Low-carbon travel from Dublin, month by month
Dublin has no fixed rail link to the European network, and no ferry or rail-and-sail itinerary is modelled here, so every journey is costed by air. The warmest destination on any month's frontier is Kom Ombo at 36.8 °C in August, costing 1,070 kg CO₂e return.
Three questions, twelve months. Pick the one that matches what you're actually after — the warmest place is rarely the sunniest.

No rail option from Dublin. There is no fixed rail link between here and the continental network, so every destination below is reached by air. The comparison this site usually draws — train against plane — does not apply from this city.
Warmest is not sunniest
They come apart, and the gap is the useful part. A mild Atlantic coast can be grey; a colder inland month can be bright. Temperature alone will send you somewhere wet, which is why every table on this site carries sunshine and rainfall next to the degrees.
Every month, both questions
