Met Eireann progging that it would be atlantic coastal counties most prone to thundery showers.


you'd go bald in this country tearing you hair out to hear a clap of thunder. Its either all out at sea or fires up on exiting the country.





very dissapointing given their forecast last night made all the more frustrating with the lack of proper radar returns.


set alight across the water with storms.


gas.

Decent day in Arklow
Warm earlier,max of 20.2c
A few spits of rain in wind now
Dark sky south but from radar only a finger of the precipitation of this thread will transit here,most well inland

8.6mm here of much needed rain in the last 24hrs,mostly last night and a few showers around 10am

Donegal Storm

In West Donegal for the weekend, nice enough morning but some good old fashioned bank holiday weather all afternoon, a real washout. Had a few too many last night so thankfully had no plans for the day!

Radar shows sferics nearby as well but can't say I heard anything

Seems to be a strike off the coast of Arklow too,I was out in a downpour at the time about 10 mins ago but didn't hear anything, it seems to coincide with the dark cloud I saw to my south at the time
It got very gusty
