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
Mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain and drizzle at first this afternoon and patches of mist too. Brighter, drier and fresher conditions with isolated showers will continue to slowly extend from the northwest, though it will remain mostly cloudy and damp for much of the south and east into this evening. Cooler than recently, with afternoon highs of 11 to 14 degrees, generally, but still reaching 15 to 17 degrees near the south coast. Light to moderate northerly breezes.
Anocht
Any lingering rain in the southeast will clear overnight, leaving a dry night for many with clear spells. However, scattered showers will feed into the west and north. Colder than previous nights, with lowest temperatures of 2 to 7 degrees in mostly light northwest or variable breezes. There is a chance of a few isolated mist or fog patches.<br><br>
Amárach
Tomorrow, Wednesday, will be a cool and bright autumnal day for many with plenty of sunshine and scattered showers, mainly affecting the north and west through the morning. Those showers will spread elsewhere through the afternoon and early evening, before becoming isolated later. Highest temperatures of 10 to 14 degrees, with a moderate to fresh northwesterly breeze.
