Dublin has finally seen sunlight after 11 consecutive days of overcast skies, equalling a record set in March 1969. Met Éireann confirmed that from February 8 to 18, Dublin Airport recorded zero sunshine, making it the longest dull spell in over 50 years. Locals, relieved by the return of the sun, flocked to Sandymount Beach to enjoy the bright weather. Ireland typically receives between 1,100 and 1,600 sunshine hours annually, with May and June being the sunniest months. The longest recorded sunless streak in Ireland remains 16 days, observed in 1956 and again in 2018-2019.
