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.

Today
A cloudy and misty start with some fog patches too. Wet with widespread rain and drizzle in northern parts, but just scattered outbreaks elsewhere. The rain and drizzle will mostly clear northwards through the morning, but with patchy outbreaks lingering over western parts. Some mist and fog may also linger. Some bright spells will develop further east through the day, but with some scattered showers also. A mild day with highest temperatures of 12 to 16 degrees with light to moderate southerly winds.
Tonight
A mostly cloudy night with just some patchy light rain and drizzle. It will be misty with some hill fog too. There will be limited clear spells though, mainly in the north and east. A band of more persistent rain will begin to push into the southwest towards early morning. Lowest temperatures of 8 to 11 degrees with light to moderate southeasterly winds, freshening in the southwest towards morning.
Tomorrow
Friday will be a mostly cloudy day, misty too. It will be a wet start in the southwest with widespread rain, but just scattered showers elsewhere. The rain will slowly spread northeastwards from the southwest through the morning and afternoon. As it does so, it will become patchier, giving way to drier conditions in the evening with some clear spells following too. Light to moderate or fresh southeasterly winds will veer westerly as the rain passes. Highest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees.
