New RTE weather presentation graphics

It would be nice if Met Éireann would post up up some forecasts on YouTube like the UK Met Office do.

Found tonight very bad can't get my head around the counties then showing showers can't make them out going so fast , watched BBC N ireland so much better on fronts and showers not rushed showers going slow so you can get a grip on them just can't watch ME anymore its a disaster.

Are the placenames in the provincial weather views being selected by AI ??

For example currently a place a few miles from Cork city called 'Cloghphilip' in County Cork being shown, which I had never heard of, despite having reason to be familiar with the general locality. (see attached from last night)

Cloghphilip isn't even a small village but a small townland. It is near the well known tourism location of Blarney.

I can't take to it at all. The old one was much easier to follow.

On the place names, I'm in the second biggest town in Galway by I don't think it's ever been featured. I've seen a place a few miles down the road with a few hundred inhabitants coming up twice. Not that I care but it seems very random.

As with most things in the public service the concept of continuous improvement doesn't seem to exist, it was probably a once-and-done project outsourced to a consultancy that we're now stuck with until the next renewal comes up.

The same happened with the website where people said to give them leeway to fix things, yet years later there's still nonsense like the forecast for Dublin airport being hard coded at the top of the current observations page or the fact the interactive map always starts zoomed in on Galway regardless of where you live

Prefer their charts showing the fronts get a fair idea of the weather from them does me anyway and of course more detail always available here.

Showing Ballykissangel will win it.

Just seen it there. Far far better to watch.

Indeed….. I'm in Limk City and we had 22.4 mm of rain since midnight. Very heavy rain all morning so I'd say a yellow warning was well warranted.

I was fearing that too. Maybe some of them read this.

New RTÉ weather graphics really really poor in demonstrating rain/sleet/snow across the northern half of the country. New graphics are so poor.

I get the feeling the powers that be in ME don't really care. The last few nights, I notice the map of Ireland at the beginning of the forecast is blurred or out of focus. Those other graphics aren't very good either. Overdone with the textures and way too much information crammed into the presentation. Others do it better.

Agreed. Much easier to watch and overall a better presentation.
