Best time to visit Shannon

As Shannon is a small town with no attractions of its own, it doesn’t have a peak tourist season. You could visit any time, although the town experiences rainfall throughout the year. Summer (June – August) would be the most popular time to visit if you want to explore the outdoor attractions, with less rainfall (especially in June and July). However, be warned: if you visit other destinations like Limerick and Galway from Shannon, you will encounter more tourists there. Mid to late spring (April – May) and early autumn (September – October) offers cool weather, but April and May enjoy the least amount of rainfall.
