    You wouldn't be surprised to hear thunder when the likes of these little wall cloud showers are about
    Taken from the Tesco carpark in Arklow a few mins ago
    Temp has also dropped at my station some 3c to 14.8c

    I see these showers have considerably sparked now off the Wicklow coast

    Watching a cloud from my window dramatically increase in height in the last 20 minutes. Not large enough to become anything significant imo but a fascinating watch.

    Sferic showed up here in N Kerry early this morning . Hit and miss showers but remained dry here near Tralee during daylight hours. Drove through some very heavy showers near Killorglin but would be dry a couple of Km's down the road.

    Was flying into Dublin from Copenhagen this afternoon and the Ryanair plane got hit with lightning. Seen it myself And aircraft grounded for inspection after diverting to Belfast.

    It's not a lot really, the radar wouldn't look anything 99% of the time if the strikes didn't sit on the map for an hour or more.

    ECM showing a bit of convection potential running off or along Southern coasts later tonight / early morning.

    Nice bit of Deep Layer Shear available and a convergence zone off the SW which might aid the development of some big enough convection that might become electrified but not sure . Might get a few sferics over water, or the Mountains along the SW might help give a bit of lift. Maybe Cork later ?

    Some small bit of potential for a bit of lightning showing up in the SW from both the ECMWF and Euro 4 in the early morning. Other models showing a small chance of activity in the W. Could be some heavy pulses of rain going through tonight, more so in the SW and W.

    Occluded front and trough passing down over the country tomorrow with reasonable CAPE readings giving some heavy convective showers and perhaps brief pulse type thunderstorms.

    Blustery early on across the country and then easing to breezy later in the afternoon.
