Squall line just passed though here (west Laois), very intense rain and extremely gusty wind but no lightning. Lasted all of 3 minutes!

Nothing here a few miles to your east!

Biblical rain and thunder in Navan during the past hour. I was in Gaylord's Indian restaurant and one of the thunder claps was that loud I thought something had crashed onto the roof. My wife says that she saw the glasses quiver at the bar area during each of the claps....

km79 · 03-09-2016 9:12pm

That is some lump of rain
13.7 mm in 8pm reports for Cavan

Gonzo · 03-09-2016 9:45pm

this unsettled weather is introducing much higher temperatures over the next 4 to 5 days, could be something to do with it.

tomorrow will be 16-19C but should be decently warm Monday-Thursday for time of year, part of the east could get up to 25C on Tuesday/Wednesday.

Meteorite58 · 05-09-2016 8:37pm

Some Thunder potential Weds

DOCARCH · 07-09-2016 5:36pm

From ME:

Tonight: Further outbreaks of rain, heaviest across the eastern half of the country, with the risk of thunder.

Meteorite58 · 07-09-2016 8:54pm

Was out a short time ago admiring the sunset as the cloud opened up and in flat calm conditions managed to spot a distant funnel ( camera phone only so a bit gritty ) No sferics showing up anywhere yet ( except for earlier today ), I saw over on Convective Weather that if there is it would be most likely be in the North of the country.

Things look to be pepping up across the midlands

Iancar29 · 07-09-2016 9:17pm

Yeah Id say there be some fairly hefty flash flooding in places that have the train of heavy cells going through... a few strikes also already.

There's lighting in the North West from that now, seen few faint flashes from here.

DOCARCH · 07-09-2016 9:22pm

Cluster of strikes over the north Midlands. http://brunnur.vedur.is/athuganir/eldingar/i_dag_na.html?

Clap of thunder here in north east Kilkenny, about 6/7 miles north east of the city.
Knew it was thundery before the thunder as the satellite signal went.
Rain rate was over 79mm/hr.

alchemist33 · 07-09-2016 9:43pm

Lightning in Letterkenny. Local dogs barking

Oscar Bravo · 07-09-2016 9:46pm

Met eireann 2125 update

Rain tonight heaviest in Leinster and Ulster with a risk of thunder. The rain will clear eastwards by morning with scattered showers following from the west. Mostly fresh southerly winds, but strong and gusty along the west coast. Lowest temperatures of 11 to 13 degrees.

jimmynippy · 07-09-2016 10:06pm

Hefty shower in Portarlington now with lightning every 2 or 3 minutes.

pad199207 · 07-09-2016 10:14pm

Think i just saw lightning here in Naas off to the West

JCX BXC · 07-09-2016 10:19pm

Looks like a nice cell building at Edenderry.

Dublin airport temperature up to 20c at 10pm too. Something to note. (It was 17c at 8pm)

Mez1982 · 07-09-2016 10:24pm

Edenderry getting some fairly frequent lightning and thunder with a very heavy shower of rain in the last 20 minutes. It seems to have tapered off a bit now so I think it's moving away.

Bargain_Hound · 07-09-2016 10:27pm

Sure I saw a large flash in the very far distance from clonee. Looking at lightning radar there looks to be some out the n4 west direction.

fraxinus1 · 07-09-2016 10:45pm

Thought I saw flashes to the west of Dublin. It is seriously warm outside, the breeze reminds me of the Canary Islands on a warm night!

Meteorite58 · 07-09-2016 10:46pm

Still firing away big time off the Northern coast

Just after being some very heavy thundery rain here in the very south end of kildare, saw a flash and heard a rumble after the heaviest of the rain.

ME radar suggest that the cloud is drifting eastwards. Wind has picked up somewhat too here in north county Dublin. I'd say on balance that we wont have storm unfortunately.

Trebor176 · 07-09-2016 11:08pm

Very warm and very quiet in west Dublin at the moment, bar some wind a while ago. It doesn't look like there will be much else weather-wise. I'm sure the rain, if any, for this neck of the woods would have hit by now.

07-09-2016 11:08pm

Ye lucky git, that's the heavy thundery rain that was here a while ago and brought 2 measly flashes and rumbles !

ciaran76 · 07-09-2016 11:09pm

Dublin 15 Clonee had 2 to 3 flashes in last 5 mins.
