    I'm sorry I disappointed you all... didn't think size was an issue on this forum... :pac::pac:

    According to the met.ie forecast it looks like Saturday could see temperatures up to 20'C.... Will this mean more chances of sparks over the weekend? *fingers crossed*....

    Just trying to understand these charts (please excuse any clunky/ignorant terms)....

    The following chart shows one possible outcome for 96 hours time... i.e. next Monday-ish. Does this mean we will effectivly have a high pressure system over us with a 'gentle' Northwesterly (or SE) airflow? Will that mean that we possibly have some good stable weather for a while to come?

    For me personally, that mean good soil temperatures and continued grass growth.

    Nice dry SE breeze there in that chart, coming off the continent. Clear skys largely and temps in the high teens by day, cool at night tho. May be fog/drizzle along SE coasts, but not much.

    Love this thread!
    When i was a kid, used to be terrified of the storms!
    I was brought up in the centre of Portugal and North of Spain, and the summer storms were really scary!
    So noisy and unpredictable! And they could last for a hole day!
    The nuns in the convent used to say that it was God moving the furniture around!
    I used to go checking upstairs once the thunders subsided to see if the furniture had been moved...

    Impressive little bugger tearing up the water.

    It should stay away but wouldn't it be great for the unthinkable to happen and go against all the models.:D

    A lot of sferics just off the Kerry/Cork coast at the moment. Extreme southwestern areas could get some action in the next hour or two.

    Tuesday has the potential to bring some heavy showers following on from a fairly sharp cold front that is forecast to swing over Ireland towards the evening.

    uppers forecast to cool rapidly after the front passes later in the evening:

    which would help in beefing up showers or showery troughs later in the night: Western and Northwestern headlands especially could be at risk of a few strikes as a result. Probably will not happen like that but might be worth keeping an eye on.

    Some action in the west this morning from a showery trough off the Mayo coast. Further west, the FAX has cold frontogenesis, which is giving some strikes to its south at the moment, and should develop further as it approaches throughout the day.

    A few strikes picked up from here over the last few hours. With the land heating up now, we might get a bit of increased activity as these boys push over the Shannon valley later on today.

    Dark as hell here with heavy but short lived spurts of rain/hail. Scud racing NE'wards.

    Edit: Spurts becoming very intense, almost thunderstorm intensity but no thunder.

    is this the band of heavy/thundery showers mentioned in forecast for late afternoon or is there another band to follow?
