Sitting here in a caravan on the old head of kinsale with flashes about every 10 seconds and impressive thunder. This is my sort of weather!

Check it out, this has been happening in Cork City every so often. Light enough thunder

Seems we are just seeing the tail end of it in the city! Hoping it moves.up a bit

SeaBreezes

I'm looking east to the old head saw an impressive forked lightening that direction! Hope it was out to sea!

A plane just came through fairly low over the old head en route to cork airport, got a burst of amazing flashes. Id say its an impressive sight from up there.

I'm in Shanbally near Carrigaline and ive never seen so much lightning. It's moving slowly west along the coast.

Looks like a major electrical storm over London now.Plenty of videos being put up on Twitter.

Clonmel1000

Impressive enough light display over the mountains south of Clonmel all sheet lightening but quite active and regular. No thunder and only a few drops of rain about 30mns ago.

SweetCaliber

My inner child is out, never seen anything like this before, a light show in Tramore, around 3 - 5 seconds max between each flash. Sky is like a strobe light!

Had a fantastic view of the storms off the south coast about 40 minutes ago, from the vantage point of a plane. Flashes every couple of seconds.

Cork Lass

Rain getting heavy now in Rochestown and the thunder is getting louder. Plenty sheets of lightning. Worth staying awake for.

SleetAndSnow

A fork just hit a bit down from me what a fright

hawkwing

Lots of sheet lightening and the odd rumble also to the south,5 miles north of Slievenamon

I'm not kidding, I think they are filming a new Thor film in the skies over Carrigaline. It's absolutely insane here. Thunder is fantastic!

Good light show in Cork now

SleetAndSnow

Massive bang in Cork skies there. This is unreal.

sunbabe08

Either I'm just easily impressed or we just haven't seen a thunderstorm in cork in ages but this storm is impressive

And it's now lashing

Cork Lass

I’m loving it

SleetAndSnow

13 seconds of straight thunder caught on video. Unreal.

If you want to experience what's happening.

As I type this a electrical fork just went across the sky and another 13 seconds. This is crazy.

Edit: and another! This is crazy loud , like it's right above us. Dogs going crazy.
