For the same reason they don't show the weather for France: it's not part of the UK. Southern Ireland is it's own country, Northern Ireland still falls under Great Britain

Actually BBC, ITV and Channel 4 do not show the weather for the Republic of Ireland. Sky News does. It is less about nations and more who the channels' markets are. In the case of the comercial stations, the channels get no more income from Irish viewers of advertisements, therefore no incentive to mention the Republic. As for the BBC their government remit is to the United Kingdom, the Republic has RTÉ. Sky News broadcasts to the Republic and even has Sky News Ireland bulletins hence why they will mention the Republic in weather reports.

Because Ireland isn't part of the United Kingdom, whereas Northern Ireland is. (It's actually called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.)

Northern Ireland is part of the UK and Southern Ireland isn't.

Because the Republic of Ireland not part of the UK - it is a foreign country, just like France or Spain.

Because the magic elves make the weather in southern Ireland (Republic of Ireland) with their lucky charms

Because otherwise they would be UK and Republic of Ireland weather programmes, which would completely ruin your question.

maybe because Southern Ireland isn't part of the UK? anymore than looking for Spanish weather in China wouldn't give you the results you wanted either
