Interpreting the met.ie app forecasts

    Has anyone got any tips on how to use the Met.ie app intelligently?

    For example ,I have learned to anticipate that when the rain is shown to have passed there may well be drizzle in the wake .This is not shown explicitly on the chart and so I try to use common sense and notice that if rain is shown lingering in the vicinity that we might be getting the drizzle.

    On the other hand if the rain is fast moving I expect there to be a decent clearance in its wake.

    Any similar tips anyone might share so that you can read more into the charts than is actually explicitly shown? (or just how to read them intelligently)

    Btw how many models does the app rely on ?I think I have seen instances where a different model seems to insert itself by mistake for a 3 hour period as I run it through into the 4 or 5 days ahead….

    Well here in Connemara it has started raining and the radar shows an endless blanket of rain which has just started to move up over us.

    However, according to the hourly projection on met.ie there is no rain forecast. According to the regional text forecast it should be a dry evening mostly.

    I'm not sure if there's an 'intelligent' way of using that service.
