Latest Rainfall Radar showing live precipitation and the last 90 minutes precipitation over Ireland, updated every 5 minutes. Precipitation can be rain, hail or snow. Accumulations can refer to rainfall only.
Lightning strikes, when they occur, are displayed as a cross. Initially, they are red but change to orange and then yellow after a period, then disappear © Met Office ATDNet.
Ground Clutter may appear (South Co. Dublin), bright bands and spokes may also be present in images. They are artefacts (false echoes) of rainfall radar systems and should be ignored. Further information on Radar here
Met Éireann forecasters manually produce the weather icons for midday and midnight to reflect the predicted major weather type for these times.
The rainfall forecast is direct model output from Numerical Weather Prediction models but is a guideline only. Rain refers to precipitation, which can be rain, sleet or snow. It forecasts how much rain will fall (in mm) hourly during the previous hour (accumulations), then in 3 hourly and finally 6 hourly accumulations up to 7 days. This service is based on data and products of the HARMONIE-AROME and the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) models.
The wind is direct model output from Numerical Weather Prediction models but is a guideline only. It forecasts the strength of the wind (in knots and km/h) at 10m for the top of each hour, in hourly, then 3 hourly and finally 6 hourly intervals up to 7 days. The wind arrow tip points in the direction the wind is blowing and the tail length indicates wind strength. However, in the text forecast below, it is described as where it is blowing from. This service is based on data and products of the HARMONIE-AROME and the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) models.
The temperature is direct model output from Numerical Weather Prediction models but is a guideline only. It forecasts air temperature on land and over sea in °C for the top of each hour, 3 hourly and finally 6 hourly intervals up to 7 days. Minus zero (-0) indicates values between 0 to -0.5°C. This service is based on data and products of the HARMONIE-AROME and the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) models.
The Mean Sea Level Pressure (MSLP) is direct model output from Numerical Weather Prediction models but is a guideline only. It forecasts the MSLP in hecto Pascals (hPa) for the top of that hour initially in 3 hourly intervals, then 6 hourly. This service is based on data and products of the HARMONIE-AROME and the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) models.

Inniu
Breezy or rather windy today and while there'll be a good deal of dry weather across the eastern half of the country at first this morning, showers further west will continue to extend eastwards, some of them heavy at times. A more organised spell of rain in the northwest and west will gradually spread eastwards through the day too, heaviest in the west and northwest, with some localised flooding possible. There's the chance of a few isolated thunderstorms too, especially further to the northwest and west. Highest temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees in mostly fresh and gusty south to southwesterly winds, strong to near gale force at times in Atlantic coastal parts, with the winds tending to moderate inland later on.
Anocht
Further showers will continue to feed in from the west overnight, merging into longer spells of rain at times in the northwest, turning heavy in places. Good dry spells will develop though in eastern parts. Lowest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees with mostly moderate, occasionally fresh, southwest to west winds, strong along western coasts.
Amárach
Tomorrow, Monday, will bring fairly widespread showers, some of those heavy, with a longer spell of rain for a time in the northwest. There'll be some bright or sunny spells too, the best of these later in the day as the showers ease and become mostly confined to the west. Highest temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees with moderate to fresh westerly winds, decreasing light to moderate southwesterly through the evening.
