RTÉ Provide New Marine Weather Outlook Service

6th August 2009

RTÉ and Met Éireann have joined forces for a new weekly Marine Outlook weather broadcast on RTÉ television. Friday night is the timeslot, after the Late News on RTÉ 1 and will be useful to the recreational boating community in plannng weekend activities, regattas, courses, etc. Met Éireann say the outlook will cover the next five or six days: however, it should not be considered a forecast.

Their latest forecast, including all developments subsequent to the broadcast of the TV outlook, are of course included in the routine Sea Area Forecast broadcast every 6 hours on RTÉ Radio 1 and by Irish Coast Guard on Marine VHF. This is, and remains, the definitive service for mariners.
