Winter has arrived on Ireland's highest mountain peak at Carrauntoohill, Co Kerry.
November 16, 2025 at 12:14 AM
The GEM has opted for an easterly later in November. It is not exactly pulling in the coldest air, but it underlines just how much uncertainty surrounds the weather prospects over the coming weeks. Our weather prospects are metaphorically and literally up in the air.
November 15, 2025 at 6:02 PM
Our weather is set to become drier, gradually improving from the weekend through to mid-week next week. Overnight frosts are likely to develop, with a return to milder and more unsettled conditions expected later next week.
November 12, 2025 at 11:22 AM
The bottom row relates to precipitation totals. After today and Friday's rain, you can see a trend toward much drier conditions for Ireland up to mid-week next week. It will also turn colder as the top row illustrates.
November 12, 2025 at 11:05 AM
Due to already saturated or waterlogged ground conditions, rainfall over the next 18 hours will result in localised flooding. Motorists should exercise caution tomorrow morning.
November 10, 2025 at 11:56 PM
The GFS and ECMWF ensembles indicate a shift to colder, drier conditions away from northeast-facing coasts from about a week from now. The drop in temperature would be quite noticeable considering values have ran around 5C above average during the first weekend of November..
November 9, 2025 at 12:00 AM
The highest rainfall totals up to Thursday morning will occur in southern counties, with totals possibly exceeding 60 mm. The greatest risk of localised flooding is expected from Monday night into Tuesday, due to already saturated ground.

Rain is now moving into western counties, with sunshine persisting further north and east.
November 8, 2025 at 1:29 PM
It was another overcast day, though the sun did break through in places during the afternoon. This was the scene at midday, when the Copernicus Sentinel-2A satellite passed over Ireland.
November 7, 2025 at 9:13 PM
This evening's ECM run illustrates the flabby, rain-making low pressure mess that will develop over Ireland next week. It also suggests that colder air and drier conditions will eventually break through by Day 8-9 (15-16 Nov) in the forecast period.
November 7, 2025 at 7:09 PM
The GFS is suggesting colder conditions from the middle of the month. Considerable uncertainty remains, but changes are certainly afoot in the upper atmosphere as we edge closer to the meteorological winter.
November 6, 2025 at 1:10 PM
Good news: It's a very mild morning.
Bad news: The incoming rain will feel warmer than normal.

A Status Yellow rainfall alert is in place for Kerry, Clare, Galway and Mayo.
November 3, 2025 at 8:03 AM
As highlighted in our long-range outlook over the last week, there are signs that higher-than-average pressure may build near Ireland by mid-month. Latest computer models suggest the Atlantic conveyor belt of rain and wind could be slowed by blocking to our west and northwest. One to watch.
November 2, 2025 at 5:17 PM
The old saying “Red sky in the morning, shepherds’ warning” proved accurate in Dublin today as a vivid sunrise gave way to heavy rain and strong winds sweeping across the country.

Some beefy showers moving into Atlantic coastal counties this morning. Some are of hail, including this shower in County Clare a short time ago. Feeling cooler than of late in fresh westerly winds, increasing strong in the west tonight.
