I'm in Lucan and it seems to be heading this way, rain started there for a second and stopped again...

Excellent rumbles and flashes in Blanch for the last five minutes, the downpour is easing now. Was a pretty good storm while it lasted!

Some strong returns on met radar over louth / north dublin. More rolling in from meath to dublin.

Very heavy rain in Clondalkin for the past 20 minutes and a few rumbles, easing up now I think

Not just rain either,- pretty big hailstones by Irish standards. I was watching them break up as they hit the skylights.

Spoke too soon, pelting down in the city center now with a few decent claps of thunder.

bennyx_o

Raining quite heavily in Killester now, no thunder/lightning as of yet though

Agent Oso

In Tallaght village heard a big clap about an hour ago! Could we be in for a night of it? The sky is fierce grey!

Supercell

Nowt in Ringsend, bah!, just a light/moderate shower

jimmynokia

Clouds look dark that way and dark clouds coming in so the night is young

Agent Oso

Would be a nice friday night if it picked up:)

jimmynokia

raining heavy in Dublin 22 now could be some action

Lads, there is already a Thunderstorm thread running! Just because it's dublin it doesnt mean you should start a new thread for 1 thundery shower.

Perhaps there should be a Dublin weather forum.

Mods please close this thread, make them use the other one.

Are you for real?

This thread will die a death as soon as it;s over .. ie. now.

You'd rather have the other thread cluttered with 3 pages of Dublin storm talk? Fair enough :rolleyes:

I started the thread because when it kicked off I thought it was going to be a bit of a unique IRISH weather event, nothing to do with it being Dublin, it just happened to be where I was located. :rolleyes:

my gym is at liffey valley, the flashes were directly there, whole gym staring out.

I was enjoying this thread until beasterly threw a spanner into the works!
Mods give out to beasterly for thread spoiling!

Hope you managed to sleep after your whole night being fúcked up. Seemed like a pretty traumatic event discovering this thread.

Lads, firstly keep the language down a notch.

There was no real need for a separate thread as there is a summer thunderstorm watch thread running, so in future let's use it for any reports. But no harm done, the thread has run its course and nobody died.

However, the anti-dublin sentiment running throughout some threads here does get a little tiresome at times. Lets talk about weather, and only weather. Any regional or social issues you have, please contact your local TD.
