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
Warm or very warm and humid and dry for most today with plenty of sunshine and just the chance of an isolated shower. Cloudier at times though in the northwest, west and southwest, but with just a few isolated spots of drizzle, mist and with some coastal fog possible there. Highest temperatures generally of 22 to 29 degrees, warmest in the south and east, but a cooler 19 to 21 degrees in parts of the northwest, west and southwest in light, occasionally moderate, westerly or variable breezes.
Anocht
Continuing dry in most places tonight with some clear spells. Cloudy though further to the west and northwest with a few spots of drizzle. It'll gradually become cloudier in other areas too overnight, though clear spells will likely persist further south. There'll be a few mist and fog patches too. Lowest temperatures of 12 to 15 degrees across parts of the west and north, but milder and humid elsewhere with lowest temperatures between 15 and 18 degrees. Winds will be light and variable.
Amárach
Tomorrow, Wednesday, will likely be fairly cloudy to begin, especially across the northern half of the country, while there'll be good spells of sunshine further south. The sunshine will gradually become more widespread through the day. While many areas will stay dry, a few spots of light rain and drizzle are likely at times, mainly in Connacht and Ulster, and especially further to the west, while a few isolated showers are possible elsewhere. Very warm or hot and humid with highest temperatures generally of 23 to 29 degrees, warmest across the southern half of the country, a little lower in some coastal parts, in light variable breezes.
