Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue.

Joanna Donnelly is about as much as you are going to get RTÉ to 'up' their forecasting presentation, she is a bit more personable than the rest.
Met É and RTÉ take this stuff seriously, they are the forecast of record and both are a public service. Yes, its a bit staid, but you can't say you don't get the facts, clearly and dispassionately.
Me, I'd take that any day of the week over..... "And its a very happy 107th baaaarthday to Agnes, who is going to get a few spots of rain over her house tomorrow but it'll clear up lovely for the weekend, great drying out for you Agnes!!"
Not so seriously that they can be arsed to switch on the spell checker. This weeks forecast on Met Éireann:
NATIONAL OUTLOOK
General: Cool at first, but much milder later in the week and next weekend.
Cold and dry for most of Monday night, with some frost, but rain will arrive in Atlatc
coastal counties before dawn. Lowest temperatures between 0 and +4 degrees, but values will rise later in the night. Light breezes generally but fresh southerly winds will develop on western coasts later.
Tuesday will start dry in the east. Rain in the west will spread to all parts during the day, in fresh southerly winds. Top temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees. The rain will clear early Tuesday night to isolated showers. Lows of 3 to 5 degrees, so no frost.
Wednesday will be a cool, brrezy :rolleyes: day with sunshine and showers. Top temperatures 9 tyo
12 C.
Thursday and Friday will be milder days, with moderate to fresh south to southwest winds. Rather cloudy overall with possibly some mist and drizzle on Atlantic coasts. But some bright weather too, best in the east of the couhtry :eek:. Temperatures should be in the mid teens, locally higher in any bright spells.0 -

Looking at their forecast tonight it shows Waterford in for a wet day yet Met.ie is 11am to 3 pm with Monday will be mostly cloudy with rain becoming widespread during the morning, accompanied by moderate to fresh southwesterly winds. Maximum temperatures of 13 to 15 degrees. Some dry spells may develop inland later, but many areas will remain overcast and misty, with further rain and drizzle. Hill and coastal fog also.
Met.ie were a hell of a lot better back in the 80's and 90's, even the graphics was better than today. From what i see of the forecasts here is that they all seem to have their own templates and present their way. There is no consistency and seems very amateurish sometimes. Would love to see another profession service start forecasting here in Ireland.
Wrong as there was no Met.ie in the 80s or 90s. So there.:)
Either way, the graphics are better today.
In the 80's they had a guy standing beside a map with a pointy stick.
Video above shows it. From 1985. Weather starts around 5:10. Before that Anne Doyle in her prime.
Either way, not everything is bad nowadays despite what people claim.0 -
Met.ie Irish met service whatever you want to call it, it's the same lot.Wrong as there was no Met.ie in the 80s or 90s. So there.:)

They may have used pointy sticks back then but you used to get a line(s) dividing the weather if one area was wet, another sunny etc. Lot of the time now it's guess weather in your area. MetUK yesterday evening was lot more accurate today for here than MET.ie.0 -

It's Met Eireann, not that difficult.
I'm sorry but I'm not accepting that maps in 1985 are better than what Met Eireann provide now.
Nor do I use UK Met office for Irish weather.
As you were saying..
From 1994
Well I do not rely on 1 service for my weather If I did I would one very wet person if I had followed met.ie today.0 -
