Macroom is a small town of about 3,765 people in Co. Cork, sitting at 51.9°N in a temperate climate zone. Met Office, European, American each forecast Macroom with their own physics, so we line all three up and flag where they disagree. Nearby towns include Millstreet, Dunmanway, Bandon.

We grade every model against the weather that actually happened, so you can see which forecast model is most accurate in Ireland before you trust any single number.

How the weather around Macroom has changed since 1995

Macroom sits in the same roughly 50 km square of NASA's reanalysis as Cork. That square shows no clear change in temperature between 1995-2004 and 2015-2024. See the full 30-year picture on the Cork page.

The CheckWeather Score blends temperature, wind and rain accuracy, each measured against ERA5 (the recorded weather) over the last 30 days across 60 cities. Lower error means a higher score.

The models often agree on temperature and still split on rain, and rain is usually what decides whether a plan survives. A wide rain range means the shower is genuinely uncertain, not that the forecast is wrong.
