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
Cold, with some frost and ice to begin today, Friday. Dry and sunny conditions in the north and west but lingering cloud and rain in the south and east, producing further spot flooding and some sleet in places initially. The rain will gradually clear south-eastwards as the day goes on with just a few isolated showers following in the north and west. Afternoon highs of 3 to 7 degrees with moderate to fresh northerly winds, strong and gusty at times in the south and east, easing later.
Anocht
Very cold tonight, with widespread frost and icy patches. It'll be a mainly dry night, apart the odd wintry shower in Ulster and north Connacht. While it will be mostly clear for a time, high cloud will start to build in from the Atlantic overnight. Lowest temperatures of 0 to -4 degrees in light variable breezes.
Amárach
Cold, dry and bright to begin with widespread frost and icy patches. Cloud will thicken from the west through the day, with rain spreading northeastwards over the country through the afternoon and evening, turning heavy in parts, and possibly falling as sleet or wet snow for a time, mainly in Connacht and then in Ulster later, before transitioning back to rain. Afternoon highs of just 2 to 5 degrees generally but turning milder from the southwest after dark. Winds be mostly light southerly to begin, but it will turn windy later as winds back southeasterly and increase fresh to strong and gusty.
