lots of convection here in south Laois atm...The east of the country is the place to be today I reckon.

Light rain here with a black cloud to my West.

Reckless Abandonment

Passed lucan. Haven't seen rain like it in years. Storm building amazingly fast

highdef

Amazingly heavy shower just ended after fifteen minutes. Bang of thunder about two minutes ago to my north east. Near to Enfield and Kilcock

Plenty of thunder and lightning in Kells last half hour. One massive bang overhead. The thunder kept going for around 10 minutes, just stopped now. Could hear it overhead going around in circles with no lightning. Was weird. More flashes just now.

Lucky them showers weren't a few miles west or the people doing the Moylagh 50 mile walk would've got a right good soaking.

Nice Thunder storm just passed overhead, not spectacular but nice and some quite heavy rain, makes a gardener happy that he doesn't have to water among the midges.

First time I have seen anything like this,On the Naas Rd at L Fit hotel and facing the mountains and watched this cloud rise from the mountains..Initially I thought it was smoke from a fire.
