    Is there any way that we can appeal to ME to still offer the old radar? It's so clear on mobiles unlike the new one.

    I have emailed ME& asked them to retain the old radar. Maybe others might like to do the same.

    New website up

    When I go in that stupid map is there and I need to scroll down for text.

    Where's yesterday's weather.

    Im looking for that but can't find.

    Still going to have to use Ireland Weather App and Rain today for rain as only met eireann s Twitter radar is sufficient

    The rest I can live with except that map. Put a link to maps instead of that thing

    It's in the teething stage

    They won't keep that map there. Far better for mobile users to have text n maybe images with links to maps instead.

    A linkable jpeg is better than that map that freezes my phone

    Yesterday's weather is under the latest reports heading.

    Will take some getting used to but met will twig it I guess in the coming days and weeks

    Thousands use it so it needs to be simple.....and not much different than before

    The mobile version is still pointing to the old IIS mobile site so some images area available there e.g.

    On the home page. They don't have wave heights.

    I am disappointed now with no feedback taken into consideration here on the new site.

    I see the map doesn't zoom when you scroll past it, so at least that was fixed! :)

    It does for me

    They will fix all these bugs

    Have to get site up and running and then fix

    Though used to look at UK met office site when it was in it's old form and they changed it a couple of years ago and haven't been near it since as couldn't figure out new format

    Yes shame they hvnt taken on any of our feedback

    Thanks you, & short range? and European 5 day?

    This 5 day is a big step backward. Found the old one fantastic to use, this one, practically unusable :(

    Used to be able to scroll across with mouse with old one. That doesn't work.

    Yes it is a step backward. The short range is part of that on the home page if you notice the hourly intervals for the first few days.

    I use chrome sorry

    Another thing (sorry) the site has Sligo current temperature as 16c..Yes it's 16.4c but big fancy graph at bottom says 14c at 4. There's no way it will be 14c in 20 minutes
