Where is " Storm 10 " now ?

Went out as far as Claregalway saw or heard nothing so turned back, too far East to go after it

If you run the met.ie radar, it looks like they might be joining together.

An excellent idea! Thank you.

Would you care to explain that now to my other half?

You're comparing beer drinking temperatures as part of a scientific experiment!

Some crazy storms in northern France at the moment, rain rates off the charts at over 250mm/hr and 14000 sferics in the past two hours. Looks to be headed in my general direction so an interesting night ahead, camera at the ready!

Met Eireann said all areas were at risk there was no where in the forecast where they excluded Galway

Response slightly delayed...
Depends on how you read things but this is what I was referring to. Galway was not really in the scope at all.

Yep, French met service have an Orange alert for a good portion of the West coast (from Bordeaux) northwards. It hit 37c today in parts!

I can hear thunder to the east of me, just started to pee here, looks like Leitrim will get a good show.

Made it to 32C here and experiencing some of the most oppressive heat I've ever felt at the moment, drenched in sweat just sitting in the garden

Spaceship incoming now



Looks like it might just miss London to the east but a long night ahead yet

The way that storm grows in the time frame is unreal. Got be a super storm by the time it reaches London?

I see another storm forming north of Bordeaux too. That's growing into a beast heading north.

I have the brother in London warned to have his camera ready.
His girlfriend was getting a bit worried last night with the lightning.

Anyone watching that cell moving up through Longford/Sligo now?
Some nice radar returns.

There's a live eviction at the big brother house in london over the next 2 hours. It could make for interesting television.

Some serious claps of thunder in Castlebar now with fork lightning

Level 2 over London tomorrow Nada over here



A level 1 and level 2 were issued for England, France and BeNeLux for large hail, severe wind gusts, excessive precipitation and to a lesser extent for tornadoes.

I happened to be out and about in Dromahair around the time you posted that... the sky was very dark and heavy looking to the east but it either moved off or decayed very quickly, as when I drove out of the village a bit to see what was happening but the sky was lightening back to blue.... not a hint of lightning to be seen either, no thunder either... so no joy for me. Its raining now but its not the torrents I had been expecting from the skies earlier. It feels pretty close.

Sort of a trick question. Yes. But we do accept various CG configurations and observations.

Of that im aware sir !!

There is a massive rain cell over Wales at the moment. Wondering if this cell will continue nw and skirt of northern ire or will it turn West towards the dub region

just in case people missed some spectacular images

That was our storm and they nicked it typical... Anyway I'm hopeful of getting some welsh imports later on.

Not jealous. At all. :mad:

Bucketing down in North Tipp right now, few miles south of Nenagh. Judging by radar this developed slowly and will probably be equally slow to move on or dissipate. Possibilities for lots more later on too, I'd say

seanaway

West Waterford extreme humidity. No sign of a good storm to break it up though

leahyl

Just had what I think is the heaviest shower I have ever experienced in Cork City - it was bucketing down for at least 15 mins and it's starting again now
