New Met Éireann Website (beta)

MetEireann

Hi guys,

We have released the link to our new Met Éireann website, available from the link at https://beta.met.ie/

This is still a beta site and both websites will be running for a period with all products produced as normal but current site will be eventually be replaced by this new site.

New iOS and android app will be released probably around the changeover too.

This site is still under some development.
There's an issue with radar length and meteogram times at the moment, possibly due to UTC times so bear with us today!

Feedback welcome!

Great to see dual presentation of wind speeds now.

The radar is down on the new page but still ok on the old one. Looks like the Arcus weather app still uses the old radar whereas Dark Skies appears to use the new one.

It needs a Realfeel temperature. No point saying it's going to be 7C when in fact due to the windchill , it's going to be something like 0C. Other apps display Realfeel, why not Met Eireann?

Na, it's just the usual , company thinks people want something different, people go to met.ie for information not to see a newer website.

Lol. It's the least "modern and fancy" website I've seen launched within the last decade. To me it looks like they made a conscious effort not to make it look modern, or at least, certainly not fancy!

It looks fancier then the plain old site they had which I much prefer by the way.

I've been using the app with the new layout, not by choice but by necessity.

It's ridiculously buggy but it works fine. Does what it needs to do.

Yes you're correct, it was inaccessible last night when I tried it between about 9 - 945 Pm last night.

It will be gone sooner or later, I much prefer it to the clutter and nonsense of the new one just to make it look all modern and fancy.

I hope met eireann realise those who want modern and fancy are the ones who use apps for everything and probably never even seen the met.ie site.

Those of us who use the met eirann site many years want to use it because we're actually interested in the real data not crap meaningless graphics and clutter that looks a mess and takes up most of the page.

Do you think we should put it on the yellow vest wish list or just organise a march on the met office in Glasnevin ourselves?

The 5 min refresh on the radar is useful if you are trying to track the progress of showers etc

ok false alarm but it was off air for a short while the new one was reachable.

I still dread they will discontinue it.

I find a lot less detail and accuracy with Netweather in the Greater Dublin area. If you live within this region (and we're talking over 1 million people), then Met Eireann radar is most certainly a lot more accurate.

In what way compared to ME?

personal preference more than anything, i prefer the netweather interface over me, i also think the app shows a little more detail than me's as well, but ive no idea what they are doing differently

Are you talking about

https://www.netweather.tv/?

but it does not really matter because

Netradar, and all other radar sources, use data from the UKMO which does not include Dublin

Where does Net weather get its radar images from?

Great question, I'd love to know myself, but I suspect it's from the same sources as met eireann, but they've just included some programming wizardry to their data to highlight certain radar reflections, I could be wrong of course.
