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 dry today with the best of the sunny spells across Munster and Leinster. Some rain and drizzle may move into west and northwest areas later this afternoon. Mild for the time of year with highest temperatures of 15 to 19 degrees, best values further east. Southwest winds will gradually freshen, increasing strong and gusty across west Connacht and for northwest coasts.
Anocht
Tonight will become increasingly cloudy with occasional rain and drizzle across west and northwest counties. Generally dry elsewhere. Relatively mild with lowest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees in moderate to fresh southwest winds, stronger in western and northwestern parts for a time.
Amárach
Tomorrow, Tuesday, will be a duller start as rain and drizzle across west and northwest counties, moves into remaining areas during the afternoon. Some mist and fog patches too. While a clearance to sunny spells will follow from the Northwest through the afternoon, rain and drizzle will persist across southern and eastern areas until nightfall. Highest temperatures of 12 to 17 degrees, with mostly moderate southwest winds, veering northwest as the rain clears and decreasing light to moderate.
