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
Generally cloudy today with outbreaks of rain and drizzle in the northwest and west and with misty conditions along the south coast. The rain and drizzle will slowly extend eastwards through the day, heaviest and most persistent in the west and north, but it's unlikely to reach much of the east and southeast coast until after nightfall. It'll become drier and a little brighter in the northwest and west in the evening. Highest temperatures of just 14 to 17 degrees in western parts of Connacht and Ulster, but generally 18 to 23 degrees, warmest in the east, with light to moderate southerly winds, gradually veering northwesterly and freshening for a time near southwestern coasts.
Anocht
Becoming largely dry tonight as the last of the rain, drizzle and mist clears eastwards overnight, but may linger in the southeast. There'll be some clear spells, mainly in the west. Lowest temperatures of 8 to 13 degrees generally, milder in the southeast, with light, occasionally moderate north to northwest breezes.
Amárach
I'll start off fairly cloudy tomorrow morning, especially in the east and southeast, with any patchy drizzle in the southeast clearing. Elsewhere there'll be a mix of cloud and sunny spells, with a few isolated showers. Into the afternoon and evening, better sunny spells will develop, with a good lot of dry weather, but with well scattered showers too, some possibly heavy, especially in the south. Highest temperatures of 15 to 19 or 20 degrees, warmest in the south, in light, occasionally moderate, north or northwest breezes.
