The climate of Bangor (Northern Ireland)
Bangor is located in the eastern part of Northern Ireland in County
Down. Bangor is located in the vicinity of Belfast and is part of the
Belfast metropolitan area. A few years ago Bangor was voted ‘best city
in Northern Ireland’ by the Irish. The most famous building is Bangor
Abbey which was built in 558 AD. Throughout history the abbey was
destroyed and rebuilt several times until the present-day building was
built in the 14th century. Just like the rest of Northern Ireland
Bangor has a mild maritime climate with few extremes. Bangor has the
mildest climate in the country; temperatures are slightly higher here
than in the rest of the country. The micro climate which can be found
here even causes palm trees to grow here. Snowfall is uncommon as well
as subzero temperatures. During the warmest days of the year high
humidity figures cause an unpleasantly muggy feel. The highest
temperature on record is 33 degrees Celsius. The lowest temperature on
record is -5.4 degrees Celsius. The average maximum temperature during
the summer is 21 degrees Celsius. Bangor gets 1,527 hours of annual
sunshine on average.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
