Yes indeed thanks Bert! I forgot myself about that facility! Research it is good for anyone who has the facility and who has not tried it. Think Joan Ann introduced us to it on the list, oh a little while ago now.

You can get a good three-five day forecast by going to www.rte.ie/weather.

RTÉ do provide daily weather information, though I'm not sure at the moment whether on their main news Website itself. . One can access it through Aertel, Aertel Mobile, or get their weather email - just popped into my head now, that - or in their daily news email compilation. Perhaps something like what the BBC do regarding long-range or 5-day forecasts, , as Tim describes, may be adequate; but then, the BBC enerally - even on TV and radio - give more detailed daily weather forecasts than our broadcasters. However, I think that in general we do get adequate info for our daily weather forecasts. I went looking at the time of the first severe weather outbreak, but was disappointed with the paucity of textual info for the 5-day forecasts on www.meteireann.ie . ----- Original Message ----- From: <NicholasKealy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2011 5:00 PM Subject: [vicsireland] Re: Met Eireann's 5-day forecast not accessible. Hi there, I am only trying to be devils advocate here. I am aware its important to some but I suppose in fairness they do have to know that if they need to make ajustments to the way they provide information its going to be used and maxamised. Something I haven't checked out but do RTÉ provide forcasts?
