- Thursday 24th of September – This talk will be an online talk only, delivered through Zoom. Sinéad Duffy will talk to us about Weather radar in Ireland & Europe. In her talk, Sinéad will give an overview of how weather radar works, how the data gets from the radars to the Met Éireann (and other) apps, improvements completed and planned for the Irish weather radar network, and how to check out the current rainfall situation across Europe as ‘seen’ by weather radars.

It will look ahead to the future challenges facing meteorology, climate science, and weather prediction in an increasingly complex and changing world while reflecting on the evolution of forecasting in Ireland.
