    DMI seems to be picking up on a very shallow trough line that may pass over sometime late tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow evening:

    which could pep up shower activity for a while. Should it pan out as forecast it could bring a couple of strikes to some parts. Might be worth keeping an eye on, but then again, maybe not...

    Dosen't look like much on the radar but the heavens have just opened big time. 49.0mm/ph reached in less than a minuite.

    Another wave of severe rain just starting up again. Very intense. No lightning to report (congrats Oscar and John Mac)

    Edit: stopped. 2.2mm fell.

    Had a few flashes here in north Galway about an hour ago, few nice claps of thunder too, is it me or does the met radar seem a little odd? Has the precip a little too far west, typical met eireann :P

    Should be interesting later tonight as some very cold mid-upper temperatures move in along the west coast, with -30°C and -50°C 500 and 300hPa levels, respectively. Low-level warm advection, plus some moderate deep layer shear should make for an interesting night. Maybe deserves a new thread?!

    Yes, there's something wrong with it. Maybe it was struck by lightning! :pac:

    Things were a lot quiter than I though overnight, with just some light to moderate showers along the western half of the country, but the Valentia 06Z sounding shows marked cooling at upper levels since 00Z, so hopefully this will allow for deeper convection to get going this morning, deep enough for thunderstorms, though deep layer shear has reduced, so storms may be short-lived.

    Looks thundery... but nothing... :(

    This cloud let go of some heavy rain when it passed overhead at 15:45h. This picture shows it out over the end of runway-25 @ Cork airport. (camera facing SSE)..
