How can I get live weather for my location?

Live weather updates from Met Éireann

Met Éireann’s homepage provides a regional forecast for Dublin and shows live precipitation radar updated every 5 minutes (Met Éireann homepage (official Irish meteorological service)).
The high-resolution rainfall radar displays the last 90 minutes of precipitation over Ireland (Met Éireann live radar).

Using radar for real-time precipitation

Interactive animated maps for rainfall, temperature, wind, and pressure forecasts are available up to 7 days (Met Éireann app on Apple App Store).
You can also check RTÉ Weather for hourly and 7-day forecasts across the Republic of Ireland (RTÉ Weather (Irish public broadcaster)).

The implication: live data is only a tap away, and the radar is your best friend for knowing exactly what’s overhead.

What is the hourly weather forecast for my location?

Hourly breakdown of temperature and conditions

Met Éireann’s Dublin City forecast shows hourly details including temperature, wind, and precipitation type (Met Éireann Dublin City forecast).
For example, rain and drizzle are developing in Connacht, Ulster, and west Munster while Leinster and much of Munster remain largely dry (Same forecast).

How to interpret hourly forecast data

Hourly data includes temperature in Celsius, wind speed, direction, and rain probability as a percentage (Met Éireann hourly guide).
The national forecast adds context: a mobile Atlantic regime brings rain or showers each day (Met Éireann national forecast).

What this means: scanning the hourly chart helps you decide whether the afternoon walk needs a raincoat — and the percentage tells you the confidence behind that.

What is tomorrow’s weather forecast for my location?

Tomorrow’s temperature and wind

Met Éireann’s national forecast for Sunday 7 June predicts a cloudy day with outbreaks of rain, some heavy, spreading across the country through morning and afternoon (Met Éireann national forecast).
Highest temperatures reach 13 to 17 degrees with moderate to fresh southwest winds (Same forecast).

Weather warnings for tomorrow

Check Met Éireann’s warnings page before heading out; currently no color-coded warnings are in effect for land, but marine warnings remain yellow (Met Éireann warnings today).
A Blight Advisory is in effect, relevant for farmers and gardeners (Same page).

The pattern: even when no severe warnings are active, marine conditions and advisories can still affect coastal plans.

Will it rain at my location today?

Rain radar maps

The live rainfall radar on Met.ie updates every 5 minutes and shows the last 90 minutes of precipitation (Met Éireann radar).
You can overlay intensity and switch to a forecast radar to see where rain is heading (Same tool).

Rain probability and intensity

Met Éireann’s Dublin forecast indicates rain and drizzle are forecast for western and northern parts before affecting other areas later (Dublin City forecast).
The national forecast notes rain may be heavy and persistent in places as it spreads on Sunday (National forecast).

The trade-off: radar gives you the now, but the probability map tells you how likely that shower is to cross your garden.

Why this matters

Anyone planning an outdoor event in Ireland this week faces a real chance of heavy rain — the forecast for Sunday 7 June shows persistent downpours, and the mobile Atlantic regime means no day is guaranteed dry.

Are there any weather warnings for my location in Ireland today?

Understanding red, orange, and yellow warnings

Met Éireann issues color-coded warnings: yellow for potential risk, orange for dangerous, red for severe weather requiring action (Met Éireann warning guide).
Currently no land warnings are active, but marine yellow warnings are in effect for force 6 winds on all Irish coasts (Same page).

Where to find official warnings

The official warnings page at met.ie/warnings-today.html is the single source of truth (Met Éireann warnings today).
RTÉ Weather also broadcasts warnings from Met Éireann (RTÉ Weather (partner broadcaster)).

The catch: a “no warning” status doesn’t mean perfect weather — it means the risk is low, but you still need to watch marine alerts if you’re near the coast.

What to watch

Sailors and coastal walkers: yellow marine warnings for force 6 winds are active across all Irish coasts. Met Éireann advises small craft operators to check conditions carefully before heading out.

Timeline: recent storm warnings in Ireland

January 2024 – Storm Isha brought red wind warnings across Ireland (Met Éireann).
February 2024 – Storm Jocelyn resulted in orange warnings (Met Éireann).

The pattern: severe storms have hit Ireland in recent winters, and the warning system is tested during these events.

What we know and what’s unclear

Confirmed facts

Met Éireann is the official meteorological service for Ireland (Met Éireann homepage).
Red weather warnings mean danger to life (Met Éireann warnings guide).

What’s unclear

Future weather patterns beyond 3 days are less certain (Met Éireann national forecast).
Local microclimates may cause variations from city forecasts (Met Éireann advice).

“Stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel.”

— Met Éireann, official statement on red warnings (Met Éireann warnings)

“A mobile Atlantic regime bringing continued unsettled weather with rain or showers each day.”

— Met Éireann national forecast (Met Éireann forecast)

The upshot: short-term forecasts are highly reliable, but planning beyond the weekend means staying flexible — and always checking the radar before you step out.

Bottom line: Ireland’s weather is dynamic by nature, but official tools like Met Éireann’s radar and hourly forecasts give you the edge. For daily commuters: check morning radar and warnings. For outdoor planners: use the 7-day outlook but re-verify 24 hours before. For coastal users: respect marine yellow warnings even on land-calm days.

Frequently asked questions

How do I change my location on Met Éireann?

On the Met Éireann website, use the location search bar at the top of the page to type your town or city. On the app, tap the location icon and search or allow GPS access for automatic updates (Met Éireann help).

What is the difference between a yellow and orange warning?

Yellow means weather may pose a risk to those exposed to the elements. Orange means it is dangerous, with travel likely affected and some disruption expected. Red means severe weather with danger to life (Met Éireann warning definitions).

How often is the forecast updated?

Met Éireann updates its national and regional forecasts at least twice daily, but the live radar refreshes every 5 minutes. Hourly forecasts are recalculated with each new synoptic cycle (Met Éireann update policy).

Can I trust AccuWeather for Irish weather?

AccuWeather uses its own models that may differ from Met Éireann’s official data. For the most accurate, location-specific Irish conditions, Met Éireann is the authoritative source because it uses local observation networks and radar (Met Éireann official data).

What temperature does it need to be for snow in Ireland?

Snow is possible when ground temperatures are near or below 0°C and precipitation is falling. In Ireland, due to maritime influence, wet snow often occurs at 1-2°C, but significant accumulation usually requires sub-zero temperatures throughout the air column (Met Éireann snow guidance).

How can I get weather alerts on my phone?

Download the free Met Éireann app from the Apple or Google Play store. Enable notifications to receive push alerts for weather warnings. Alternatively, follow Met Éireann on social media or sign up for email alerts on their website (Met Éireann app on Apple App Store).

What does a status red warning mean for travel?

A red warning means severe weather is expected and the public is advised to avoid travel. Roads may be closed, and public transport can be suspended. Met Éireann explicitly says “stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel” (Met Éireann red warning advice).

For anyone living in or visiting Ireland, the weather doesn’t have to be a guessing game. Use Met Éireann’s radar and warnings page as your first check each morning. For commuters in Dublin, the hourly forecast tells you exactly when that rain starts. For farmers, the Blight Advisory is a must-watch. The choice is clear: rely on the official source, check radar before you leave, and plan around the warnings — or risk getting caught in the next Atlantic downpour.
