Nothing wrong with the forecast for today. Today was never outlined to be a good day here in Ireland with rain or showers and cooler conditions in the forecast.

The best of the weather looks to be Saturday to about Monday or maybe Tuesday. Next week was starting to look promising but the models have backed off the idea of warm and dry for next week with the Atlantic regaining control from about Tuesday. At least we should have 2 to 3 nice days over the weekend and on Monday.

The forecast was not 10 hours of non stop heavey rain with highs of 12°c..

Storm 10 · 27-05-2021 8:13pm

Started raining in Galway around 10 am still raining back garden flooded

Oscar Bravo · 27-05-2021 8:57pm

After a day of rain here near Castlebar the sun has appeared just as its beginning to set. Nice day ahead in the west tomorrow.

appledrop · 27-05-2021 9:49pm

Forecast is not good in NCD for tomorrow. Rain all day and highs of only 11 - 12 degrees.

I hope the forecast is wrong.

I went to work in my lovely white summer trousers today and I wasn't the only one!

By lunchtime we all had our coats on and were trying to avoid the muck from the puddles!

sporina · 27-05-2021 10:27pm

i don't think it had stopped raining since am in Cork City today - its still at it :eek:

Yes indeed Oscar Bravo. Got a quick snap of it earlier. Lovely to see the setting sun find that chink of a gap beneath the edge of that weather front after a dreary day.
Recorded 11mm of rain here today near Castlebar. Hoping for another evening soon like what we got here in Central Mayo yesterday which was one of the nicest in a long time.

appledrop · 28-05-2021 12:23am

Glad it cleared up for some in West.

Still raining here in Dublin.

Timmy O Toole · 28-05-2021 6:18am

Still raining in limerick, did not stop once since 12pm yesterday. Disgusting

Still raining here aswell in NCD. So much for their forecast of more settled weather from Thursday onwards, yeah right.

I'm not holding out much hope now for the 'warm' weekend that was predicted earlier in week.

28-05-2021 7:41am

Raining all night in Arklow
Never heavy,just steady but mounting up

Oneiric 3 · 28-05-2021 7:54am

First morning in what must be months where there wasn't that all too familiar chill in the air.

OldRio · 28-05-2021 9:12am

Rain in Leitrim, again.

Thelonious Monk · 28-05-2021 9:17am

Rainy af in Dublin and looks like the sun wont be out tomorrow either, Sunday still looking decent.

pauldry · 28-05-2021 9:50am

Clousy in Sligo

Phone App said it would stay like this all day
but Met Eireann had sun.

Lets see whos right

Mantis Toboggan · 28-05-2021 10:06am

Damp morning in Naas but it's slowly improving and brightening up, I'd say it will be a nice afternoon.

sporina · 28-05-2021 10:08am

grey and dull here in Cork but no rain.. yet... I think some is on the way.. but then hopefully it will be be dry for a few days

I listen to the Met Eireann forecast just before 8am on the radio every day. A complete waste of time.

appledrop · 28-05-2021 10:35am

11 degrees here in Dublin and still raining.

It's miserable. A great start to the ' heatwave"

I want to see MM do his speech this evening out in the rain, while taking about outdoor summer dining until July.

Oscar Bravo · 28-05-2021 10:56am

A dry morning here in Castlebar with good sunshine and just light winds.

Thelonious Monk · 28-05-2021 11:00am

At least it's still Spring technically, I don't see anything remarkable in forecasts on the way but hopefully it starts to feel like summer at some stage in June and stays that way for a while

That’s the hard part! A sustained spell like 2013, 2014 and 2018 would be most welcome

Yeah I mean it's unlikely but one can but dream

pauldry · 28-05-2021 11:42am

Looks like phone app was right (as it is about 60% of time)
as opposed to Met Eireann (for here which is probably less than 50%)

Phone app has tomorrow cloudy until afternoon possibly 1pm
Met Eireann similar so universal agreement that there "might" be a sunny afternoon here.

Both have a wet misty morning though.:(

sporina · 28-05-2021 12:15pm

my iphone app is always way off, ME app not much better.. YR.NO is the most accurate I find..

pauldry · 28-05-2021 1:05pm

Yes the Norwegian Met Office know more about our weather than our own.

Gonzo · 28-05-2021 1:36pm

This band of rain which moved in from the west is very slow moving over the Irish sea with higher pressure of our east, so it's likely to remain damp across some eastern areas till tomorrow. Tomorrow to Tuesday looks decent enough although cloud could persist at times but temperatures should get to the high teens in many areas, possibly reaching 20 or 21C in one or two sunny spots inland.

pauldry · 28-05-2021 1:47pm

Mt Dillon probably

US2 · 28-05-2021 2:05pm

Another rotten day so far

Hopefully today is the last of the chilly days for a while. The outlook for June is looking very mixed but at least the temperatures look like staying average to slightly above normal for the forseeable future, we seem just about done with the very cool to cold temperatures of the past 2 months.

Mimon · 28-05-2021 2:21pm

Any chance of the sun breaking out in the midlands by day's end? Met E has it cloudy, was hoping for a chink of sun to sit out with beer in hand.

OldRio · 28-05-2021 2:24pm

Still raining. The ground is utterly sodden.

pauldry · 28-05-2021 2:28pm

Yes app was even more right than Met Eireann. It had rain in afternoon drifting Westwards.

Its now raining after a bright morning.

I hope you're right. Had plenty sunshine over the last 2 months but can't remember felling warm at any stage.

Just started raining again now, the grass is going to grow like mad over the week

Thelonious Monk · 28-05-2021 2:35pm

Had a lovely run in the wind and rain at lunch, hands numb from the cold! At least travel may be allowed from July, this is just ridiculous.

Drizzle in East Clare it was a cloudy but dry and warm morning in East Clare..

Run done, luckily no gloves needed !!

pauldry · 28-05-2021 3:12pm

rain has stopped and temperature has SHOT up to 14c

Sun in whiter clouds now so you can see it at least from time to time

namloc1980 · 28-05-2021 3:13pm

Dull and grey all day today but dry thankfully.

Thelonious Monk · 28-05-2021 4:33pm

Every time I check they seem to be downgrading temps and amount of sun for the coming days

Oscar Bravo · 28-05-2021 4:55pm

Feeling warm here in the west now . Newport 19 degrees at 4pm

SouthWesterly · 28-05-2021 5:41pm

There's been a bright thing in the sky all day and my face feels warm. No idea what it is

Yea I'm not impressed at all.

Met eireann going on all week about 21 degrees on Sunday and now app on my phone only showing max of 16 degrees now for Sat + Sun in Dublin and it was spot on about weather today.

Grrrrrrrr not happy.

It was nice here yesterday morning, but rain started in afternoon and basicially hasn't really stopped since.

I'm keeping the fingers crossed for better weather this weekend!

appledrop · 28-05-2021 6:04pm

Surprise surprise MM going for indoor speech, look at rte reporter out in rain.

Yes they are excellent for the amounts of rain they forecast. Last 3 times theyv only been a couple of mm out.

Same here. It started at 12.30 yesterday afternoon and it's just stopped. Awful.

Tyrone212 · 28-05-2021 7:10pm

Very dull evening. No sun today.
