A soft 19–20°C average July high with the Atlantic keeping it temperate — Galway essentially never clears 30°C and rarely tops 25°C, so there is no heat risk. Light to 22:00, trad music in the Latin Quarter, sea-swimming off the Blackrock tower (a brisk 15°C), and the gateway to Connemara and the Cliffs of Moher. The honest trade is the changeable Atlantic weather: pack layers and a rain jacket, prize the sunshine as a bonus.
