    The radar on the new ME site has been displaying intermittently for about five weeks now at least. No mention of an imminent fix that I can see anyway.

    The old site is working ok - for however long it remains in situ.

    It was up to 15.00 about a minute ago and now back to 14.50 even with refreshes.

    Back to 15.00

    Up to 15.15 within a minute.

    The much-maligned Shannon radar is beginning to splutter again. It has missed a few frames earlier today and it's down again tonight for the past 30 mins. approx.

    I suppose it's been working now for several months without interruption since it's last makeover, so probably overdue another little wobble any time now.

    Basically it's past it's 'use by' date and on it's last legs. It's had several major repairs over the past 5-10 yrs and still proving unreliable. There are plans to replace the country's weather radar infrastructure but God knows when that might happen.
