WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Heavy rain tomorrow, clearing eastwards on Monday morning. Drier conditions will then dominate for much of next week. However, a spell of rain is likely in most areas from Thu PM-Friday AM. Temps slightly above average (10-13°C) Sunshine more widespread from Monday, best in east.

Higher than average rainfall to come for Atlantic coastal counties over the next two weeks, but normal totals are likely across the eastern half of Ireland through the period.

Moore Park in Cork hit 14.8c yesterday, a high for 2026. Plenty of rain about, however, with more to come later today through tonight.

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

There was some brief sunshine in parts of east Munster and south Leinster today, but rain is already pushing into the southwest and will extend countrywide. The effects of ongoing rainfall can be seen in the silted waters of the River Suir and Waterford Harbour. Images Copernicus

Showery conditions will persist over the coming week, though it will be less unsettled than of recent. Temps will peak between 11°C and 14°C over the weekend before gradually easing back from the middle of next week. Atlantic coastal counties will see the highest rainfall totals.

Not now GFS. The US model hints at a cold blast of weather during the first week of the meteorological spring. Based on computer model performances of winter 2025-26, the confidence in such an outcome is low.

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

More than an inch of rain has fallen in parts of County Wicklow over a 12-hour period. The rainfall chart for Greystones illustrates the intensity of the downpour since 4am, with in excess of 30mm recorded along the eastern foothills of the Wicklow Mountains.

Twelve years ago today, Ireland was picking up the pieces after a sting jet developed as Storm Darwin approached the Clare coast. The roar generated by the strongest winds was unforgettable at my location in Clare. Shannon recorded a gust of 156 km/h.

Next week, Atlantic systems will approach from the southwest, with a chance of some high-ground snow on Tuesday evening into Wednesday, particularly in the north and west. Sleet and cold rain elsewhere.

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

A blast of cold weather from Friday through Saturday night will be followed by a slight rise in temperatures. Rainfall extending countrywide will mark the beginning and end of the two-day cold snap, with some dry and sunny spells in between.

What has seemed like an unending period of single-digit temps since Christmas has been broken, with Valentia recording 12°C (13°C yesterday). Rain and overcast conditions are set to continue, however, with a return to colder conditions from late Thursday through Sunday morning.

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

After an exceptionally wet January, some eastern weather stations have recorded more than half of their average February rainfall in the first 5 days of the month. Phoenix Park has reached 66% of its monthly average. The west has remained largely dry. "The Sunny southeast"🙄

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

Some temporary relief is expected for flood-hit areas of Leinster this weekend. More widespread rain will then move across the country from Tuesday through Thursday. Turning colder everywhere by Friday, with below-average temperatures likely into next weekend.

Met Éireann has introduced a Status Orange rainfall warning for Waterford and Wicklow. More than two inches of rain could fall on higher ground (Comeraghs / Wicklow Mts) on Thursday.

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

The next 10 days look generally unsettled across Ireland, but with much lower rainfall totals than those seen over the past 10 days. Despite this, ground conditions will remain waterlogged in all areas.

000

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Temperatures ranging from 2c to 10c across Ireland, with some sleet and wet snow currently falling on higher ground in Ulster. It feels a lot colder than air temps suggest due a significant wind chill effect.

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

The side of the Cruagh Road near Tibradden Wood in the Dublin Mountains subsided today, most likely due to saturated ground conditions.

010

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

Exceptionally, near record-breaking low temperatures across central and northern Florida today. With such deep cold filtering that far south, it's no wonder the jet stream is so fired up and delivering Atlantic system after system toward Ireland and Britain

111

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

Rain has pushed into the southeast and will impact much of Leinster, E Munster and E Ulster through Saturday morning. A Status Yellow warning is in place for Carlow, Dublin, Kilkenny, Louth, Wexford, Wicklow and Waterford, as well as Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone, Derry

010

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

The ECM ensemble mean suggests a SE/E airflow developing in around 7–10 days, with Atlantic systems active to our S/SW. This is similar to pre-Christmas, when a succession of low-pressure systems eventually slipped away to the south, allowing a colder, drier airmass to take hold.

010

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

It's unlikely we'll see sustained dry weather or a cold spell until after the first week of Feb. The jet is being strengthened by persistent cold across the eastern half of North America, keeping Atlantic systems active. Some easing of the cold in the US by second week of Feb.

Dublin has been added to the list of counties under a Rainfall Warning

000

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

Separate Status Yellow rainfall warnings have been issued for the southeast and northeast for Thursday&Friday respectively. Spells of heavy rain may lead to transport disruption and localised flooding, particularly where ground conditions are already saturated or waterlogged and rivers are swollen.

100

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

With high-latitude blocking likely in early Feb, operational runs are converging on a signal for colder conditions developing around day 10. However, with deep cold forecast over the US driving a strong jet stream, & mixed ensemble support, confidence in this outcome remains low.

000

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Even the barometer is feeling low about today's weather. Incidentally, the lowest Mean Sea Level Pressure (hPa) record for Ireland in January is 936.6 hPa, set at Markree in Sligo on Jan 26th 1884. #StormChandra bottomed out at around 959 hPa in Cork and Kerry.

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

A 120 kmh gust has been recorded at Malin Head in the past hour as rain, turning to snow on high ground in Ulster and north Connacht, continues to feed north. Wind gusts reaching over 140 kmh in western Scotland. Thousands remain without power across Ireland. #StormChandra

Ireland's path to cold in early February

As long as cold air remains firmly entrenched over the eastern half of the United States, the current weather pattern affecting Ireland is highly likely to persist.

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

Bands of rain are wrapped around the centre of a slack low-pressure system currently positioned over the east coast. Dry spells will develop across the western half of Ireland during Sunday.

000

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

A small risk of rain turning to snow on high ground from Tuesday evening through Wednesday morning.

000

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

particularly in elevated areas of the northern half of Ireland. It will be cold rain for most however. Precip totals are forecast to be well above normal, and with soil conditions already close to saturation in all areas, there is an increasing risk of localised flooding. 2/2

000

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

With moderate winds at times, it will feel cold over the next 10–14 days. Temps will be slightly below normal, and with a colder pool of air to our N&E, subtle changes in the track of Atlantic low-pressure systems could give rise to a risk of sleet and wet snow developing... 1/2

110

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

Overnight model runs point toward chilly, wet and, at times, windy weather, with the prospect of calmer, drier and colder conditions now looking unlikely over the next 10 days. Incidentally, it was on this date 13 years ago that a not-dissimilar synoptic setup was in place.

000

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

Outbreaks of rain, heavy in places, extending to all areas from the south through the day. A clearance to showers following from the south through the afternoon.

000

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

Beyond that point, there are growing signals for Atlantic low pressure systems to encroach, potentially moderating conditions from the west. These ensembles do not indicate significant wintry weather for Ireland. The final forecast is far from resolved.

000

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

The ECMWF ensemble mean is colder than the overnight operational run. In the far-range (FI), from Sunday onward, guidance indicates cold air beginning to push into eastern and northeastern Ireland. This cold incursion then extends progressively westward and southward through to Wednesday.

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

The sun has come out across the southwest and west as this morning's cloud and rain clears east. This is the scene in Killarney. The other image by NASA shows clear skies extending over the far southwest.

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

Unsettled conditions will dominate over the coming week, with spells of rain and occasional moderate winds. Daytime temps will generally range between 6 and 8 °C. A gradual shift to colder conditions is likely from late this week into next week, with temps falling in stages.

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Models have shifted towards the possibility of a cold outbreak around a week from now. A long-hinted easterly-sourced airmass remains a plausible outcome, though Atlantic systems are never far away. Much still to be resolved.

000

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

Met Éireann's final sentence in its forecast is a fair refection of the medium to long range prospects i.e. 'signal'. The chances of a cold spell are heightened compared to normal. www.met.ie/national-for...

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

Carrauntoohill looks🥶over the next 10 days. Temps across Ireland will run slightly below average, with many inland and sheltered locations seeing night-time values close to freezing, particularly away from Atlantic coasts. Rainfall will be below normal away from southern areas.

WeathÉire @weatheire.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

Fog will become widespread overnight Fri into Sat morning and will persist in a few spots through the day. Where fog lingers, temps will struggle to rise above 3–4°C on Saturday. Elsewhere, temps will generally reach 5–8°C. Fog will become more widespread again on Saturday night.
