Devastating news that about the passing of Peter O'Donnell. I learned much from him over the past 16 years, since i set up IWO with @BadWxStations and others. A rare gentleman who was profoundly knowledgeable of all things meteorological. RIP Roger (Peter) facebook.com/IrishWeatherOnl…

Not before time. A more localised weather warning system is being developed by Met Éireann. Likely to be introduced before the end of the year.
Met Éireann says it will replace countywide warnings with a new localised system from late 2026. In response to my PQ, it said it is developing a polygon-based model dividing the country into sub-county zones, allowing warnings to target specific areas rather than entire counties

Higher than average rainfall to come for Atlantic coastal counties over the next two weeks, but normal totals are likely across the eastern half of Ireland through the period.

There was some brief sunshine in parts of east Munster and south Leinster today, but rain is already pushing into the southwest and will extend countrywide. The effects of ongoing rainfall can be seen in the silted waters of the River Suir and Waterford Harbour. Images Copernicus

Not now GFS. The US model hints at a cold blast of weather during the first week of the meteorological spring. Based on computer model performances of winter 2025-26, the confidence in such an outcome is low.
