Maybe it'll be the gentlest flurry, maybe there'll be an almighty blizzard… But what everyone in the Irish capital want to know is if there'll be Christmas snow in Dublin this year?
Snowflakes in Dublin isn't the most frequent sight, but it has been known to happen occasionally. And when it happens on Christmas Day, it's completely magical. Or a pain in the arse, depending on if you have to drive across the city or not. We're not exactly known for managing unusual weather events too well, after all!
But do you have an inkling if there will be Christmas snow in Dublin? Maybe you want to back up that yes or a no with a little wager? In which case, our frequently asked questions will sort you right out.

Next, scroll down until you find Snow on 25th December 2024. There's also a Snow on 24th December 2024, but you'll only find Dublin in the 25th December section.
You can place your bet any time from now until 23:00 on 24th December 2024. But remember odds might well change between then and now!
For you to win your Christmas snow in Dublin bet, it has to snow in one particular place. Dublin International Airport. The weather station there is what this whole thing is based on. And as we're talking about Snow on 25th December 2024 in particular, snow has to fall during that calendar day, starting at 00:01 and ending at 23:59 on Christmas Day.
Anyone who's been waiting for a lift home from Dublin Airport might recall just how chilly it can get out there. Fingers crossed that ups the chances for snow even a little!
At the moment, the odds are 4/1 that there will be Christmas snow in Dublin, meanwhile there are odds of 1/7 that there won't be. So the odds of a white Christmas in Dublin might not necessarily be in our favour, but who knows what will happen closer to the date.
Speaking of, all of this is based on what the odds were at the time of writing. Definitely take a look at the most recent odds at bet365.
Whether it's a single snowflake or a huge blanket of white, Christmas snow in Dublin doesn't occur all that often. Since records began in 1941, there have only been 13 Christmases with snowfall recorded at Dublin Airport.
If you're curious, those years were 1950, 1956, 1962, 1964, 1970, 1984, 1990, 1993, 1995, 1999, 2000, 2004 and 2010. So there hasn't been as much as a flurry in 20 years. Could that mean we're due one, or is it getting increasingly unlikely?
Well this is the million euro question! Meteorologists are constantly trying to predict what the weather will do next. So your best bet is to learn all you can about the white stuff.
