You base your weather facts on what you see on the news? Ireland and the UK have one of the highest number of tornadoes per square mile in the world.

Ah, you're a troll. Never mind.

There was a small tornado in Clonee back in 2005 iirc.

Deluge in Greystones at the moment 8.55pm. Haven't heard any thunder, but wouldn't be surprised if it's about.

Have a look at the sat 24 animation. You can see a cell explode up through the low cloud deck over Kildare.

42.2mm so far - what a day!

Some thunder & lightning around 12, then biblical rain.

Said this once already this summer & hopefully never again "never saw rain like this in Ireland"

At one point (about 12.45) station reported 190mm/h

Very localised - love the weather

Very surprised there was very little lightning today despite the intensity of the downpours.
The Cell that hit the Naas area had a 288m/hr rate, which ive never seen before

It was a lovely morning until this lot arrived over Avoca at precisely 12.45
