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
Any isolated mist and fog and any frost will clear this morning to leave a dry, bright day with plenty of sunshine. Highest temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees in just light variable breezes, becoming light to moderate east to northeast.
Anocht
Dry and cold tonight with mostly clear skies at first, but with some mist and fog forming, which will likely become fairly widespread and dense across parts of Ulster. Connacht and north Leinster. Lowest temperatures generally between -1 and 4 degrees, with some frost. It'll be less cold in some eastern and southern coastal parts, with a little bit more in the way of cloud at times and it'll likely remain mostly fog free there. Winds will just be light variable or east to northeasterly, or indeed near calm in some northern areas.
Amárach
A cold start to tomorrow, Tuesday with mist, fog and some frost. Any frost will quickly clear, but the mist and fog, which will likely be fairly widespread at first across parts of the north, midlands and west will just gradually clear through the morning and will possibly linger in some areas into the afternoon. Otherwise it'll be a mostly dry day, with good spells of sunshine developing. However, cloud will build from the east at times, bringing a few showers, especially further to the east. Highest temperatures generally of 9 to 12 degrees, maybe a little lower where the fog is slow to clear. Winds will be mostly light variable at first, becoming light to moderate northeast to east.
