Overview
- Freedom-of-information records report dozens of public complaints in 2025, with spikes during Storm Éowyn and periods of heavy snowfall.
- Entries range from missed local showers and soaked washing in Donabate to frustrations over pronunciation, removed moon-phase details, and perceived east–west bias.
- One complainant, an HSE employee, sought an upgrade from Status Orange to red to secure pay when travel to work was not possible.
- A rogue Bluesky account impersonated Met Éireann and posted racist content; the service confirmed the profile was fake and said it was reported to the platform.
- In responses quoted by media, the agency underscores its remit to monitor, analyse and predict weather and to communicate via its website, app, social channels and media outreach.
