There is a circulation just to the west of Dublin moving ENE. We need to be on the western and southern side for real potential cell development and have that wind more off shore.

This could be the case in time this evening.


Right now the sky has a wasted look. That can change quickly though!

RIGOLO

Not sure if its been posted before but people should unplug appliances if they are in the midst of a thunder and lightning storm, to protect against power surges.

Are these storms that unpredictable?

A couple of hours ago the ORANGE warning was for 1pm - 5pm, now its 3pm - 10pm.

Tis a grand day here on the beara pennensula.
No rain but a bit cloudy. I don't think we will see the heavy rain or thunder here

sryanbruen

Partly sunny skies at Grange.

More than nearly any other weather type, the parameters are particular and in Ireland, rare

arctictree

Bucketing down here in Roundwood. Dry as a bone 4 miles east of us at the coast.

DOCARCH

Rain has eased off/skies starting to clear in Dublin 16. 5.0mm so far today.

DOCARCH

Decent looking storm now in Kilkenny.

What Username Guidelines

Heavy snow in Dublin 1, starting to stick

Pangea

Jeans forecast on air right now doesn't have the orange warning, another example of the TV forecast lagging behind the website

Feck off you

RobertKK

Constant thunder here in Kilkenny, I am north and west of the action currently, but drops of rain are falling.

CirrusBusiness

Athy sparking off. (Looking on live map)
My sister just texted from outside of Kilkenny to say they are experiencing torrential rain and lightning.
Hoping we get some of the action soon. Monday pm also showing potential.

Anyone in Longford? Looks like its getting some amount of rain

My sister is in Aughnacliffe today and text me that it's mad thundering an lightning for the past while, some really loud cracks.
Powers knocked out.

Glorious day here in Waterford City no sign of anything

tarmac100

Yep, constant thunder lightning and very heavy rain for last 20 minutes in KK city. Thought it was moving away, but last flash and rumble very close together.

John.Icy

In a frustrating col of sorts in D9. Just a little too inland for the eastern coastal strip of sun (directly overheard is the split between blue sky and cloud). No rain really as of yet, so would rather it be sunny for now thanthe sky teasing me as is.

Looks like I would have been better situated back home by Athy for a storm.

It's a big cell by the looks of it. Extending from halfway to Kells right across to ThreeCastles/Freshford currently.

The thunder strike areas definitely seem to have migrated south over the last few hours:

Limerick is humid and calm

Not even enough to wet the ground here.
I see Dublin is on that ME weather warning that NIMAN posted, I presume any activity will be confined to the west of the county?
I'll probably hear some distant rumbles later from that direction.

Dank Janniels

Sending ye all thoughts and bread!!

SleetAndSnow

Patches of blue sky here in cork city. Can see some very tall cloud tops in them though.

leahyl

Cork better get some of the action! Wait till I get home from work first though :pac:

Westernyelp

Sunbathing weather in Mayo

Kermit.de.frog

Want to get rid of this dross overhead in Dublin if we want some storms later on.

Finally heard a rumble here, light rain.

OldRio

Thunder echoing around Ballinamore in Leitrim for the past 20 mins. A few strikes of Lightning.

Another rumble.

Eaglebridie 32

Thunder/lightning, moderate rain here at the moment, North Kilkenny/Laois border.

BLIZZARD7

No rain falling in D14 anymore, just bland looking cloud overhead, has brightened up a bit though.

I can see and hear it in the distance.

5 claps of thunder,raining,sun shining and dog hiding under bench,cock pheasant walking into yard,south East Tipp

La.de.da

Wish it would do something here in tipp. It's so heavy and humid. Finding it hard to catch my breath.

Tzardine

Was just on the phone and looking out my kitchen window. Saw the flash and then an instant bang. There was some clatter from it - a big bang and like a cracking noise. Must have been right beside me. Between Kildare and Monasterevin.

Cats are not impressed.

ORACLE2

Some heavy Rain and about 4 or 5 claps of Thunder here in the North Cork Region near Millstreet in the last 15 min or so

You have definitely had more than here. Surfaces are wet again but no rain has been recorded so far today, and I can see blue sky through the cloud now both to the southwest and moreso to the northeast.

thanks for that looks like it skirting us inland

i light shower at lunchtime is it.

robclay26

Thunder rumbling near by, out to the west/ northwest of Delvin, co Westmeath.

patneve2

Just very misty here Dublin coast

DOCARCH

Not sure Dublin is going to get any action! Wind has gone east (in Dublin) and main line of storm/lightning activity, over Leinster, is edging west.

Graces7

Bright sun West Mayo offshore island, and looks as if we will miss the whole thing.
