South Irish Sea looking interesting now too!

Heard a low rumble of thunder here a few mins ago but it's over Wicklow around Baltinglass and not coming this way.

Looked like it was your direction alright. OH saw flash/fork over Three Rock...I presumed it hit that mast as the radio went off just a few seconds before I heard the thunder.

LEIN

Heavy rain here at the moment.

fraxinus1

Rain intensifying here in west Dublin. Gone very dark again.... seeing or hearing nothing yet though.

Met Eireann have put up a weather advisory at 7.25pm warning of thunderstorms this evening for the East coast.

Oscar Bravo

Met Eireann 1925 update

Weather advisory for Dublin, Kildare, Wexford, Wicklow and Meath

Very heavy thunderstorms moving North this evening.

LEIN

Nothing special in the end. Looks like a few more heavy showers are coming my way.

fraxinus1

Very disappointing yet again. Heavy rain but no sparks in west Dublin. This was perhaps the last chance this summer of a thundery outbreak unless the remainder of August or early September delivers some continental heat. I haven't witnessed any thunderstorm activity at all this year.

DOCARCH

All looking quiet now on the lightning detectors.

JCX BXC

Dublin Airport TAF updated to a 30% probability of thunderstorm rain between 7-9pm

That's because Met Eireann put up the weather advisory for thunderstorms

Fri showing a lot of potential, possibly quite blustery and squally at times I would think.

Poster's thoughts on this coming in and lighting up?'

Or will it come inland at all and continue up the irish sea.

pad199207

The band is stalling through Leinster and backing westwards and redeveloping again. Could be very wet night ahead of eastern counties.

I just followed the Rainfall radar animation and it looks like it's tracking east to me.

Looks like no more sferics for tonight.
Just rain.

met.ie have downplayed the rain tonight and tomorrow, the heavy thundery rain is turned to rain only.
