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
It'll be mostly cloudy this afternoon, and while there'll some scattered outbreaks of rain here and there, there'll be a good lot of dry weather overall for a time. However, storm Bert will send in more showery rain from the west and southwest through the afternoon and evening and will be heavy at times, with hail and thunder possible. South to southwest will generally decrease moderate or fresh for a time this afternoon, stronger in coastal parts of the south and west, but will generally strengthen again this evening, strongest in the southwest, south and southeast. Highest temperatures of 12 to 15 degrees.
Anocht
Windy tonight with showery rain, heavy in places with spot flooding will continue to track eastwards across the country with clear spells and scattered blustery showers following from the west to all areas by morning. Lowest temperatures of 5 to 9 degrees in fresh to strong and gusty south to southwest winds, reaching near gale to gale force in southern coastal parts for a time early tonight and towards morning in western coastal parts.
Amárach
A windy or very windy day tomorrow with sunny spells and scattered heavy showers, most frequent for Atlantic counties where they will merge to longer spells of rain at times, particularly in the west and northwest. Highest temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees with strong and gusty south to southwest winds with gales or strong gales near coasts, strongest in the west and northwest.
