People are very complacent when I comes to hailstones, cars were sliding all over the place and people were still driving over 100kmh on the Motorway this morning.

A lot of spot flooding around this evening.

Just seen lightening looking west from Cork City..Ballincollig area maybe?

Incredible 24 hour thunderstorm over north mayo on the netweather radar.

Thunder and lightning currently in West Clare, some hail accumulations also.

Samaris

Flash of lightning, lights went out and crack of thunder within a second or so there southwest of Galway. There was a flicker a few hours ago, but it was a long way off then.

Bad hail coming out from Galway a couple of hours ago though.

Lightning very close by, nice long rumble followed by driving hailstones.

There was a clap of thunder here yesterday afternoon that was so loud that it shook the house. Almost jumped out of my skin.

Some big house rattling thunder and lightning here near Tralee at around 04.00. Heavy showers of hail and rain throughout the day mixed with nice sunshine.

Potential for thunderstorms popping up from early morning through tomorrow, looks like along the Atlantic Seaboard and possibly spreading inland as the air mass changes to polar.

Good Cape values and and decent DLS with the passage of an upper trough with very cold uppers giving good lapse rates. Should be impressive cloudscapes with the chance of hail.

Lightening followed quickly by very loud thunder. NW Clare

Major power outage around mayo following lightning this morning. Over 20,000 at one stage. Ballina area worst hit.

Meteorite58

Plenty of sferics showing up today and no end of hail showers. During the early hours had some big convective gusts in squally hail/ rain showers getting up to near 70 km/h here near Tralee.

Thunder and lightning here in south Kerry the last 30 minutes or so. Made putting the kids to bed a traumatic affair for all concerned.

Potential Squall line developing along the front of that band of rain coming in from the west...

Meteorite58

Cluster showing up around Dingle Bay ( this might only show about a third or a quarter of strikes )

Meteorite58

Thunderstorm / hail potential from the early hours into tomorrow along Atlantic coastal counties and perhaps a few moving inland .

M.T. Cranium

Looks thundery near Limerick on the radar now.

Meteorite58

Detected sfeics so far, heard a few rumbles here near Tralee a short time ago but did was not detected. Great towering clouds about today.

That area of lightning wont reach land. Its a very active front approaching the West Coast so i would expect sporadic sferics.
