MET Éireann, the Irish National Meteorological Service, has announced that its new weather radar system at Shannon Airport is now operational.
The new radar system will provide more accurate rainfall information to the weather forecasters and the rainfall radar maps on Met.ie and the Met Éireann app.
The new system is part of ongoing plans by the service to improve wether prediction.
Met Éireann will now be able to issue more precise and timely weather forecasts and warnings for significant weather events, for the benefit of the public, emergency services, and the aviation, maritime, farming and other sectors.
