About IrishWeather.ie
IrishWeather.ie is a free, fast weather site for Ireland. It puts a live rain radar, wind, temperature and cloud maps, current conditions, an hourly forecast and a 7-day forecast for any town on one page, with no app to install and no account needed. It also covers Northern Ireland, Great Britain and the rest of Europe.
What you'll find

- Forecast maps of temperature, wind and gusts, cloud and rain across Ireland, the UK and Europe.

- A Sports tab (irishweather.ie/sports) that rates the week's forecast winds for sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, golf, cycling and more, with the wind each sport can take.

Where the data comes from
Forecasts, observations and warnings for Ireland come from Met Éireann, the Irish national meteorological service. Forecasts for Great Britain come from the Met Office and MET Norway, and the forecast maps from Open-Meteo. The site checks for new data every few minutes, so what you see is always the latest issued forecast. Full credits are at the bottom of every page.
IrishWeather.ie is an independent site and is not run by or connected with Met Éireann or the Met Office. Always check official warnings before making safety decisions.
