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
Dry this morning away from the northwest, west and southwest, with a mix of cloud and some bright or suuny spells, the best of the sunny spells further to the east and southeast. Cloudy though further west, with rain and drizzle, along with some mist and hill fog, mainly affecting west Ulster, Connacht and west Munster. The rain, drizzle, mist and fog will only slowly extend a little further southeastwards through the afternoon and evening, weakening as it does, so becoming light and patchy, with a clearance following further west. The east and southeast will hold onto the dry and brighter conditions though for the day. Highest temperatures of 12 to 16 degrees in light southeasterly breezes, veering light to moderate north to northwesterly with the clearance further west.
Anocht
Overnight light outbreaks of rain or drizzle will linger across eastern counties. However, amounts will be minimal with most of the country staying largely dry. Mist and fog will set in too with just light variable breezes. Lowest temperatures of 2 to 8 degrees, mildest along southern and eastern coastal fringes.
Amárach
A mostly dry and bright start across the country, with light drizzle possible over eastern coastal fringes. Any mist and fog will burn off early leaving sunny spells developing through the day. Feeling chilly with highest temperatures of just 10 to 13 degrees in light northerly breezes.
