Convective/Thunderstorm Discussion: Spring/Summer 2016

Hopefully Dublin gets a taste of what the midlands got today

Turn on your radios on AM/MW and you will hear some crackling, sounds like someone switching on and off a light switch only it lasts longer and is a lot more pronounced depending on how close it is.

Heard it on the way home listening to the BBC on AM in the car.

Will it hit North Dublin

In South Dublin looking out to the sea you may be able to see it now.

aircraft having to avoid the storms. www.liveatc.net just type in EIDW for the feed then

Looks like Dublin could get some action or at least the coast. Nothing here unfortunately.

Big drops here at the moment. Thunder seems to be out at sea

Looks like its going to miss Dublin city and hit around Malahide/Skerries. Hopefully we still get some rain though.

lightening is lighting up a very ominous sky towards the sea. Looks like Howth might take a direct hit
