Another distant rumble there. Everything's very calm and quiet. Hopefully the calm before the storm..

1st rumble Dublin 2

There we go!

Distant but quite long rumble of thunder. Rain has started too.

North county dublin is overcast and sky to the south is dark. Breeze has picked up slightly too and the temps feel a little cooler than earlier. Interestingly, it's very hard to pick out an individual cloud or their heights. I've seen this just before some apocalyptic thunderstorms before (cue Dublin '85 and '86 )

Despite what I said earlier, I can now see the back of CB and I'm under the edge of the anvil. It looks like a beast but we're being spared it's fury here.

It looks quite bright with blue sky behind it too
