Very Warm, Thunderstorms, Flash flooding - Friday through weekend

Kermit.de.frog · 2014-07-15 04:10:14

On Thursday an area of instability will approach the country from the south after some very warm and humid air embeds itself over the country. Incidentally this brings nice beach and garden weather at times with temperatures in to the mid twenties but also the real threat of some potentially severe storms. The main focus…

Here is 20 seconds of the thunder rain from Friday mornings storm around 430am near Arklow that I put on Dropbox from my phone.
it's dark so turn the sound up.The first lightning I saw that night was about 355 am to the south of me.
The last was nearer to 7am,so quite a long event down here.
You will hear the very heavy rain first.
You will also notice there is no gap between the lightning and this particular thunderclap meaning the storm is overhead.
videos don't capture the real life volume of thunder.

Depending what you watch this on you may need a plug in I am not sure.

Anyhow enjoy

Seen that storm yesterday evening from a few miles away, some nice CG flashes from it .
Looked like a really impressive cell, that was until i seen the monster over France on meteox.
Ballyhaise recorded 44.8 mm so some places may have got 2 inches from it.

Here's a screen shot of a flash, will try and see later if there's anything worth putting on a video.

It's been fun but the time for this thread has passed. Might be another one for both heat and more storms later in the week. Fingers crossed!:) Very good week ahead.

Got this video of the lightning off the Wexford coast here in Naas. Was very bright considering the distance!
It's taken with a camera phone so bear with the focus is a bit off.
Lightning increases in frequency after 1:15
