna get out of this country after college
Live in Belfast, used to go holidaying in Wexford as a kid – Cahore point.
It really does earn it’s name as the sunny south east. Kids are usually in their summer school uniform from Easter onwards here right up to start of October ! I remember sending my kids down to my parents in cork for two weeks in the summer and my mam ringing giving out that they were freezing. I only sent shorts and tshirts with them , the stuff they have on here all the time in the summer, she had to run to Penny’s and buy them tracksuit bottoms and raincoats 😂
I moved from Donegal to South East for work a couple years back in 2016. When I went home every couple weeks to help out on the farm people would ask me had I been away on holidays because of the tan. I actually scoffed when my dad referred to it as “the sunny South East” as I didn’t believe the weather could have been that much better until I moved there.
I used to drive up through the midlands and it’d be blue skies the whole way until you could see the black clouds hanging over the Sligo mountains and the north west.
It’s tropical compared to Donegal.
Sure we’re the Florida of Ireland.
Angela’s ashes lied to me. It doesn’t, in fact, rain 364 days a year in limerick.
I’m from Wexford, I moved to North Yorkshire in the uk, you’d think there wouldn’t be much difference but my food there is. I miss the weather at home a lot. I basically leave the house as little as possible in winter now
Big red arse up on it.
The arsehole of Ireland. Great memories, deserves a trip and stroll on the beach
Hope you like wind!
I grew up in Wexford and it’s definitely noticeably brighter & warmer at home, especially when you’re in the midlands where I am now.
It’s a great oul spot. Beaches are fantastic also and the town itself is a hopping little spot.
Whats going on at the mouth of Strangford Loch in NI that they get more sunshine than further South on the East coast?
I imagine the hours will increase a lot in the coming decades
Irelands bum bum
Sure my neighbor just built an extension in the backyard, they might rent it to you for 2k a month

Lovely wine country now.
