Last month was the coldest June since 2015, according to Met Éireann.
June had an average temperature of 13 degrees Celsius – 3 degrees below last year, which was the warmest on record.
It was the 56th coolest June out of 125 on record with temperatures below average almost everywhere.
Met Éireann said it was a relatively cool and dry month overall, with the first half of June dominated by Arctic winds which were blocking high pressure.
The wettest period was in the middle of the month. However, rainfall was below average everywhere.
The highest temperature last month – 26.6 degrees – was recorded at Dublin's Phoenix Park on June 24th.
