Rathdrum is a small town of about 1,586 people in Co. Wicklow, sitting at 52.9°N in a temperate climate zone. Met Office, European, American each forecast Rathdrum with their own physics, so we line all three up and flag where they disagree. Nearby towns include Rathnew, Wicklow, Arklow.

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 Rathdrum has changed since 1995

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