What is the weather today in Ireland?

• Met Éireann’s national forecast notes a wet start in many areas, with rain extending northeastwards this morning (Met Éireann (Ireland’s national meteorological service)).
• Rain will clear east Ulster, then frequent showers follow (Met Éireann (Ireland’s national meteorological service)).
• RTÉ Weather reports scattered showers with sunny intervals, and showers becoming isolated later (RTÉ Weather (Ireland’s national public service broadcaster)).

Temperature and precipitation by region

Highest temperatures today range from 16 to 19 degrees Celsius, according to Met Éireann (Ireland’s national meteorological service). The same range is confirmed by RTÉ Weather (Ireland’s national public service broadcaster).

• Ulster: rain clearing early, then showers (Met Éireann (Ireland’s national meteorological service))
• Munster and Connacht: sunny spells and isolated showers (Met Éireann (Ireland’s national meteorological service))
• Dublin: similar mix, moderate westerly breeze (RTÉ Weather (Ireland’s national public service broadcaster))

UV index and wind conditions

The UV index today is moderate, so sun protection is advisable during any sunny spells. Winds are westerly, moderate in strength — gusty near coasts but not severe (Met Éireann (Ireland’s national meteorological service)). No wind warnings are currently active.

What this means: The moderate UV and breeze make it a comfortable day for most outdoor activity — as long as you’re prepared for scattered showers.

Is there a red weather warning in Ireland today?

Current Met Éireann warnings status

No red weather warning is active today, according to Met Éireann (Ireland’s national meteorological service). The service issues colour‑coded warnings — yellow, orange, red — for wind, rain, snow, fog, and thunderstorms. Red is reserved for the most severe conditions that pose a risk to life and property. Today’s forecast does not meet that threshold.

You can check the latest warnings on Met Éireann (Ireland’s national meteorological service) warnings page.

Why this matters: For travellers and locals, the absence of a red warning means no official emergency messaging is in place — but always monitor updates if conditions change.

What is the 14-day weather forecast for Ireland?

Extended outlook from Met Éireann

Met Éireann’s National Outlook describes the coming period as unsettled, with rain or showers each day and breezy conditions at times. The outlook notes it will become cooler too (Met Éireann national forecast).

• Wednesday night: cloudy and unsettled with showers or longer spells of rain.
• Thursday: cool and blustery, widespread showers merging into longer rain at times; highs of 12–16°C; fresh to strong gusty westerlies.
• Friday: dry sunny spells for most in the morning, showers extending east through the day; Friday night lows of 7–10°C.
• Weekend: uncertainty remains, but rain and showers likely at times; daytime temperatures in the mid to high teens at best (Met Éireann national forecast).

14-day forecast for Dublin and Cork

For Dublin, the 14‑day outlook from Met Éireann national forecast suggests continued showers and cooler conditions. Cork’s forecast is broadly similar — scattered showers and temperatures peaking in the mid‑teens.

The pattern: No prolonged dry spell is signalled. If you’re planning a trip to the west or northwest, expect more frequent showers, while the south and east may see slightly more sunshine between the rain.

Timeline: Weather outlook for the next two weeks

• Today (3 June 2026): Sunny spells with isolated showers, moderate westerly breeze (Met Éireann (Ireland’s national meteorological service)).
• Next 3 days: Cool and blustery with widespread showers (Met Éireann national forecast).
• 14‑21 day outlook: Continued unsettled pattern per Met Éireann (Met Éireann national forecast).

The catch: The further out the timeline, the lower the confidence. The 14‑day outlook gives a trend, not a certainty — great for planning looser itineraries, less useful for exact scheduling.
